sleeping arrangements

i sleep in a very small bed.
i sleep between a cat and a dog.

i've been sleeping with this cat for almost 13 years.
samuel longhorn beckett has been with me longer than any man.
he has refused to leave the bed...
to the consternation of some.
he has snuggled
and stolen my pillow on more than one occasion.


now, i've brought a real dog to bed.
not a scoundrel.
nor a thief.

a miniature schnauzer.... hmmmm, who on second thought, has been, occasionally, known to be both a thief and a scoundrel.

so far so good,

the cat watches the dog sleep before settling in.

each night, he settles in closer to the dog.


a big cat and a little dog....
with a jenny in between.

someday, i will meet a man.

how will he find room in my bed?
