Woke up around 02:47. Dunc was nudging me with his squeak cow.

Dunc the golden chonk and highland squeak cow and i then cuddled until around 03:00. We always cuddle when we can Dunc and dad on the floor or couch always in the recliner or even in the car.
At times my furry boy finds the distance between us as he sits in the passenger seat so great.
That he will move and lean into me and want my arm over him as i drive.
At times I think if Dunc could talk when we ride in the car he would complain about his harness seat belt / leash.
Saying this thing gets in my way trying to car snuggle father.
Our dogs do give us so much love so pure and sweet.

We’d invite you over to squeak the new cow. Yep sitting now at the kitchen bar having coffee and Dunc is squeaking away.

Then after I have the toy Dunc will usually take it back and proceed with a proper squeak tutorial this is how you do it dad.

and i still love cats, but no longer have them. Dogs are the only ones that offer that unconditional love you can't find anywhere else. Having said that, my last cat, Luke, Lukie, he loved me like a dog. Got my little guy Chai right next to me now, and you're right, he wants to be physically connected at all times, unless we're playing.

Love to snuggle at night—even the fosters insist on their spots on the bed near you.

Named Skeeter (also, on occasion…the asshole) will play fetch. He also went through the album collection and was randomly pulling albums of the shelf. He bumps his dad’s head with his head and will sit on his dad’s chest when he is in bed.
