All Hail the Heat

Today the heat kicked on during daylight hours for the first time since summer.

Mina and Paco happened to be in the beds closest to the heat vent in their bedroom, but Stanley was lying on the brown cube beside my desk.

The air coming out of the heat vent was still cool, but as it warmed up, Stanley suddenly leaped out of bed and ran downstairs.

I followed him down and found him sitting in front of the heat vent in the kitchen. Last year we kept beds by that vent but because of our open house in September, we’d moved all the beds. So Stanley was sitting, shivering, on the tile floor in the kitchen.

I found another bed for him and as he caught sight of it, he began to dance. He climbed into it before I had even finished putting it on the floor, and lay down.

It takes so little to make a dog happy.
