Tanka Tuesday – Cold & Storm

By Kat Myrman

I’m grateful
on these two-dog nights
for a bed
and two dogs
who warm me while the tempest
rages on

    You know it! My pups snore too. I find it soothing, but when humans do it? Not so much. 😄

  Oh, Kat!! I love this Shadorma. It’s been almost two years now since my sweet Pomeranian girls passed. When I looked up the adjectives for the words I told my husband about the “two dog night.” He used to say that all the time. I miss those furry babies and always will. Your words captured our cuddly nights perfectly. ❤

      Isn’t that the truth? I always say that being a pampered pet is Nirvana. There’s nothing like it. ❤
