Winnie and Wolf

I’m a Dachshund addict.

Bed warmers, clowns, wrigglers.

Flying, not running.

Legs too short to reach the ground.

Head to tail in motion when I come home.

With them, my sleep is sound.

Winnie in the back of my knees. Wolf in front of my belly.

If I’m a straight line we make a percent sign.

When I turn they adjust, scrambling into place.

When I leave, they scramble to each other.

My six saddest words. “Stay, I will be back soon.”
