Smushy Face

by Jon Katz

My doctors are experimenting with a powerful new anti-cholesterol drug that could replace statins, which I have had difficulties taking. Sometimes, in the afternoon, the medication, which I inject myself, leaves me drowsy, and I lie down for a few minutes.

I had this dream that Bud was sitting in my lap and when I opened my eyes, he was sitting with his head once again in my right shoulder, and my Iphone once again in my pocket.

It seems Bud likes to take naps with me, he hops up somehow without waking me up and he makes himself at home and goes to sleep. Bud has a smushy face, it squeezes easily into small spaces.

It is an interesting face to find so close when I wake up. Was I really dreaming the same thing? Are the angels playing with me?

This is when ugly gets cute.

  1. It’s nice looking at that face, even in a photo. I just want to pet his head and tell him what a good boy he is.
