I’ve grown accustomed to this face

This is the face of the dog we got as a rescue puppy.

This is the face of the dog who growls at other dogs, and barks at strangers.

This is the face of the dog who I sometimes find on my bed, even though he knows he’s not supposed to be on it.

This is the face of the dog who steals the empty cat food sachets out of the bin.

This is the face of the dog who weed on my mum’s carpet last week.

This is the face of the dog who loves to run on his walks.

This is the face of the dog who enjoys cuddles on the sofa.

This is the face that waits for me at the window every day.

I’ve grown accustomed to this face.
