Snoopy
She greets my baby
recognizes scent
before nudging
nose into blanket
captures little sock
between teeth, pulls
into game lasting
ten years. First
best friend to my son,
who wins her
heart when he drops
food from high chair,
holds on her back
to balance upright,
pulls her ears,
explores her teeth and gums.
She never growls—
lies on floor patiently
waiting for baby.
