Covered in shih tzu

It's 4 am. 

No power. 

Shih tzus crying. 

Swear under my breath.

Downstairs, it's dark, cold. 

Out of their crates, 

Wrestle, pee on pads. 

Lay down on the couch,

All three pile on me. 

I'm covered in shih tzu.

Three siblings snoring. 

I'm so in love it hurts. 

Thought it would take longer.

I was wrong. 

I'm theirs.
