The Fluffy Promise

“Fluffy! Where are you?”
Remy searched.
Under the bed…
Behind the toy box…
Even in the dark closet.
He couldn’t sleep without Fluffy?
Remy hugged Tin-Tin.
He cuddled Rocket.
He snuggled Poppy.
But nothing oozed love like Fluffy.
Remy sank into his pillow.
He tossed and turned.
It was going to be a long, lonely night.
His eyes swelled shut.
Mom tiptoed in. “I forgot. Look who I found while spring cleaning.”
“Fluffy!” Remy leaped up and grabbed the old, tattered T-shirt.
He buried his nose and breathed in the familiar scent.
“I’ll never let go of you again!”
And with an extra nuzzle, he whispered, “I promise.”
So cute, Jany! Love how you had us thinking it was a dog! 😃
