He fell in love with himself the other day. Quite literally. I decided to read a little before bed, this vampire novel my coworker started me on. Love stories are usually so blah to me, but hey, it passes the time. So he sat on the bed and when I turned the light on in my room, it caused a reflection in my window. Typically I keep my blinds up so that in the morning, I can see the vine covered fence that reminds me each day of the greatest morning I ever woke up to. Ill tell you about that another time.
So this reflection in the window immediately caught my dog's attention. His ears perked, he said up straight as a basset hound can and studied himself. Well I could not stop giggling and what made it worse was when he started to lean forward, trying to get closer to this mysterious dog in the window.
For the better part of an hour he sat there, longing to reach out and sniff such beauty and only when I turned out the light did he finally stop watching. He fell asleep that night facing the window, perhaps waiting for himself to come back.
Isn't that how it always goes? We do not want the companionship of whats right next to us because Jaz was there, trying to bug him for attention and he had no time for her. Instead we look to whats just beyond our reach, seeking to catch the unicorn.
At this point, I am not sure what to do. I could enable him for my own entertainment and get a full length mirror. But I feel like it would be silent torture to always have what he longs for right there just past the glass. I suppose the good news is that my dog has a healthy self love. It's more then some of us have. Self love, vanity, its all the same really.
