The morning sunlight on the kitchen floor was golden and steady, casting long, familiar shadows near the pantry door. I stood by the ceramic dog-bone jar by the coffee maker, holding a handful of kibble for Mabel.
The afternoon light stretched long across the kitchen floor, hitting the ceramic dog-bone jar by the coffee maker just so. I was standing near the pantry, watching Mabel wander through the room as she always does. Then she stopped.
The kitchen floor feels like the center of my world every morning. I reach for the ceramic dog-bone jar by the coffee maker, listening for the familiar click of nails on the linoleum.
