Good morning my idealistic DU family

Petunia lays near me every chance she gets, washes my beard, and loves the beard baths that I give her head and neck every day. She's been unconditionally loving me this way for 14+ years now. I sing to her every day, make a huge production out of feeding time and have adored her for every single day of those 14+ years.
Cuddles comes in about this time every morning after his night out and makes sure to cuddle up with me for 10-15 minutes every morning before his final morning feed and groom session before he slumbers off to sleep for the day. He will also in no uncertain terms remind me that it's time for our walk, or to let him out to prowl.
The daily doses of love I receive make the love I feel seem so exquisitely pure and a gift in and of itself.
I wish you a beautiful day, filled with gifts of that idyllic love, both received and offered. (From pets or humans)
Love, John

Another day that we're together and new opportunities to fortify American Democracy.

Let's get going!
