An Exercise in Self-Indulgence

Poetry Moment – Pillow Fort

Posted on 2025-10-04 By RB

Our older pup, Peppa, likes her alone time. Her buddy, Chili, is a ball of energy, and sometimes Peppa just needs a break. Lately, she’s been slipping off into our spare room and positioning herself behind a row of pillows. We started to refer to it as her pillow fort. It’s not the most secure location, but she seems to be happy there.

 

Hidden behind the pillows

A little ball of fur

She thinks no one sees her

And she feels secure

Of course, we hear her snoring

She gives herself away

Seems disappointed when we find her

Each and every day.

 

Did you make pillow or blanket forts when you were young?

RB

    Ahahha, she is so photogentic and seems so comfortable! πŸ™‚
    Pillows and blankets are the best way too feel safe and comfortable and I indeed still use that tactic! Snuggling up with some of my shark plushies πŸ˜‰

      Peppa sends her thanks for the compliment. 🐾
      I guess the comfort of pillows must be universal – and why not? Everyone loves a little comfort. πŸ™‚
