It seemed like just another morning to Peter as he slowly woke.

He slept better than he had in months, and he was awake first, so he kissed his wife on her ear and smiled when she sleepily cuddled into him more.

Yep, everything was great and nothing could derail his day.

Then their pup jumped on the bed and plopped between them, wiggling his way in.

His wife woke laughing at their new pup’s fondness for cuddling, but Peter paused at seeing their pup’s other fondness. His shoe.

Sitting between the happy puppy’s feet was his formerly comfortable slipper.
