By the Door

by Fern and Maddie

Summer is our favorite time of year. The sun moves around the house and we follow. Its pure, bright yellow spots of light fall on the mat in front of the back door. It is our favorite place to be in the early afternoon. The two of us jockey for position, each hoping for the perfect spot. Bulky Fern usually wins. She turns a few times then lies curled in a ball with the sun warm on her fur. I settle for what’s left. We get drowsy and fall asleep.
