This
is
a
perennial
excuse
for
not
moving
.
It
is
held
sacred
in
my
house
.
If
the
dog
is
in
your
lap
you
are
not
expected
to
get
up
or
fetch
anything
or
otherwise
displace
his
sweet
,
warm
body
.
You
are
allowed
to
languish
until
he
,
of
his
own
volition, moves
on
to
some
other
pastime,
like
lounging
on
a
couch
cushion
or
finding
his
bone
to
chew
.
Other
people
are
expected
to
attend
to
the
person
with
the
dog
on
their
lap.
For
instance
,
if
they
need
water
or
tea
.
And
if
the
doorbell
rings
they
are
automatically
not
the
person
expected
to
answer
it
.
Someone
devoid
of
the
dog
will
have
to
take
care
of
that
task.
Because
when
the
dog
settles
in
your
lap
it
is
the
most
perfect
kind
of
blessing
.
Love
has
come
to
visit
you
and
it
found
you
worthy
and
decided
to
stay
.
This
is
how
it
should
always
be
when
joy
spins
twice
and
makes
itself
at
home
in
the
crooks
of
your
body
.
You
should
get
to
hold
it
against
you
as
long
as
it
is
willing.
