I say no to puppy kisses, but...

I see what the puppy finds when she hunts in the grass and fields, and I know what she licks off of boots after I've been to the barn.

So when she offers a kiss, I turn my head. No puppy kisses for me.

But horses kisses are completely acceptable.

Their noses are furry and soft and smell of sweet grass.

And their warm breath warms my neck on cold winter days.

And best of all is the view.
