Sophia's Comforting Ritual: Before Naps and Bedtime
Every time we get ready for a nap or bedtime, my Chihuahua, Sophia, and I share a heartwarming ritual. She begins by licking my face, a tender gesture that lasts between five to ten minutes. Once she’s done, she curls up against my neck, seeking warmth and closeness. This comforting routine has become a cherished part of both our nap and bedtime rituals. It’s her unique way of winding down and showing affection, and it never fails to bring me a sense of peace. Sophia’s adorable habit not only strengthens our bond but also adds a layer of joy and calm to my day. Whether it's the middle of the day or the end of it, this ritual with Sophia reminds me of the simple pleasures in life and the unconditional love she brings. It’s a precious moment I look forward to every time we rest. Do you have a similar ritual with your pet? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
