Every week has its ordinary days, but in our home, one day always stands out above the rest. Itās the day that everyoneātwo-legged and four-legged alikeāwaits for with wagging tails and happy smiles. Yes, you guessed itā¦ itās Pizza Night! šš„š¶
From the moment the sun rises, the excitement begins. The dog somehow knows what day it is. Maybe itās the way we move a little quicker, or maybe itās the smell of fresh ingredients ready to be chopped, but he always senses it. By mid-afternoon, heās already pacing by the kitchen, eyes sparkling, tail swishing against the cabinets.
The fun starts when the dough is rolled out on the counter. Tiny paws rest on the edge of the chair, watching closely as sauce is spread and cheese is sprinkled. Every chop of fresh veggies or slice of pepperoni is supervised by our furry friend, who seems convinced heās the real head chef.
When the pizza finally goes into the oven, the smell drifts through the house like magic. The dog sits right in front of it, ears perked, nose twitching, waiting as patiently as he can. We laugh because it has become a ritualāhe wonāt move until that oven door opens.
And when it doesā¦ oh, the celebration! We set aside a little ādog-safeā slice, specially prepared just for him, topped with healthy goodies instead of pepperoni. He gobbles it up with pure joy, licking every crumb, while we enjoy our own hot, cheesy slices fresh from the oven.
Itās not just about the food, though. Pizza night is about being togetherālaughing, sharing, and creating small moments that make life brighter. The crackle of the crust, the warmth of the fire, and the happy thump of a tail against the floor remind us that joy can be simple.
So when someone asks, āYou know what today is?ā the answer is always the same: Itās pizza night, and no oneāespecially our furry best friendāwould ever let us forget it.
