I bought a one bedroom home because it’s compact, quick to clean, and I can’t hoard too much stuff in it.

That said, while my best friend and I each live alone in our own homes after more than a decade together as roommates, we spend most weekends at mine with Butch and still enjoy our Three’s Company routine all together.

We all sleep in the same bed each night where the only kissing and loving involves Butch who insists on it.

Our arrangement sometimes raises questions and eyebrows in others except for us.

We get to enjoy our friendship and share love with our furry four-legged best friend all day and night and nobody needs to miss a good night’s sleep banished to a sofa because of someone else’s eyebrows.

Nobody recoils at a fart or a foot and they both take all the covers since I sleep hot year-round.

Maybe we take best friends to a whole new comfort level for some but it’s how we roll and get to be roommates once again, even if just for a couple days and nights a week.
