If they look in mirrors at all they may think
"Hey! Good lookin' dog!!" and then it's out the door to see what new and wonderful things happened in the yard overnight.
And they eat! Ahhh, one of the highlights of their day: food. And with a warm, full belly, maybe they fall asleep again for awhile but when I open the crates out they swarm, tails going, tongues going--
Don't jump on me -- is such an empty command here.
And they play
"I am the happiest to see you even tho I just saw you a half hour ago."
How could you stay depressed and angry and cold and old and frustrated?
At least for those few moments, the room is so full of life and love and happiness. How can you not smile or laugh, or want to sit on the floor and be overwhelmed?
And you know, They're For You. No matter what you do or say during the rest of the day, those dogs will vote for you. They have declared their political party long ago, and it's You.
Dogs: They watch out for you.
Hmmmm. Sophie curls up tighter in her chair "If I'm small enough they can't see me" in case someone might want to put her out. Admittedly it's 5.30 a.m. and dark outside. Rooney just looks befuddled. If you want to pet or cuddle him that's just fine, but don't expect him to play an active part! My dogs just don't do mornings! But when they do deign to get up, everything is new and wonderful.

ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I like dogs better than most people I know!
ReplyDeleteThe Leia Hound gets up at 6a.m checks out the backyard for bunnies and such comes back in gets her breakee and races up to beat me to the pillow... She ALWAYS wins...
ReplyDeletethe lazy ass jersey hounds start their mornings (if they have their choice) at about 11 am. the world could tip over sideways & they would so not notice.
ReplyDeletethey do however make me smile each & every day..& i so like to think their world revolves around me..because for some weird reason..they love me & think that i am the bestest thing the whole wide world.
please don't tell them the feeling is mutual.
