Not a morning dog

I think my dog fits into my family exceedingly well. It seems like the rest of us she is not a morning dog. Right now it is 8:29 am and Kai is fast asleep. She did get up temporarily at 6 am., but has since crawled up into the chair I vacated only minutes ago and went back to sleep. This is not because she is sick, this is a typical morning. Unless, she is sick, she sleeps until at least 7 every morning and like today sometimes beyond that. The only problem with her sleeping late is that she may stay up late tonight causing mayhem and havoc. Though I think she maybe mellowing out. She is 7 months old, still a toddler, still chewing things, but not as much as she used to. She has added the digging to the other side of the Earth problem. I think that she buries her chew toys outside, that includes composite bones and hard chews. I am pretty sure that while she is in the house sleeping, some critter is digging them up and carrying them away. Which is why she is crazily digging trying to find them. When it is raining, she buries the bones down the sides and in between my couch cushions. Then she pushes a pillow overtop of them. Now if I happen to look her way while she is doing this, she grabs the bone or chew and hides it somewhere else. SHe must think that I go outside when she is sleeping to eat all her bones. I wish I could sleep like that oblivious to the world. Actually, she is not oblivious, she keeps one ear up while she sleeps. So calm right now, I hate to get up and start cleaning because she looks very peaceful sleeping and I get lots done when I am not chasing her like a madman, trying to get her favorite chew toy, my shoes.
