DOG DAYS OF FALL

Okay, I know it is suppose to be the dog days of summer and that it means it is so hot you cannot do anything but melt. However, we have had 5 days of rain, luckily right now the sun is shining and I will have to take moping girl for a walk. We tried to walk yesterday and got caught in a downpour. This meant hiding under trees as the band of heavy rain passed by. We were both happy to get indoors when I cut the walk short. Five days of moping around the house, the dog and myself. She would curl up next to me, unheard of, whenever she got the chance. She would not even play fetch in the house. The only positive thing to her day was the fact that my son was home for Fall break, so she got to play wrestle-mania with him and not me. But now he is back at school and it is up to me to play. We did however, get a game of indoor fetch done, I will have to take her for a walk soon, so she knows that I love her.

Awakened by dog breath

My husband had a test on Tuesday, or so he thought, so I got made breakfast at 5:30 in the morning to find out he had the wrong day, it was today. So after making breakfast I went back to bed. Around 6:45 am I felt like someone was staring at me and felt breath on my cheek. I opened my eyes and encountered my dog who had escaped the kitchen, entered the bedroom and was now standing over me. Upon opening my eyes, I got a face washing. Very interesting way to be woken up. Then she just curled up near my tummy and went back to sleep, so I also shut my eyes for a few minutes, like hitting the snooze alarm. After 5 minutes we both got up, it was time to start the day, plus I think she was hungry. Today no wake up call from my dog, but plenty of hugs and kisses when I came into the kitchen. She is such a sweetie, but I do not think I could sleep with her all night, she would drive me crazy. I have a feeling we would be pounced on all night long, then I would be awake and she would be curl in a ball somewhere and go back to sleep.
