On a recent morning, sometime before sunrise...
Dog: "Whine." <Hey.>
Me: Zzzzz
Dog: "Whine!" <Hey!>
Me: "Mgrff" <Wha?>
Dog: "Whine, Whine!" <Get up!>
Me: Looks around. Kera is sleeping on her bed - not her. Buddy sleeping on our bed - not him. Daisy is at the side of the bed looking at me. Whining dog identified.
Dog: "Whine, Whine!" <Get up now!>
Me: Slowly sits up
Dog: Dancing from paw to paw while looking at door outside. "Whine, whine whine whine!!" <Get up, or I'm going to pee on the floor! Timmy's down the well again! Giant meteor headed for the earth! The kid next door is playing with your almost-complete Rose-A-Roc! GET UP!!!>
Me: Climbs out of bed, begin the search for the invisible fence collar - she's an escape artist, and doesn't go out without it.
Dog: Silence
Me: Turns around
Dog: Has climbed onto the bed, and is curled up in the nice warm spot so recently vacated. Head down, eyes closed.
Me: "Well played, dog. Well played."
Me: Since it's 8 minutes before my alarm is scheduled to go off, shuffle off to the kitchen to make coffee, slowly shaking my head.
