Morning Gone to the Dogs
Who will rid me of this troublesome hound? Man’s best friend has been taking some liberties of late, or more accurately “early”. It’s not enough that I house, feed, and clean up after this pooch, but for reasons surpassing all understanding, he has taken to requiring a potty break at approximately 5:00AM every day. It doesn’t matter when he last ate or drank, it has no bearing on when his last trip to the loo was. He is a creature of habit, and this particular habit runs like clockwork.
Having to let the creature out when barely awake is one thing, but when he takes your side of the bed after you let him back in is just insult upon injury. Worse still is that subtle realization growing in recesses of an overly tired mind that you are awake. It’s not the self realization that you are awake and that you should return to sleep, it is rather that sinking feeling knowing that you are awake, and that no amount of effort short of alcohol and/or narcotics will let you sleep. Crap.
Back in the prehistoric era when we humans domesticated these four legged fur covered bladders, it was not so much an issue. We lived in caves, dogs pretty much came and went on their own. Ten thousand years later, in our overly protective suburban environment with locked doors, dogs need our help to have a morning “constituational”. It’s high time I think, to start breeding the beasts with opposable thumbs. Then they could open their own @#%$ doors.

Woof! At least yours try to get OUT of the house…when ours develops opposable thmbs, I’m hoping he’ll clean up after himself…
eeewwwwwww!
Where has Lassie gone?
Yes, where indeed? Lassie would be able to open the door by herself, or at least get one of the studio assistants to do it for her…
