When I woke up this morning, I thought it was a little warm, but I didn't think anything of it. Then I realized I was on the very edge of the bed, so I tried to move over a little bit. That's when I encountered resistance in the form one Australian Cattle Dog. Alley was sleeping right up against me.
Now, I don't mind Alley sleeping with me. She's a small dog (a little less than 40 pounds) and it's a queen-sized bed, so there's plenty of room. But sometime in the night, she had moved over onto my side of the bed and crowded me. She had literally left me the length of my forearm...and I paid for the bed.
Of course, being the generous soul she is, when she realized her mistake (after a couple of shoves from me), the dear thing moved over to the middle of the bed.
After I got up (and believe me, nothing makes it harder to get up than the knowledge you have Wills and Trusts in an hour), I turned on my iPod and the first new song that came on was "Bad Day." Somehow, that seems to bode badly for the day. (Of course, the next two songs were "Do You Believe in Magic?" and "I Love Life," so I have a little more hope.)
The last song I heard was "Destin" and that, combined with a conversation I had with Becky Sunday, really makes me want to go out of the country this summer. I should really see if Jeannine is interested in doing a study abroad thing this year...
mornings,
dogs
