Sunday morning chronicle:
3am - Awakened by Ginger, who had to go out. Woke up. Let both dogs out. Ginger did her thing and I let them back in. Fall back to sleep around 3:45. Curse dogs for waking me up at an ungodly hour...
5am - Awakened by Nutmeg, who is sick. I promise to clean up the doggy yuke if hubby will let her out. He agrees and lets her out. I ask where Ginger is after I finish cleaning up the carpet. Hubby assures me she is under the bed hiding because she doesn't want to go out. Finish cleaning. Hubby lets Nutmeg in. Turn out lights and go back to sleep around 5:30. Bitch and moan under my breath about stupid useless dogs...
7:30am - Awakened by both dogs. Nutmeg is up sniffing and moving around and I hear Ginger whining. Get up to let them outside, throwing on pajama bottoms and attempting to hunt down Ginger in limited light. Look everywhere for Ginger on my way to the back door. She is nowhere to be found. I open the door to let Nutmeg out and discover her soaking wet and shaking/crying.
She evidently got out when my husband let Nutmeg in just before 5:30 and went down to the creek behind our house for a swim... she was freezing and scared and I felt horrible! Dried her off and cuddled her for half an hour...
