Sleeping With Pets
There are many dumb things you can do in the course of a day but nothing beats sleeping with pets for adding to the level frustration experienced when you're trying to get some needed sleep.
Today for instance, LOML ( aetheldaeg ) had a luncheon date and asked if I could look after Teddy; no problem, he usually keeps me company whenever she's out of the house, in fact, not much else gets done except him keeping me company whenever she's out of the house. He suffers acute separation anxiety.
Regrettably, Teddy's legs are too short (perhaps the bed is too tall) for him to jump up on the mattress without assistance, that usually means he taps the mattress (insrt drumming noise here) until I reach over and lift him up until he can get on by himself. No problem so far, things beging to go awry when the cats enter the picture. You see, they're all accustomed to sleeping with me from before Teddy came to live with us, however, they're not at all eager to have their ears assaulted by the incessent licking of Teddy's tongue. Suffice to say that they keep leaving the bed, Teddy in his excitement leaps off after them... you know what happens next... yep, he comes back 'cause he misses his mom and wants back on the bed, tap, tap, tap, tap, I lift him up and he attacks the next unsuspecting cat with ears.
Makes me wonder how dumb I am to allow them to keep me company while I'm trying to get some sleep so I am able to do my work...
