Early this morning I brought the little Wild Thing into bed with me when he woke, and after a little cuddle we fell back asleep.
Suddenly and without warning I woke again. The Wild Thing was on my back bouncing up and down and squashing my kidneys. Bounce, bounce, bounce, then a high screech as he pitched himself off of me and onto the bed. "Good, game over." I thought to myself and tried to resign myself to the reality of waking up.
Bounce, bounce, bounce! "Wheeee!" he said as he flung himself off me again.
"Ugh." I said.
Bounce, bounce, bounce! "Wheeeee!'
This is way too much for a mamma to take before her first sip of coffee.
Being that my "kids" are dogs, I can hardly compare. But when Maddie decides that she wants to sleep in the middle of mama and papa, it is always the direct route that she chooses, and that is, to step right on top of my stomach/pelvic area instead of walking around me. For a westie it is imperative to get to that cozy spot between the 2 humans before one of them moves closer to the other!
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is why do they wake up so early?
ReplyDeleteI've given you an Honest Scrap blog award!
It's tales like these that make me keep taking that magic pill ;) Seriously though, it *is* cute...AFTER coffee, of course!
ReplyDeleteRowena, that is classic! It also sounds like it must tickle a whole lot! Everyday I see more and more similarities between human and dog cuccioli!
ReplyDeleteKC I wish I knew the answer! When they wake us up we are supposed to be fully alert and ready to entertain them, but if we were to foolishly wake them up, whew boy, would we feel the baby wrath!
Thank you for the award, I am honored!!!
Michelle relish the time and lifestyle you have because of that magic pill, but when you are ready- a baby is the adventure of a lifetime, and so much fun! But yeah, it would be nice if they pulled their shenannigans AFTER coffee! ;)
