Get out of my head

GAWD, i love a good sleep. The kind where you wake up in the morning, a little groggy, but completely content about the blissful sleep you just had. The kind where you yawn and a little noise comes out like a kitten. You know the kind. The kind where you stretch and then decide...maybe a few more minutes. Where your blankies are all burritoed around you and only your nose is poking out for fresh air. Where no matter how much you stretch and move the blankies are always covering your toes so they don't get chilled. Ahhhhh, the good sleeps.

They don't come along that often. Usually it's me waking up...dazed, confused, with a 70lb dog attached to my back. See, i pride myself on being an animal lover. My dog gets the bed. I know, i know, many people see this as a problem. The only problem i have is when he hogs the bed. But he's SO CUTE...how could you not want him to be snuggly and dreamy all beside you? He yawns chronically in the morning and each one lets out one of those little kitten sounds so i know he's had a good sleep. I, on the other hand, am usually all achy and sore. Cause he conforms himself to my body when i'm sleeping...so if im in a temporary comfy position he wheedles his way in snuggs right up. Then i can't move and in my comatose state i just lay there apparently...unwilling to disrupt his cutsie little dog napping.

All is forgiven when i roll over and see his 70lb frame wrapped up like a sleeping baby deer. GOD he's so cute. I consider him one of the 'people' i should be so lucky to have in my life. And then i say..."morning buddy, (his name is Cash) Wanna go downstairs?"
And he yawns..again, and unwraps himself and sticks out his way-too-long legs. The end of his long tail starts to wag...but just the end cause it's morning...can't expect too much from a sleepy puppy.
He slowly gets up and steeeeeeeeeetches out. And then looks expectantly at me like it's my turn to stretch. I do. Then it's off to start the day.

God i love my dog.
