From 11.30.11 Shoes and Slippers
(This was one of Mommy’s first blog posts. Wow she used to ramble.)
C doesn’t feel well and wants to stay home from school. She caught the cold from V, who was in bed all day yesterday, who caught it from K8 when she was home from college over the T-day holiday. But Grammie thinks they caught it all from her. How is it that even though I stay in bed and pretend to still be sleeping, the cats, who are right there so they know I am faking, and the dogs, who are across the room in their blanketed kennels, all know that I am awake and start to whine? Don’t you crazies know that humans are suppose to get more sleep? You sleep whenever you want. Cats, I read, sleep 18 hours a day. Me, I have a specific time when I can get a few zzzzs. Oh well, up and at it. Don’t think you are getting feed until at least 6:30 (or you will want dinner to early). Do they feel your energy subconsciously when you are trying to fake sleep? Does it hang in the air? Maybe I am moving my feet and they hear the rubbing of the sheets? I haven’t been able to sleep more than 2 hrs at a clip in about 20 years. I just figure that is my normal. The animals on the other hand see it as an opportunity to get in some late night snacks and conversation. Just another regular DogDaz morning. ❤
Lean on me
Why do dogs like shoes and slippers so much? Is it because they smell like us?

I would say they smell it in the air.

I can tell by the change in her breathing when my mummy’s awake…and then I pounce! Afterall, she might decide to feed me early that day – it would unfair not to give her the opportunity BOL

Chancy says the secret is…you gotta sleep when they do. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do that? Hugs and nose kisses
