I'm A Morning Person...Ah Dog

I am a dog with an agenda.  Some people or animals like the morning, while others don't really wake up until later in the day.  I myself, am a morning animal.  I would say person because I am like a two-year old child, but I'll unfortunately stick to animal.

To give you an idea of my morning schedule, it starts about 6:30.  I lay in my bed, which is next to my mommy's bed, and I just stare at her and wait for her to open her eyes.  I have a sneaking feeling that there are times she is awake, but just won't open her eyes so I won't jump on her.  Yes, I have to confess that the second her eyes are open, I put my two front feet on the bed and she rubs my back, smiles and says "Good Morning Missy", which I love, and then I run and get Violet, my best friend, so we can share our exuberance with mommy.  I jump up on the bed, with Violet and make her squeak at least 50 times per minute, if not more.  Sometimes if my Mommy doesn't get out of bed right away, I help her a little bit by putting my nose on her back and push her a little bit or give a little "arf" so she will get up. 

Once my mommy makes her bed and takes the pillows out of the chair and put back on her bed, I do my duty and look out the window to make sure everything is fine out-in-the-world. After I have scoured the streets in front of our house and barked my head off at something out there, my mommy is usually doing her hair. I grab Violet and take her to my mommy and she will throw her for me to run after. That is so much fun.  Remember, I've had a full nights sleep, so I am full of energy.  When I get tired of chasing Violet, I just lay her down wherever I want to and Mommy will usually throw her back into my bed.  I do, however, put her back in my bed by myself sometimes, but that's usually at night.


After my mommy has eaten breakfast, she usually goes into the computer room and gets on the computer.  While she is doing that, my daddy takes me for my morning walk.  That is always fun and I get to hear and see my friends in the neighborhood.  I don't really like cats, so when I see one of those, I go ballistic.  When we get home I get one of those wonderful "treats" and then I am off to the computer room to let my mommy know that I'm home.  Then she picks me up, so I can have a good look at her and tell her of my adventures and then check out the computer for myself.



Once I have gotten all the love from my mommy, checked out the world for whatever is happening outside, gone on my walk and check out the computer, my next favorite thing to do in the morning is to go outside in the backyard and lay by the orange tree.  There is a spot of sun that I just have to lay in.  My mommy is figuring that I just know instinctively that I am getting Vitamin D from the sunshine and whatever else I think I need.  After I have laid there for a bit, I come back into the house and jump up on the chair to take my morning snooze...I've been busy.  The rest of the day is fine, but the majority of my energy is used up in the morning.  Have a good day everyone.
