Doggie Wake-Up Call

I have a love/hate relationship with my free wake-up call system.

Adopt Now: The Free Wake-Up Call Included

At 6:28am I hear a whine coming from the corner of the room. I went to bed around 11pm last night so I'm not very cognizant. It's warm in bed and I'm determined to drift back to sleep so I snuggle deeper into my cocoon of blankets and bedsheets. I'm halfway to Dreamville when I hear another whine.

This time the whining triggered stirring at my feet. I feel a head pushing against me similar to the head that begs, "Pet meeeeeeee". I ignore it and pretend I'm asleep. If I keep pretending they'll leave me alone.

The head gets more insistent and a cold nose touches my face.

"Nessie!" I exclaim as I hide under the covers. That's exactly how I want to be woken up; a cold nose on a freezing morning.

I groan as Nessie keeps pawing at the covers to get at my face again. The whining in the corner gets louder as Princess gets impatient. She may be fine being in the kennel at night but as soon as morning arrives she lives up to her name.

To stop the pawing and the whining I drag my body out of bed, open the kennel door, and then rush both dogs outside.

I don't think I will ever get to sleep in again.These two are my state-of-the-art, complex morning alarm system. And even though I hate it, I wouldn't trade it.

Do your pets have an interesting way of waking you up? Let me know in the comments!

National Mutts Day

Happy National Mutts Day! I thought I would share some pictures of my wonderful mutts in honor of this day. Purebreds may be nice, but I think mutts do it better.


But before I show you these pictures let me say you should see some pictures of me before we got dogs (I meant shouldn't). I will be nice and give you one (1) picture of me that accurately depicts life without a dog.
Am I not turtley enough for the Turtle Club?

I'm sure this picture is a good enough reason for you to head to your nearest shelter and pick up your new best friend just so you don't suffer a similar fate. Now back to the dogs.

Oh banana, how I love you!

Nessie was jealous and wanted to be held.
Once again, happy National Mutts Day and I hope you have a mutt or two to love.

If you have a mutt you love, hop on over to our Facebook page and leave us a picture!
