It is time once again for the perspective of the dog and the cat. As always, the dog gets the first word in on these things, since he has a really short attention span.
7:03 AM. Waking up at home. Big yawn and a stretch. Slept very well. Dreamed of chasing squirrels.
7:06 AM. Looking outside. Lots of birds pecking around on the grass. No sign of a squirrel. Otherwise I'd be barking by now.
7:10 AM. Waiting on the human to get downstairs and see to my breakfast. After all, I can't open cupboards, what with not having opposable thumbs.
7:19 AM. The human comes downstairs. I thump my tail vigorously against the floor. Good morning, human! Fine day, isn't it? Say, it'd be swell if we got to my breakfast, wouldn't you think?
7:22 AM. Watching as the human pours me a big bowl of kibbles.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy....
7:23 AM. Licking my chops after finishing off breakfast just three seconds short of my all time fastest record of finishing breakfast.
7:28 AM. Making inquiries with the human as to if she'll let me out for a run.
7:29 AM. Out the door and on my way. See you later, human!
7:32 AM. Running through the back fields, barking my head off, as happy as I can be. Life is good!
7:48 AM. Stopping in to see Spike the Magnificent, Tormentor of Squirrels. Hey, Spike!
7:50 AM. After the customary doggie greetings, Spike and I get down to discussing essential matters. The movement of the enemy squirrels. What the mailman does on weekends.
7:54 AM. Spike and I discuss expectations for the coming days. Supposedly some rain is in the forecast.
Well, that's good. Rain is good to splash around in.
7:57 AM. Parting ways with Spike to begin the journey home. See you later, Spike.
8:07 AM. Passing through the woods, as happy as I can be.
8:12 AM. Passing by the property where that cranky cat lives. Hey.... there she is on the grass. With her focus up a tree.
I should go say hello.
8:14 AM. Advancing quietly towards the cat, who still doesn't know I'm here. I think I'll surprise her.
8:15 AM. Within three meters. Okay, close enough. Now then, be ready to run at a moment's notice once I start barking....
8:16 AM. Sprinting back to the woods, thoroughly pleased with myself after making that cat jump for the heavens. Sure, she's chasing me, but it was worth it.
8:18 AM. Still hearing the howls of rage coming from back where that cat lives, and various feline curse words. Boy, is she mad.
Oh, well, time to get home.
8:31 AM. The human lets me in when I get home. Human? For the record, don't believe anything if that cranky cat calls and makes accusations.
10:28 AM. The human is having coffee. I have mooched a cookie from her.
12:15 PM. Lunch with the human. She's been kind enough to provide me with a ham and cheese sandwich.
6:28 PM. The human is having dinner. She's cut up some bacon and apple pancakes for me.
11:48 PM. The human is off to bed. Good night, human. Sleep well.
I'll be down here guarding the house. In between well earned naps.
I identify with the doggie who wants to travel the world for adventure but also wants to stay snug under his blankie!
