Have you ever owned a nanny dog? I have
Sometimes when I'm sleeping I get mistaken for being dead. When I was little I asked my mom how she woke up when the baby cried. After I expressed my fears of not being able to wake up when I become a mom she said you will.
Guess what? She lied.
There is no one on planet earth or any aliens that sleep more like a hibernating bear then me. I get equally cranky when you wake me like a bear.
There are points in my childhood where my older sister insisted my younger sister screamed in my face, sleep screaming, and I wouldn't move. I cannot attest to if this happened or not. I can however tell you that I was hit in the head with a curtain rod that sleepwalker Elise dropped on my head. I of course stayed asleep.
And so god has blessed me with a nanny dog. Every morning while I am taking my rock like form in my bed boomer comes to wake me, by barking in my face, licking me, nudging me until I begrudging get up.. Then like the nanny he is he leads me down the hallway to Lila's room where she is crying.
Dogs have some amazing talents. On a different note, boomer can tell time. At least he can tell when the mailman is going to come. All of a sudden he will stop what he's doing and hide behind the sheer curtains breathing heavily at the window. In 10min or less there's the mailman. The boys got skills
There's so many things I want to say...first off how eles do you think I was able to sneak in ur room and steal your clothes..you slept thru all the opening of drawers...secondly yes Elise did scream in your face multiple times literally in your ear...thirdly how sweet of boom..remember when shadow would sit by the window and watch for us to come off the bus..what a lover.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if all dogs like the mailman.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I used to sleep like a rock. Now I wake up with every sound Bryton makes. You must have a much more restful sleep then I do!
