Furry alarm clocks

Well there are good ways to wake up and bad ways. That anoying digital clock "meeep meeep" is probably my least favorite. This morning, as many mornings, I was pulled from the land of nod by Charlie standing on me and making "mrp, mrp" noises. That gets his ears scratched which ellicits the jealousy response from Jackie leading to a dog pile....on me. It's kind of nice waking up to big furry alarm clocks that are just saying "get up! we love you! We have to pee!" After a few minutes of furious belly scratching it's outside time. The simple life is good.

Another interesting dog note this am. Charlie watched me shave my head this morning. When I am all lathered up, face and head, the effect is a bit like some Mideval guard with a mail hood but mine is made of shaving foam. It really is funny to look at. Well Charlie didn't get it. He knew that when I had closed the door it was my head but when I opened it to clear the fogged mirror he saw me in full foam and looked at me like I was a mix between a steak and a pocupine. He was visibly relieved when I spoke to him. Dogs are fun.

Off to work.
