I heard Maria’s voice coming up through the floor vent in the bedroom, she was yelling “I hope you’re up,” and in seconds, the bedroom door burst open – I think it was closed – and her squad of canine goons was upon me.

Since I jumped out of bed, the only thing I could salvage was a picture, so I turned on the reading lamp and grabbed my Iphone. They wake me up, but there are lots of people out there who can’t wait to see a photo of them.

I am no fool, People love to see these dogs wake up, and I have to say, it pretty sweet to see how much working dogs love to work.

I am now a part of their morning routine, and dogs love routine.

I’m a little sorry to be the work, but life is what you make of it, yes? I’m beginning to think about revenge on Maria, who sleeps more than I do.

I don’t want to give anything away on the blog, but a plan is starting to crystallize. I’ll try to capture the screams.

Stay tuned.
