I started my Monday by attempting to sleep in just a little bit! But between Lili and Anneliese, I was up at 6:30.
Long ago when I was a teenager and lived with my grandparents, I often slept until nearly noon. My grandmother would only laugh at me and she said, “One day, when you are older, you will not be able to sleep in. Life has a way of tossing responsibilities at you!” And she laughed. “You will see!”
And of course, I did. It started with children and now, at the ripe old age of 62, it is my dogs.
They’re wonderful though. I wouldn’t trade any of them in, despite the early morning call of the wild! For they give far more to me than I could ever give to them. So what’s an early morning?
I was thinking today about the two dackels. Thursday is their 14th birthday. How did that happen?
They’ve been such a big part of my life for so long. I’m not sure who needs who at this point in time. I still think I need them more!
Anneliese in the green collar and Arnie in the blue. Best friends and siblings all these years!
Well, I’m just waiting for the Direct TV repairman to arrive. I am not sure what he can do in the dark of night! Oh well.
