Totsi the Dog wakes. She wakes me, usually by knocking the covers off me with her nose, sitting or laying down upon me, and grunting repeatedly. We get up and leave the bedroom, where we find Jupiter Jones waiting outside the door. Totsi runs down the hall with Jupiter following. Totsi asks to go into the back yard for a bit, and while she's there I refill the food and water dishes and dole out the morning treats. (Totsi always has her morning treat waiting for her when she comes in. It's what we do.) Totsi and Jupiter play while I am making my coffee.
(Didgeridoo Boy always sleeps through this.)
This morning, the routine was amended:
Totsi the Dog did her usual. We left the bedroom as usual. Jupiter Jones chased her down the hall as usual. Totsi went to the back yard, and food and treats were distributed. Yep, per the norm. Totsi and Jupiter began playing while I was making my coffee - - yatta yatta yatta. I walked upstairs to get some ibuprofen to rid myself of the reminders of yesterday's dental work. Heard very loud thunder. Odd, that, considering the sun. Started walking back downstairs, and glanced down into the foyer just in time to see a ball of dog surrounding another ball of hissing, poufy-tailed cat roll end-over-end into the foyer and slide across the parquet floor, hit the little rug in front of said door, and slide sideways from there almost into a hope chest. They both got up and trotted off as if nothing had happened. I made my coffee.
(And all while Didgeridoo Boy slept.)
(Enjoy your weekend!)
