DIARY OF A DOG MUMMY
12 midnight……… give furbabies a final cuddle and wish them sweet dreams
00.15…….. first dog climbs the stairs, and sounding like they are wearing pit boots it has to be Tia
00.20……. Tia scratching on the floor to make her spot comfortable
00.30………. second pair of feet climb the stairs and bedroom door pushed open, has to be Samson checking we are in bed
01.45………… hot breath on face, smells warm and rank, dont bother to open eyes, i know its Tia
02.30…….. warm breath on face….ignore
02.31………..loud woooof in face, damn Samson having a laugh
02.52……… finally settled, can go to sleep now
4.50………… AAAAWWWWOOOOOOOOO………Tia decides its time to wake us, the neighbours and the street up as we have apparently been asleep for far too long !!!!!!
06.00……… alarm goes off
06.05………. downstairs and both dogs glare at us as we are disturbing their morning nap
few hours up to breakfast time, then both dogs go back to sleep
11.00………… mad hour of doggy bickering, grumps and Samson winding Tia up
12.00……….sit down with coffee and a snack, and like magic, both dogs appear drooling and in your face
14.00……….. decide to hoover, Samson is scared of the hoover, but with some weird canine morbidness, he has to follow it round whilst getting under foot
15.00 ………filled water bowls umpteen times, Tia gotten under foot too many times to mention
16.00 ……… ice cream van arrives…….cue Tia having to singalong with it
17.00……….. break a mini fight up because Samson wants to walk past a sleeping Tia
18.00……….. fallen over Tia, searched high and low for last biscuit i left on the work surface, look over to see a grinning Samson.
18.02………go to shop for more biscuits
18.10……….. back from shop to find Samson has eaten a tub of fish food, been in the bathroom and shredded a shower scrunchie and dragged a sock out of the laundry bin
18.20……….. cooked their evening meal, a mix of minced beef, butternut squash, herbs and cheese
18.25……….. had my dinner of noodles
18.40………..dogs sleeping their dinners off, get some vital rest before evening shennanigans begin
19.30………….filled water bowls back up, hoovered up again
20.00………….sit down to watch a bit of tv, and on queue it begins……both dogs wide awake, Samson winding Tia up for a reaction, 15 minutes of zoomies where you have to vacate the sofa or risk 50 kilos of malamute jumping on you, which is comparable to a small car dropping from the sky and landing on you
21.00……….absolutely worn out, and so are they
23.00………..daddy arrives home, both dogs suddenly morph into airport security dogs, sniffing bags to see what goodies are coming their way,
23.45………. Samson is in his usual spot guarding the front door, Tia wherever she can get in your way
00.00………….final cuddle and wish them a good night and sweet dreams, and hope you can get at least 4 hours uninterrupted sleep
