[Dailydrool] The morning rumpus

[Kr1204]

First, I must apologise. For someone who has nothing to do but attend 3 
Physical Therapy sessions a week you would think I would stay current 
with the Drool. My condolences to everyone who has lost a beloved hound 
in the past week- I have been there many times and know the pain.
Now, on to my story. Every morning about 6:30 I am awakened by Jordan 
and Loki taking turns flopping down next to me in bed for bellyrubs. 
This lasts for about 20 minutes. Then they start the basset 500 which 
starts on my bed then out the door, down the stairs, down the hall and 
back up again barking and play growling as loud as they can. Each 
circuit ends on my bed where they play "king of the hill" until they 
take off again. The best part is when they tire of that they stand in 
front of my x's bedroom door and start the Howlaluyah chorus with every 
bark, whine, whistle, squeak that a basset can muster until he gets up 
and feeds them. I lay in my bed and laugh because I am scamming him. I 
am recovered enough that getting up and feeding them is not a problem 
but I come home after each therapy session moaning and flop on the 
couch and answer all questions with how much I hurt (I don't). So until 
I go back to work in April, I am enjoying his discomfort at having to 
get up early just to stop the noise!
