[Dailydrool] My Morning

[Dale Rutz]

Good morning Droolers, It's Gracie here,

I am having a lovely morning.  I cannot remember a time when my mornings were 
any different than this.

I slept with my Natalie last night in her bed just her and me all snuggled 
tight.  I always wake up at 4:30, no one knows why but I always do and if I am 
not already in bed with everyone then the clueless momPerson always says "shhhhh 
shhhh don't make a commotion."  Sometimes she will pull me up in bed with her 
under the covers against her belly and other times she picks me up and settles 
me on the dog bed beside her bed and hugs and kisses me.  Either way I am a 
happy girl.  This morning LuLu and Snoopy were taking up most of the bed already 
so she put me in the dog bed and hugged me and kissed me and I rolled over on my 
side and rubbed my snooter with my paws cause it's really cute and then I went 
back to sleep till 6:30.

At 6:30 on the dot I woke everyone up ..... up, up, up it's a school day it's 
breakfast time, it's your daily wake up call, up, up, up it's Gracie here 
everyone get out of bed up, up, up, you too you grumpy ole Snoopy you ... up up 
.... whoops ..... out of Snoopy's way, NOBODY better head down that hall until 
Snoopy does, Snoopy leads the charge for the bowls, don't mess with Snoopy till 
he's had his breakfast .... take it from me!  I found that out the hard way 
(ouch, ouch, leggo my ear, ouch)

So we went down the hall following Snoopy and then the clueless momPerson and I, 
we go out to the garage together and mix up bowls (blue buffalo lamb and rice, 
pumpkin and green beans for breakfast, yum).  Then we have our bowls.  Snoopy 
and LuLu do their thing, mommy doesn't keep track of when they go outside and go 
potty they just go.  But me, I have to go outside on a leash in front right 
after breakfast (and again right before bed) because I'm the baby.  It's 
FREEZING cold at 6:40 in the morning, we take 4 steps onto the grass, I pee and 
we come back inside.  LuLu and Snoopy are allowed to wait until it warms up to 
go outside but not me, oh no, nobody trusts Gracie with a full bladder ...... go 
figure.

So then the clueless momPerson makes lunches and coffee and wakes the girls up 7 
more times (each) and they claim WE won't let them out of bed ..... that's silly 
.... me and LuLu go cuddle Natalie and Snoopy goes and cuddles Julianne .... 
they can get up anytime they want .... mommy's clueless, it's not our fault 
they'd rather snuggle bassets then get dressed.

Then mommy drove Natalie to the bus stop and let her wait in the car cause it's 
cold and then she came home and drove Julianne to school and then she came home 
(by now it was 8) and played fetch with Snoopy (he's weird) and then he got 
tired and jumped up on the ottoman and LuLu and I played chase and wrestle until 
we were tired and now we are all napping on the chairs in the sunbeam.

Just like every other morning in my life.  Just like the one before and the one 
after.  Just like always.

Love Gracie who has pushed any other type of memory right out of her head
with LuLu (likewise) 
and Snoopy who still remembers his mommy Dianne (who died) and Christmas and 
everything.  The clueless momPerson tells him all the time that its ok, he can 
and should still love and remember her .... he's supposed to be trying to forget 
what happened in between Dianne passing and mommy adopting him but Snoopy is one 
sensitive hound and they weren't nice to Snoopy.

P.S.  Mommy always tells us where she's going and what she's going to do there. 
 Always.
