It's a beautiful day

The sun is shining and there isn't a cloud in the sky. Finally, summer has arrived. So you'd think that Mollie would leap out of bed, grab a tennis ball and demand to play - but no, she refused to get out of bed. After being called a few times she reluctantly staggered downstairs and flumped onto the beanbag, from whence she gave me a hard stare before tucking her nose under a hind leg and muttering "hrrrrmmmmph" - remember the sound that hovercrafts make when they land and 'deflate'? It's extraordinarily similar. Obviously the cats were obliged to eat her breakfast rather than let it go to waste.

Mollie didn't shift again until it was time to go next door. When I opened our front door she had a brief moment of excitement as there was a strange dog wandering past so she obviously had to run out and chase it, which was rather worrying; luckily there was no traffic! On the way to the neighbour's she was still barking smugly to herself... but once there she went straight upstairs to bed.

Have I mentioned that Mollie doesn't do mornings?

Are you SURE she is not a Lurcher? Lurcher's don't DO mornings. I have to wake them for breakfast.

Lol! About the only things that can properly wake her in the mornings are a full bladder or a squeaky tennis ball. Or possibly, just possibly, the word 'walk' if it's a nice day..and she's clumsy except when she's running/jumping... but she's only about a foot tall, she could probably stand underneath one of your crew...:D

*lol* isn't she too young to be like that? My pooches like to sleep in if I do, but they're always "ready to go".

Is she like this every morning? Have you checked her tonsils? I tend to think everything's connected to tonsils, after Ben's surgery.

hugs!

I promise I'll get her tonsils checked next time she's at the vets!! She's like this most mornings, but especially when, like today, she's spent almost the whole of the previous day playing ball and then only had a few hours sleep cos her nasty mums didn't get to bed until late... it's a hard life!
