Sleepy!
I’m very sleepy today – I didn’t sleep very well last night. I’ve been feeling kind of guilty because the other night I woke up at 3AM to find Molly curled up in a ball outside our bedroom door (we have a baby gate across it to keep her out). She looked so miserable, like she was trying to be as close to us as she could. So, last night I put everything she could get into away, cleaned the stray bits of stuff off the floor (I was much too tired to vacuum) and took the gate away. She was so happy, tail wagging, sniffing everything in the room, just hanging out. But when Denis turned the lights out, she went down to the family room. So, I spent the whole night listening for the jingle-jangle of the tags on her collar, hoping she’d come back upstairs…and worried that if she did she’d find something I hadn’t put away to get into trouble with! Of course, she also picked last night to bark at random things just about every 20 minutes, so even if we hadn’t opened up the gate I probably would’ve been up half the night. I used to be a very heavy sleeper, until I got a dog. I would imagine it’s much worse when you have children to listen for in the middle of the night!
