A little while ago I turned off the TV.  Now, as I sit here at my desk, all the sounds I hear are coming from the two crates behind me.    Soft snores punctuated with a tail wag or two make me smile.

     I love the night when the dogs are snoozing and The Curmudgeon has gone to bed.  I feel as though I can catch my breath a little.  It’s nice to have no demands on me for a little while.

     Yesterday was a busy day for me.  Gavin had another earache so he was constantly looking for attention.  Patty was feeling left out which meant another one who wanted me.  The Curmudgeon was having one of his bad days too. 

     When he went upstairs for a nap I thought I’d get a break because both dogs usually decide they need a nap too.  Nope, Gavin’s earache had him shaking his head every few minutes, poor boy.  No nap for him and no break for me.
