Car horn, noisy children, quiet returns and sleep deepens.  Hours later, click, click, click, click, click, sniff, sniff, sniff, thump, rattle of door, and loud sigh.    Click, click, click, click, click, thump, thump, thump, thump.

     An hour passes then click, click, click, click, click, thump, rattle of door, soft whine.

     “Okay, okay.”  I open the door to a white dog wagging his tail.

     The bed bouncing commences.  On the bed, off the bed, on the bed, off the bed, on the bed.   He stops to cuddle a few minutes, then bounces off the bed to put his paws on my dresser and stare at the dog in the mirror.  A couple more bed bounces and he’s ready to go downstairs.

     Morning Mom.

     You all have a good one!
