Yesterday morning I was tasked to stir two sleepyheads from their slumbers - Chris and Kezzie. I made a quick survey of the situation. Kezzie was six feet above ground, dreaming on her bed with stilts. I would not be able to reach her given my furry paws and my disinclination to climb. Chris was much more accessible as he laid in deep sleep before my paws. I set to work immediately. The first waking up technique - I let out a few of my quick, sharp barks. No response. Technique #2 - I nudged his back with my nose a couple of times. He laid still as a log. This guy's a deep one. It had to take my Technique #3 to see results - my most irresistible, irrepressible LICK. I licked his fingers, palm and arm feverishly and finally he stirred! I received my hugs and praises and raced back to the kitchen where the aroma of fried luncheon meat was occupying my thoughts. I had to get a bite of those most delicious smelling meat. Fill you in on my world another time……
