Routine

One of the things I keep hearing is that it is important for all of us to get back into our normal routines after Ike. My routine, at least in the morning, is centered around Alex and the Girls. Here's how it goes:

  1. All dogs rousted out of bed and put outside for morning ablutions.
  2. All dogs fed.
  3. All dogs watered.
  4. All dogs walked.
  5. All dogs take a nap waiting for MILK.
  6. The source of MILK (me) messes around with morning meds and food.
  7. All dogs rush to lap up every drop of MILK.
  8. All dogs take a nap.

Number 5 is not completely accurate. They are not really napping... more like leisurely waiting. Alex sits on his pillow, Kemora takes the high road and sits on the top of the comfy chair while Kelis snuggles under a quilt on the comfy chair. I think Kelis trusts the others to alert her to when milk is available. Here they are waiting for the milk from my cereal bowl.



Here they are getting up every last drop.


Here they are settling in for some serious napping. Alex is on top of the comfy chair while Kelis and Kemora go for snuggling together. That little black triangle is Kelis's butt.


And before anyone says it... I know dogs can be lactose intolerant. I did an experiment to see if the quality of the air here would change a lot by not giving the dogs milk for a week. Nope, it made no difference at all ... their sleeping quarters still came up stinky.

I hope everyone is having a good week especially for my fellow residents of the third coast.

How funny! Wilbur & Char keep one eye open too when there is food around. :)
