(On any day She Who Must Be Obeyed is working from home)

06.30 Rudely awakened and shoved outside into the cold

06.35 Feeding time. Chew each bite 100 times to drag out the process as long as possible.

07.00 Find Nugget on bed, hump him mercilessly until he moves.

07.02 Nap.

07.46 Move to couch.

07.49 Nap.

09.22 Turn over.

10.16 Lift head to watch She Who Must Be Obeyed head into kitchen.

10.18 Sniff air excitedly in case there's food being prepared.

10.20 Decide it's only coffee being made, fall back asleep.

11.51 Stand up on couch, turn around several times, dig a little bit to make cushion more comfortable, get yelled at for digging, flop down and go back to sleep.

12.45 Follow She Who Must Be Obeyed into the kitchen to see what's on for lunch.

12.50 Try desperately to trip She Who Must Be Obeyed while she's carrying food.

12.52 Sit at She Who Must Be Obeyed's feet whining and dribbling drool between her toes.

13.06 Give up on food, lay down on rug. Nap.

14.18 Jump up on couch, push Nugget off couch. Sleep.

15.23 Sit in front of She Who Must Be Obeyed waggling in the hopes of getting a scritch on the head.

15.26 Roll over for belly rub.

15.31 Lose interest when She Who Must Be Obeyed gets back to work. Go to get drink of water. Head outside to relieve self, check out what's going on with the neighbours.

15.40 Crawl onto bed. Afternoon snooze.

16.51 Grumble at Nugget who has decided to start barking non-stop at absolutely nothing.

16.52 Decide Nugget's barking can be slept through. Go back to sleep.

18.10 Wake up when He Who Doesn't Have To Be Obeyed comes home. Sniff him to see if any food was brought in.

18.35 Dinner time. Drive He Who Doesn't Have To Be Obeyed insane until he puts out dinner.

19.00 Walkies! While out: practice drool-flinging at the neighbours. Desperately pull on leash in order to piddle on nearest person's shoes.

20.00 Jump up on couch onto He Who Doesn't Have To Be Obeyed's lap. Snooze contentedly.

-- no recollection of anything between 20.00 and 23.00 --

23.00 Bed time. Refuse to get off couch until offered a doggie-Oreo or a liver treat.

23.05 Head in to bed. Sleep. Dream of chasing bunnies.
