Monkey's World

A day in the life

I usually wake up around 6.30 when mom and dad's bloody alarm goes off. I go outside to take a wee and then run back inside to burrow under the covers and go back to sleep for a while. When I finally hear mom and dad talking to each other, I burrow back out and give them heaps and heaps of kisses and snuggle in right between them and wait for my morning raspberries. Daddy gives the best ones with his fussy face on my belly, I give his whole face a lick when they are really good. I like to snuggle with momma best and she pets me and scratches my back legs. It feels nice and I stretch them out really far so she doesn't miss a spot.

I can tell when mom and dad are leaving and just hope to hear them tell me 'in the car'. That means I get to go with them to wherever they are going for the day. Just to give them a hint, I go outside and look at my harness and lead for a while, just in case they forgot where it was. Otherwise I sit at home and have to play with my toys and chase birdies and cats out of the yard until mom and dad come home from Uni. I always run to give momma kisses first... then I go to jump on daddy and run to get my ball. After a little play, we all go inside for dinner and watch a little TV. Sometimes I'm not done playing, and get my red bone that Auntie Jenny gave me, or my sock and want to play tug-of-war for a while. After I finally eat my din-dins, I let out a big burpy and go to lay down on the couch for a bit of a kip. Then it's usually bedtime and I get goodnight pets and kisses from mom and dad and either go in my special doggie bed or jump onto the end of the bed on momma's side (daddy takes up too much room).
