Waking in the morning
Asking how am I today
If the answers rubbish
In bed I rather stay
But I have a dog to think of
To the toilet she must go
So up I get to let her out
Some decidedness to show
Having had some breakfast
And a cup of tea
I begin to wonder
Where she now could be
I thought I saw her pass me
As in the house she fled
The cheeky little blighter
Had gone back up to bed.
What a lovely photo don, jane
What a sweet photo of lovely Midge. She’s so tired bless her.
Take care Don. Xxxxx
Beautiful Midge, That is where My Princess prefers to be, under the Duvet. xxx
That's where I'll be finding Midge when the cold weather comes. Currently she sleeps down stairs (I think my raucous coughing and frequent bathroom visits wore her down) and she comes to wake me at 6.30 prompt.
Lol 🐶🐶😀😀 lovely Midge looks so comfy x
Hope it wasnt raining and muddy Don like its been here......... on your lovely white bedding!😣😊
Looks super cozy and comfy there lovely pic💕
Mud hasn't been invented around here, Kitty, my house was built on sand which is bad for gardening but good for keeping things clean. I usually remember to close the bedroom door but its no no big problem if I forget. I'm also lucky in having a dog friendly cleaning lady looking after the laundry. 😁
Haha no trouble like that my parrot, just wants to play but there is the trays of the cage to clean out, fortunately her dodo's do not smell but can be rather dusty, so the daily rag is invaluable to collect it even though rather damp after a spray. No mud but there can be splintered chicken bones, less the marrow, which she scoops out first. A bl***y carnivore and she enjoys a little fish and hard cheese too. Where would we be without our pets?
Where indeed!🤔 Midge knows our routine better than I do, or at least remembers it better. If I do something out of sequence she sits and stares at me until I go back and do it right. My memory is deteriorating at an alarming rate and that aspect of her behaviour is becoming more and more useful to me. Added to that she is my ears when I take my hearing aids out.
Good afternoon Mr.D and firstly I have to apologise for being a day late in replying😕.
I'm siding with you and the fact that our pets can remember what we should/were doing and also being so protective is a huge comfort to us,I'd think you'd agree? Brain fog ,memory loss it's happening and I don't like it one little bit. So our Hazel is such a good girl and gives me a deep rumbling growl when I need to take my pills at night time. She learnt it by herself,just so clever and to think she had the most dire start in life one could only imagine!🐶.
Your Midge is such a 🌟 and she's just as popular as her master!!💖
Lovely photo! Could be a John Lewis ad! 🙈
You always make me laugh Don so here's a hug and a smacker on the cheek 😘.
Your wee dog looks so cute and comfy snuggled in your bed 😀
Like the others Don your posts put a smile on my face. Lovely photo of Midge in a beautiful white bed. We have a Jack Russell called Rosie who really bosses us about, they do love routine and are very intelligent 🐕. Keep as well as you can and carry on with your great poems. Hugs Carole xx
Well, you could join her?
I'd rather teach her to let herself out, make the breakfasts and bring mine up to me. But there are problems! 😦
You always bring a smile to my lips, Don! xx Moy
She is so beautiful, how wonderful to have such a lovely best friend❤️
Thank you, I do appreciate her, she has become more like a carer in many respects. 😉
Oh love her, so cosy 🐶🐶🐶
Our dog Bella is the same as Midge, loves our bed. The only thing is that she is a lot bigger and seems to take up most of the bed.
Aww midge knows where’s best to best. X
That was awesome and so cute
Any room for me? Shift up midge x
I'm not sure that Midge shifting up would leave enough room, Dilly, but if you are volunteering to take over the getting up early, letting dog out and making breakfast, I'm sure some arrangements could be made. 😊
I despair of keeping our beds clean with Finlay & Lady. she can dive up onto the bed but Finlay can't manage it now. He's turning into a proper wee grumpy old man, He always barked at animals on the TV and it was funny when this tiny wee cavy flew at it but now he can spot an animal in the back of a scene which we don't even notice. He has also begun to take against men with beards, goodness knows what he thinks they have in the beards!! I get mad if the dogs get on my sheets it's bad enough that they mess the duvet cover or comforter but I can't stand dirty sheets. I love the pic of Midge he looks very comfortable xx
I've got one like that- badger- hoho. He so loves the bed!
Ha I’ve experienced that with my dogs too. Selfish or clever ?
I love Midge. She's so, so adorable. xx 💓
I expect like Chom, she can be a little so and so at times. 😁xx
Oh Don I wish i had a Midge!
I'm afraid you would have to take me was well. 😂
Hi Don, good bit of poetry! that should help to cheer you up.
Yes I’m cheered up right enough. 😉
No vote for Midge.
