My alarm started
ringing as programmed, it's very accurate!, the funny thing is that mom’s alarm
sometimes does not work, so I make sure that she knows what time it is. I stared
her for a moment, if I don’t see signs
of life from her, I put my nose on her face and if she pretend to ignore me I give
her my paw, so she can wake up completely. I was assigned to this mission since
Bubu sleeps in her own bedroom.
Dad usually gets up early, and wake up mom with a kiss when He is ready to go to work, but not even him was moving today. When I began to move mom, he got up and looked at me, and I felt some frustration, but he only got up to the bathroom and got back to bed and snuggled ...
Mom moved
just a little when I gave her a kiss, just the same way daddy say good morning at her every day, but she said: Champy, today is Saturday!.
Saturday?,
what does that mean?, that doesn’t exist for dogs!, I read that in a book about
canine cognition, written by an expert, and You said the key word mom, TODAY, we
don’t have days, but we have a very good internal clock, so we can know very
accurate when is lunchtime, walking time and bedtime. That’s why is so
important to comply with our habits, that keep us calm and keep away the anxiety.
I will make
a note to our afternoon session: I must explaining mom the concept of time in
dogs...
I had to
do a little bit more pressure on her, since mom seemed still a bulge on the bed:
let’s go mom, our boss is going to fire us if we do not complete
our mission!.
Mom
started moving, with reluctance.
Come on mom,
you can sleep after breakfast!, let's go,
is time to walk!.
I think
that mom heard me clearly because she said:
it is not fair Champy, Bubu and you sleep after breakfast, but I don't have
that privilege!.
What is
wrong with you mom?, don’t you sleep
after breakfast?, are you sick?. Dogs sleep at regular intervals during the
day, that’s the reason we are so happy!. Mommy, you're the expert in
neurocognition!, your articles say that sleeping is good for the brain. Don’t
tell me you don’t sleep after breakfast!.
Look, I'll
add that topic for our afternoon discussion, but now, you must get up!.
Mama got
up with reluctance and while she did it, I continued my dissertation:
When have
you heard a dog saying: I don't want to walk today, it's Saturday?, it is true that we
sometimes refuse, but it has nothing to do with the day of the week, but with
the weather, I mean, who wants to be outside if is snowing, raining or if the
floor is wet?
For dogs the
only day is today, today is the most important day of our lives, that’s why we
eat as if we had never done it, go out to walk and smell as if we had never
been there.
When we
went to pick up Bubu, she was already awake and congratulated me for making
everything possible so our Mission of the day could be done on time.
While we
were walking, mom looked much better, so we are happy to make her life more
pleasant, even if she stayed awake until 2 am last night…
