The image below is super grainy and fuzzy and way too dark. Reason being, it was 6:50 this morning! I barely had my eyes open, and the sun is no longer all the way up at that time.
However, this is the first thing I see every single morning when I open my eyes:
I snagged my phone this morning without opening my eyes all the way to catch him in the act. The best part? As soon as my eyelids start to flutter, my darling Lucas wags his tail, thumping it against my nightstand until I swing my legs out of bed! I can’t help but wake up with a grin! Because, oh, how I love how happy he is to see me first thing in the morning.
The last couple weeks have been incredibly stressful for me. My work days have been longer with more errands and chores and obligations piling on top of each other. My nights have been later and my mornings have been earlier.
And yet, here’s Lucas. Same time. Every morning. Happy that a new day has begun!
Once again, I think my dogs might be trying to teach me *yet another* lesson…

08•24•10 at 11:03 amTHE BEST way to start the day! Love it.
My dog does this too! Then she jumps up on the bed to wake me up. And if I yawn, which I always do because I always forget, watch out. As much as I love her…I don’t especially appreciate the doggy french kiss.

09•17•10 at 2:02 amIt is a great way to wake up. Every day Jenks puts his head on the pillow next to mine, and the whole body wags as soon as I open my eyes. He crawls into bed next to me and I snuggle up to a warm ball of soft fur…..WAY better than an alarm clock!!

10•13•12 at 3:40 pmI love when my dog, Tater (yes, Tater as in Tater Tot the food) waits for me to lay down on the couch with him! The second I fall for his trap, his head goes on my shoulder and he puts his paw on my chest. And then he pushes me off the couch so that he can have the couch to himself. He’s crazy, but I love him. 🙂
