I woke to find 4 sets of eyes staring at me.
It was late afternoon of an emotionally grueling week. Lack of sleep and exhausted I came home and fell asleep in my chair. I woke up about an hour later 6:30pm to 4 sets of eyes staring. The eyes belonged to my dogs and 6:30 is supper time.
Lady our chocolate lab is diabetic. So mealtime for the dogs is regimented. They know how to tell time even when I have lapses.
The alarm goes off at 5:30 am unless they decide they want out earlier. One or the other will come in and nudge me. Max will lick my hand until I respond. All of them if they are not quickly successful will put their head under the covers and prod me with their cold nose.
Occasionally they will allow me to sleep in like this morning. My phone had died so the 5:30 alarm didn't go off. My husband woke just before 6:30. None of the dogs had stirred - we all over slept. And my day has been out of sync.
