Author: Peanut has been a pill most of the day today. We went for our first walk at 6:30 AM this morning as normal and had coffee with mother as we do most everyday. Peanut sleeps (most of the time) on the foot of my bed on his own sheet all crumpled up in front of our fan but last night he was all over the bed. Most of the time Peanut was sleeping near the end of the bed laying horizontal in the middle of the bed so it was hard for me to put my feet one side or the other with out kicking the dear little boy. He is a living alarm clock. As soon as the clock hits 6:00 AM he is working on me to get up by “nosing me” and when I pretend that that I am still asleep he move up to my pillows above my head and looks for an opportunity to try to lick or nose me awake. I used to be a very grumpy person in the morning but each and every morning I wakeup with a smile with my little alarm clock Peanut.
Anyway back to the story. After we walked back to our house from mother’s place I started breakfast as I always do. We had eggs and sausage. He loves sitting next to me while I eat and reminds me that I should give him some. I always do after I eat. He then wanted to go for a 2nd walk and we did but it was only a short one for it looked like it would rain. About an hour later after playing for a few rounds of tug and pull and keep away with his rope and the his stuffed doggy toy he was back licking my arm wanting to go for a third walk. Well I took him to the front window and should Peanut that it was raining and I told him that he would not like it walking in the rain. A few minutes later, while I was working, Peanut came back in to my office and set down between my legs looking up at me. I started to tell him, “NO, we will not go for a WALK again”! But as soon as I looked at him I saw that he had brought me a bribe. In Peanut’s mouth was the half eaten rawhide bone that I had given him earlier this morning. I had to smile. He jumped up on my lap and then dropped his one thing that he owned just to get me go one more time for a walk.
You guessed it, we went for a walk and it was in the rain. Actually it was kind of nice and we both got a rain bath today.
