positive pointing #68: a show starring eric, oliver & lucy.

puppies trying desperately to catch a snooze


eric at his homework-doin, dog-duty station.

eric's solution for a quieter morning: don't let the dogs falls asleep all day so they'll sleep longer tomorrow and we can wake up by alarms insteads of barking and whining. a good solution that becomes funny when practiced:

"kyrie, throw the toy. throw it again. kyrie! they're laying down. throw the toy!!!" she's falling asleep! don't let her fall asleep! oliver, wake up! oliver!! wake up!! lucy's falling alseep. push her over!! lucy! get your toy! go get it!!" accompanied by lots and lots of clapping and snapping and occasional attempts to make dog sounds in an effort to "talk" to them and say things like "hey stay awake. hey, staying awake is fun. hey, i'm awake. you should be awake too! staying awake is the best." i'm sure he's speaking flawless, fluent dog and communicating seamlessly.

and when such words fail, he keeps saying "go crazsy, go crazsy, go crazsy" over and over in this quick crazed hushed tone that makes them go all bonkers and wierd.

is it really all worth the 30 minutes of sleep? probably not.
is it worth the hours of entertainment i'm recieving AND being made to participate in? YES.

baby, it's a lost cause.

i wuv doggies!! as i type rhino is growling at a new interactive food dispensing toy i bought him... he's knows there's food inside but he's got to bite it and play w/ it in order for it to come out but right now he's just growling at it and pawing it and then jumping back like he's saying... "I swear if you don't give me that food I'm gonna kill you toy!"
