Sir, Once Again from the Top

I think animals are absolutely hilarious! My sister had a dog that slept beneath my daughter’s crib, when she was a baby. The dog would sniff at her, move if she moved…it was like my child belonged to the dog.

One day, I was asleep and I feel this warmth next to my face. WTF is it? It’s the dog. He waits until I fall back asleep and then barks extra loud in my ear. Then, he goes over to sniff at the baby. This happens for about 30 seconds before I get out of bed. I go check-she’s cooing in her crib. I feel her diaper. It’s warm.

The dog was trying to tell me she peed.

I wanted to strangle the dog.

So, I love collecting pictures of animals that think they are human. Not only is it hilarious, but it makes a great writing prompt if you are having a writer’s block.

Let’s imagine what this conversation sounds like and happy writing!

Calm down and start again from the top. Who did what to you, my friend?
