11. We live our lives for our pets.

Dog is too old to get on the bed with me.
So at night she wanders about looking for somewhere to sleep.

So I pick her up, all 35 Kg, and put her on the bed with me.
Asleep within minutes.
I need to be awake in the morning before she wakes and needs to go outside for the backyard toilet and her breakfast.
She needs to be lifted off the bed.

But a big break in this routine this morning!
Opened my eyes, to be face to face with a very smug cat. Our ginger cat.
The cat, being majorly an outside shadow, hasn't done that for many months.

A good start to my day!

Yes, the dog and cat dictate the routine around here. I'm just their servant.
