Sleep!

The funny thing is that this is a typical morning for me when my little girl gets into the bed.

Like the pup, she is a compulsive wriggler and loves to play as soon as she gets up.

And, like the kitten, I just want to sleep. So she flips around and kicks and pushes and rolls, and I growl "Damn it, either go the hell to sleep or go back in your bed!"

But at least I don't bite. Not hard, anyway.

The turnabout is that with a lover I'm the puppy; I enjoy a kiss and cuddle - or more, if there's the chance - in the first hour of the morning. And almost without exception my beloveds have been lovers of sleep, not lovemaking, in the small hours. Mojo, especially, loves her morning slumber; her reaction is along the lines of what you'd expect from a grizzly disturbed in mid-January.

Anyway, I just enjoyed inventing the dialogue for this filmclip:

SPARKY: Ooh! Ooh! C'mon, Puff, let's play!

PUFF: Wha...the fuck? Are you nuts? G'wan. Knock it off.

SPARKY: Awww...c'mon, l'il buddy! Play! Play!

PUFF: Faaaa...leave me alone, you idiot.

SPARKY: C'mon, let's play! I'll let you chase me! Oooooh, let's wiggle!

PUFF: I'll wiggle your ass. Go the fuck back to sleep.

SPARKY: Ooooh! Gotcha!

PUFF: Okay, biting you now. Sleep! Why can't you fucking sleep!?
