4-Legged Roosters

I have no idea whats going on lately.
We are woken up every morning.
Yes, every morning BEFORE the alarm goes off at 5am.
By two dogs who are hungry.
Yes, HUNGRY.

This morning they woke us up at 3:30am.

I heard the clicking of their nails on the hard wood floor next to the bed.
The nails on their PRANCING feet.
Which went from "click, click, click, click" to "CLICKCKICKCLICKCLICK" as soon as they saw that I was awake. They worked themseleves into frenzy.
A "SHE'S AWAKE! SHE WILL FEED US! WE WANT FOOD!" kinda frenzy.

When they realized that, no, I wasn't getting up, Rocco went into the kitchen and started to nudge his empty bowl, LOUDLY, trying to let me know that his bowl was empty and he was hungry.
At 3:30am this morning.
Then he stood there staring at the empty bowl, WILLING it to be filled with food.

Um, did I mention that it was 3:30am this morning?



At least Rocco and Molly were working as a team.
I just wish their teamwork started at a reasonable hour.
