OMG - Samson has been a perfect horror this morning - he woke up at 4 AM and started his normal crying, I took him outside and he was totally full of energy and "Marmaduke-bounce" - went back to bed and he was having none of that - he wanted to be up and so should everyone else around him! Tried letting him meander the bedroom - nah, daddy ended getting up - he was barreling all over the house, digging in the backyard, found a stick and ran around with it, didn't want to come inside - jumped on the AC unit - and was having all kinds of fun - daddy went to work so he was back in the bedroom, not crated this time, he woke me up at 7, 8 & 9 AM - I got up when I couldn't stand it any longer...there was stuff ALL over the floor - he'd found a pack of socks and spread them everywhere - I didn't find any holes in the socks, I'm hoping he only ate the packaging :) and now...he's sleeping right next to the chair. I'm exhausted & he's pretending to be an angel...

The fall-out from having Samson - Bandit has all of a sudden become the mature adult dog I knew he had in him, JB, my oldest kitty has decided he needs to be a total PIA and demands even more attention than ever - he refuses to use the water bowls now (can't say I blame him) so he has to have his own cup with filtered water and ice & literally screams at me if it's not refreshed every few hours...he also just discovered the faucet - so I'll fix his demanding little butt, I'm getting them a pet water fountain! Just got a 25% in-store cupon from Petco - Gramma will also send gift-cards for the kids Oh, and did I mention I have more work than ever...
