Breaking the rules....

Day One: Dog Log

Rule #1. You should never babysit for dogs that belong to people that are conscious any time earlier than 9 a.m. (Yup... broken)

Rule #2. Puppies are "Happy Dogs". This means that they want everything around them to be happy. Even if this means waking at 5 a.m. 5 A.M.!!!!!!!! That's insane!!!!!! NEVER EVER TAKE CARE OF "Happy Dogs"!!! (Yup... broken)

Rule #3. There's not enough coffee in the world when you have "Happy Dogs" (True)

Rule #4. Go to bed earlier to prevent "Happy Dog Syndrome" causing you bodily injury. (Yup... broken... again.. as I'm posting at 12:45 a.m. I'll leave you to do the math)

Rule at the end of the day.......

Convince yourself that those sweet brown eyes and those furry faces and the pure joy you feel is only temporary, and keep reminding yourself that Ludie will not like a Happy Dog in his house.

Addendum to the rule #3:

Remember to ensure the available coffee is fully leaded. (One reason #3 seemed especially difficult yesterday.)

Addendum to 1st addendum to rule #3:

Doubling the amount of 50/50 coffee to twice as much with the same amount of water does not help obtain a "closer to being conscious" state. It just makes your eyes water then bulge out of your head.
