zzzzzzzzzz

My mom and nanna need sleep. I have my days and nights mixed up!! For 4 nights I get up around 2 am and start to whine and growl and dig in my crate. Then I start to bark!!! And I bark, and I bark. Mom is baffled. Doesn't know what has brought this on. Nothing worked to calm me down so we made a trip to the Vet last night and mom had to resort to getting me a sleeping pill of sorts. Mom and nanna are not feeling well due to lack of sleep and mom's worried security will show up at her door at 4 am with complaints about my barking.

Last night I got my first 1/2 pill. Wow.... talk about a knock out punch..... lol I didn't wake up until 5 am for a peepee and then when I went into my crate after I started to growl again, and whine a bit but in a couple of minutes I nodded off again. No barking. Mom and nanna are relieved and got some sleep last night although neither one got too much because they were concerned about the pill. Now they know I'm fine with it and it doesn't hurt me they can get more sleep tonight. :-) They got enough pills for a week so I can get back on track and my days and nights back the way they should be.

They have me out for lots of exercise too. I had a great time out running and running today. Last night I was walked (and I ran too) for a few hours!! It was a lot of fun.

Last night Mom and Nanna discovered something weird about me that they never noticed before. I won't walk on anything metal!!! We were going over the bridge and there were metal plates about a foot wide and I jumped over every single one!! Even the sewer plates, the little ones for gas, etc., as long as it was metal I jumped over it except for the manhole covers which I went around cause they were too big for me to jump over. None of these were grates with holes, all were solid, but I would jump over every one of them. I refuse to walk on them. Mom says I'm strange.

Tomorrow if mom has time we are going to go meet a new groomer. This place is much closer to us. Only down the street so mom wants to go over and introduce me and see if I take well to the lady there. I hope so, I need a good bath and clipping. With all this running around lately my little feet are getting dirty.
