Let Sleepin' Dogs Lie?...maybe not.......

Mom so wants to wake Lexie up from her nappin' w/dad in the bedroom. She reallllly does.
Lexie's sleepin' like a log......lookin' all sweet an' innocent. Mom's not feelin' it....




It all started w/the midnite game of ignorin' mom an' not wantin' to come inside. Then when mom got us all asleep..even her....me an' mom were woken up by that banshee howlin' of Lexie. Of course, Lexie didn't even wake up as mom an' I stood over her....she just snuggled down in her bed, smackin' her lips an' sleepin'.

Mom an' I went back to bed. 


Then at 2 am....Lexie's at the back door barkin' her head off....mom had to get up to tell her to knock it off an' go back to bed. Mom went back to bed...again...an' I went up to my tower for some peace an' quiet...an' some sleep. 


4:30 am.....the same thin'....mom gets up, turns on the lite in the livin' room. Lexie looks at her...an' mom yells, "NO!!"...turns off the
 lite an' goes back to bed. I think Lexie was startled...'cause it worked....she went back an' laid down.

Right at dawn....Lexie starts barkin' at the back door, again. Mom tries to just ignore...her...but Lexie wasn't havin' it. 

Lexie comes into mom's bedroom an' goes up to the side of mom....an' lets out a demandin' bark...right at mom. That was a lil' hard to ignore.....then Lexie goes to the doorway...an' barks some more...then heads to the back door.


Now, mom's thinkin' that maybe....Lexie really needs to go out an' gets up....an' lets her out.
Now....Lexie runnnns out. Mom stands at the door an' watches her......
Is it a potty break? Nooooo!


Lexie puts her nose to the ground an' is goin' helter skelter across the patio, the deck, the yard...by the pond....behind the arbor...down by the greenhouse......as fast as she can......as if she's trackin' somethin'.....


Then......she just comes right back to mom an' goes back in the house an' lays down...all satisfied an' happy like.


Mom's left standin' at the door in her jammies, at dawn....totally dumbfounded, thinkin'...."what was that all about?". It's not like Lexie heard somethin' outside thru the backdoor....she's always puttin' her nose against that crack in the door an' snortin'....but what could she have smelled that got her all up in paws to need to go out after somethin'?
Don't know, don't really care......whatever it was, it's gone, I got a good nite's sleep.......& Lexie's gettin' a good nap, so she'll be fresh for later. Mom...ehhh....maybe not....but who knows what tonite will bring.....
