So I am sitting here and I feel like I have been run over by a bus, picked up, whacked over the head with a bat and tossed down some steps.
I got NO sleep last night....at all.
Penny is our almost 7 year old Cocker Spaniel and she was up all night. I think she was suffering from either insomnia or an upset tummy. I got up with her so that she wouldn't keep Jamey up. She would run from one room to another and with our wood floors and her nails it makes a mind numbing, unbelievably load click click click sound...it is annoying in the middle of the day..imagine ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! She would then jump into the recliner stay for two seconds, jump down with a huge kaboomp, jump on the loveseat stay for maybe a minute, jump down with another huge kaboomp and then jump up on the couch with me literally stand on me or walk across me pulling my hair in the process and then jump down again....this went on for hours!!!! Nothing helped, giving her fresh water, taking her out 10 times, trying to sooth her just seemed to tick her off.
How in the world am I going to make it through the day. Luckily my mom and little brother are coming over today to play with the kids. Maybe the abnormal routine will help keep me awake....lets hope....as of right now I am about to fall over. Don't worry about Penny she is snoozing away as we speak...I can tell she is getting her best sleep too because she is splatted out on the floor with her back legs completely streched out behind her....rotten dog!!!! She will get her payback today when the kids chase her around all day.
Duuuude. I have a hard enough time dealing with my own offspring when they don't sleep, I don't think I could deal with a doggie who kept me up at night! Some people are just MADE to be pet owners and unfortunately I am not one of them. I hope Penny sleeps better tonight and that you get to turn in early and catch up on your sleep!
ReplyDeleteCan dogs take Benadryl? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't sleep, she wouldn't sleep either! That dog would be awake as we speak :-) I'm like April, I don't think I am meant to be a pet person either.
