Of Canines and Reluctance
Beams of light break through the blinds, dancing across my face, beckoning me to awake. It's a Sunday in June, but I don't go to church anymore so there's no need for me to get up this early. I am afraid to even get out of bed, knowing if my dog hears the slightest step, he won't stop whining until I come downstairs. Is it wrong to leave him alone so I can sleep a little while longer, though I know he's bored? Guilt pushes me down the stairs, only to find his puddle of urine. I should have slept longer.

Loved your words! This is my life every morning, but I never awake to the puddle of urine thank goodness. The whining always gets me out of bed at 5:30 am. Except on the weekends when doglet lets me sleep in until 6am. How very kind of her.
