Hello everydoggy,
My name is Canaille. I am an English Springer Spaniel and Perky, this blog's owner, is my Mum.
I don't kow about you, but snuggling down in a comfy bed for a good night sleep is one of my favourite activities.

| NEVER WITHOUT MY SWEET TEDDY BEAR |
Unfortunately my bodyclock gives me chronic insomnia. I mean whatever the time I have dinner, the rumblings of my belly wake me up in the early hours of dawn and then no way to get back to sleep!
What can I do?
Paw up and down the kitchen? Absolutely silly! Everydoggy knows that exercising leaves you peckish, so no need to make me hungrier than I am!
Practise some counter surfing? Even though it is one of my hobbies, it is not worth thinking about it,cause before going to bed Mum stores any leftovers in the fridge!
What else then?
Well, actually the only solution is to wake up my favourite breakfast maker, aka Mummy.
But if I don't want to get a tongue-lashing, I have to pretend I haven't done it on purpose. You see, at the crack of dawn Mum is still sound asleep and she could be grumpy if I started barking " Wakie, wakie, time to wake up ".
So, today at 5am I had such a hollow feeling in my stomach that I decided to lean against Mum's bedroom door and scratch my ears. No pawing at the door, no barking, just an innocent dog cleaning his ears against the door!
You know the song by Bob Dylan " Kockin' on Heaven's Door "?
Well, nothing of the kind for me!
It was rather like " Highway to Hell " by AC/DC!
Mum stormed out of her bedroom and told me off.
Yes, guys, she called me names, and , believe me, not sweet ones :
" A stomach on legs ", " A glutton ", " A foodaholic " and so on…
But if words are wasted on a starving man, they are wasted on a starving dog, as well, and tomorrow I am determined to use the " ear scratching against the door " trick to wake my breakfast maker up, cause the early bird catches the worm and the early soul catches the bowl ( that's a saying I have just made up).
Now it is time for me to have a good nap. I'll be back on line soon. In the meantime have a fantastic week whatever you have planned.
