Dog On the Head

A good night's sleep hasn't been happening for a few weeks. The number one reason is my pleurisy. Painful breathing is not compatible with sleeping. The number two reason is getting up at least once but sometimes three times to pee. That will keep you awake. But on two separate occasions "dog on the head" has woke me up. You say, "What is "dog on the head'? I say, " You wake from a sound sleep with a dog on your head". The dog in question is Zeus. He is terrified of thunderstorms. He paces and moans. Then he plasters himself to your side until the storm subsides. Unfortunately for him and me both, we have had some mean storms in the middle of the night. The first time it happened I woke up with his rear sitting on my face. A border collie/german shepherd fuzzy, fluffy rear end with lots of fur to land in your mouth. After swatting Zeus off and removing all the fur from my face and mouth, I put him back on the floor where he belonged. Two nights ago I woke up with him curled around the top of my head. His big plume of a tail fanned across my face. This time it took longer to get him to the floor. The storm was bad and he had a comfy spot. Yeah, waking up to "dog on the head" is a definite sleep buster.
