My dog has a built in alarm clock. At any given time he will jump up on my lap to let me know he is hungry. He always seems to do it when my eyes are half closed. I've learned how to protect my privates when he does, I put a pillow on my lap. Many times my head almost hit the ceiling...lol There's an old Chinese saying "One who wears pillow on lap - out smart dog"

cute one and I liked the double meaning word title. (if the dog is named RUFF!)

I was not sure if this is a cat call or a dog call, but I recognized it as possibly one or both.
