Life of Dogs

Coffee cake and ice cream: great way to start your day. Coffee, cake, and ice cream: an even better way. A comma for some coffee and icing on your cake - A punctuated morning with dogs whose collars shake. I would have much preferred if the dogs had slept past four. Six would have been luxurious; it’s hard to ask for more. But four just frankly frustrates; it seems a tad unfair. For they will lie and sleep all day without the slightest care. Meanwhile, I will be crashing, come off that sugar high. The struggle’s real to stay awake; I may not even try. Such is the life of dogs, retired people too. With coffee, cake, and ice cream we’ll somehow make it through.
