a dog and his needs

the basics, yes, but it's the timing that brings me here with a missed rem sleep headache... it's not the dog's fault that an overdose of chocolate and milk has me head slightly sugar and dairy hungover and the cure is a couple of solid rem sleep cycles, like a nice 8 hours sleep, but happiness needed out this morning and that is why i sleep in the living room when jackson is away so he can let me know rather than have an accident... trouble is there were two neighbors being friendly so we were outside way longer than i intended and then he pulled himself off the leash to stay out longer and getting him to come in woke me even more and then he needed feeding and then he will stare begging to go out again cuz he is a dog and dogs have short digestive tracts and he tends to eat so fast lately he is obviously uncomfortable right after he eats (all these changes in behavior we attribute to his aging processes) so here i sit way more awake than i want to be with a headache and hopefully i will fall back to sleep for another 4 hour cycle before the headache gets bad enough so that it will keep me awake by itself and we are almost there... i do not need a bad head day what with the party tonight and the car on iffy terms with running reliably... alas, a dog is a relatively full time job that does not allow sleep on my circadian rhythms or rest when i want to or any sort of actual vacation where you just sleep when sleep comes... as if that is news... but it is when the brain is shut down cuz of a sugar dairy headache that partially comes from overactive synapses... everything is out there somewhere in the fog... shhhh, close the eyes and try to slow the synapses down... ftzftz, narf...

anyway, i love the dog, needs and all... and i hope you remember i am updating (and check on it) and also wish this for you (so much) and i really do wonder how you felt about all of the entries uploaded the night before linked in this entry or something like that... so many visits, so little feedback, so how about it... share, aye?...

good morning... nite nite (i hope :}
