Rock on and nap on.


January 3.  According to the Crazy Calendar, today is “Women Rock Day.”  I initially thought it had something to do with rocking chairs – but Frodo pointed out the fact that it has to do with women being cool.  And powerful.  And THAT I get.  I mean - my poor human is outnumbered by the three canine males in this household.  She has to contend with us leaving the toilet seat up.  Just kidding.  She WISHES we used the toilet.  But she puts up with us, manages to keep a roof over our heads and food in our bowls (more WOULD be nice, though) and she plays with us and keeps us safe.  She definitely IS the Top Dog in THIS house. She rocks.

But THE coolest woman who rocks is my human’s mother.  She is going home today after spending over a week with us here in the boonies.  She really DOES rock.  I mean, she’s 86 years old and the first thing she asked when she arrived was how to log onto our wifi.  Seriously.  She had to check her email.  And Facebook.

She was extremely generous with her banana distribution.  And despite the fact that she continually called me “Cocoa,” and she is very fair in doling out treats– I really DO believe I am her favorite.  Even when I tried to steal her toast when she wasn’t watching.  And she has to hold onto the napkin she has on her lap during mealtime – because she KNOWS I will steal it.  She knows me pretty well – and can predict what I will do.  Although she WAS puzzled with my post snow-drop-and-roll zoomies the other night!  But she puts up with us - and IS very cool.  So I think she REALLY is THE rockingest woman. 

According to the Crazy Calendar, today is ALSO “Festival of Sleep Day”.  It’s a day after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays to relax and have a snooze.  My human is a bit concerned because after the first few days of her vacation, we canines started letting her SLEEP IN.  Until like 7:30!!!!!!!!!! And truthfully, I am beginning to think that I am not REALLY a morning person.  Certainly when I am SURE my human is getting up, I’m all waggy-tailed – but I also DO enjoy sleeping in.  I like to hide at the head of the bed – just under the headboard.  It’s a bit like doing the limbo to get under there – but I really like it.  In fact, I have obviously shown how much I like it – so that FRODO has decided to try my spot too!  Paxton can’t.  Not without moving the entire bed. 

So my message today is for all Rocking Women – we want you to know we appreciate you!  Today you should take a break from all the world-changing, amazing things you do – and take a nap.  You deserve it! I MAY even let MY human take a nap.  After a game of fetch!  Have a grrrrrreat day!
