Her ears don't really cooperate.
Every morning, after my shower, I crack open the bathroom door just enough that I don't wake husband up. And every morning, as soon as the door opens, puppy's head snaps to attention from her sleepy post at the foot of the bed and she tumbles ungracefully into the bathroom. She watches me, she begs for attention, and she yawns very dramatically.
Every morning I make me way from the brightness of the bathroom, through the pitch black of the bedroom, and into the kitchen for my coffee. I used to be able to make that trek silently like a panther, but now I stumble over puppy who blends into the darkness like a shadow.
When I let her outside to go potty she is eager to come back inside when she's finished (every other time it's a battle to get her to come inside, she would be happier just sitting on the porch, then yips and cries when we finally grab her and pull her back inside).
Every morning I sneak back into the sleepy darkness of the bedroom to give husband a goodbye kiss. Now I tuck puppy back into bed as a say goodbye and she falls blissfully back to sleep.
Dog, on the other hand, never wakes up once.
