(circa 6am)
Zoe- random chatty sounds interspersed with little baby awoo woos
Me, sitting up- I think we’re gonna have to feed them before everyone settles down
Mouse, upon hearing a word that even remotely sounds like ‘food’- bounces on the bed and begins throwing paws like Mike Tyson
Rick, sighing a mighty sigh- I think you’re right
Rick, sterling hero of the hour, rises and pads off down the hallway to feed the pups. Cue random banging noises, happy pup yips, and an extended period of time before the hero returns. I, not being a completely heinous hag, order breakfast.
Breakfast arrives, various snuggles with pups and trying to find warm spots in bed and failing, I finally get up and take a shower.
It’s perfectly, wonderfully, amazingly lava like, which I comment on to Rick as he’s going for his turn.
Me, peeking in as our hero, once again, seems to be taking an abnormally long time- it’s great isn’t it?
Rick- I’ve figured out your little scheme here.
Me, truly innocent- Oh? What’s that?
Rick- you forgot to take out the frozen food for the pups, so I had to run a bunch of hot water to thaw them. Half an hour later, plenty of lava water for the shower!
Me, jaw dropped- OMFG, I wish I was that smart… cause that’s fuckin brilliant!
Rick got his back though… I left the closet door open and Mouse stole an article of my clothing (pretty sure it was mine since it was bright purple) and booked it out the pup door. I guess I’ll find out what it was come spring.
^Look, a Mouse.
