5:24am - Debate working out. *groan again*
5:31am - Get up to pee and trip over laundry basket. Curse loudly.
5:32am - Put laundry away and move effing basket off floor.
5:45am - Turn on tv and put on running clothes.
5:50am - Weatherman says it's currently 42 degrees outside. Decide it's warm enough to take Barley for a run outside. Ask him is he wants to go to the park and watch as he goes nuts and heads for the door.
6am - Grab leash, poop bags and spare key and proceed to the park.
6:03am - Barley decides to torture the Canadian geese that have taken up winter residence at his park. Filled with righteous indignation, he charges towards the geese.
6:04am - Once geese have scattered, Barley decides it's time for a massive morning dump and throughly grosses me out.
6:05am - Run finally begins.
6:14am - Barley finds a dead fish by the lake and proceeds to roll in it. I kick dead fish into the lake and drag stupid, now stinky dog away.
6:21am - Barley comes to a dead stop to inspect something near a bush. I crash into the back of him and almost fall on my face.
6:22am - Drag dog away from fascinating scent and begin run...again.
6: 31am - Barley sees a squirrel and nearly rips my arm out of the socket by dragging me with the force of freight train.
6:31:30am - Let go of leash and hope to never see dumb dog again. Watch as dumb dog tries in vain to climb tree. Squirrel watches dumb dog try to climb tree too. Am certain if squirrel could laugh, it would.
6:33am - Drag dumb dog away from tree.
6:34am - Running again.
6:47am - Run into new neighbor and stop to chat for a few minutes.
6:52am - Running again.
6:55am - Look at watch and realize I have to get home and get ready for work.
7am - Get home and realize that thought I've been gone for an hour, my run was probably no more than 20 minutes.
7:01am - Vow to run without dumb dog tomorrow morning.
7:02am - As I'm taking off my shoes, dumb dog comes over and puts his head on my knee and looks up at me with sweet chocolate brown eyes. Instantly turn to puddle of mush. Vow to run with dumb dog every day I have him because I love him so much.

Awwww. He loves you, too!
It's a trick.
And it works every damn time.
How could you not?? That face is impossibly cute!!!
It's the eyes. They get you every time! :)
How could you not melt at that face?
This post was too funny. I almost spit out my Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke reading this, but it was so worth it.
Sandra Dee - he loves me when I give him Beggin Strips and when he thinks he's in trouble.
Whinger - Why are we so weak when it comes to the dogs?
Dasi - And he milks that face for everything it's worth.
Vic - Do your cats do the same thing?
Cheryl - Yeah, I've always been a sucker for boys with hazel eyes.
dogs learn this in the womb-its all part of their grand plan to subjugate the human race!
