Two Memorable Mornings

So during the past few days I have had two of the most memorable and unique "wake up calls" I've ever had. Saturday night I stayed over at Karen's sister and brother in laws house in the Seattle area. We were over on "west side" as we call it up here to go to a friends wedding (Congrats David and Shelly!) I had a great time hanging out with my future in laws and their dog Rocky. Rocky is a rather large Golden Lab and really enjoys having visitors over. I woke up on Sunday morning to the sound of my bedroom door opening and hearing the familiar jingle of a dog chain. "oops" thought I must not have shut my door all the way. I was sleeping on a very comfortable inflatable mattress so I was right at dog level. So I opened my eyes so I would be ready to block the cold nose treatment that I was certain was coming my way. I saw Rocky standing across from me on the opposite side of the bed I was on wagging his tail and looking happy. Thinking I was out of "danger" I said"good morning Rocky". And as if waiting for a cue Rocky vomited his breakfast on the pillow across from me. That's right up came the Kibbles and the Bits. Then as only a dog can he danced around a little bit (like he was proud of himself) and ran out of the room. I was stunned, after a lifetime of living with dogs I have never experienced anything quite like that. To say the least, I was fully awake:)
The second morning was shocking but in a different way. I awoke Tuesday with the usual argument with myself about working out or sleeping another 10 minutes. This morning working out won so I got up to get myself a bottle of water so I could head out and as I past the window in my living room I saw white flakes falling from the sky. I initially thought it must be from dandelions or something but when I looked again my wost fears wee confirmed, it was snowing. And I don't mean a small flurry that would be gone in 10 minutes less, I mean it was dumping pretty good. It continued to snow all morning! It was ridiculous. This Is JUNE! So I shelved the workout for the day and watched a video. Honestly I would prefer a dog barfing on my pillow.
