We're on vacation. When we're at home, I'm normally up right at 6, because I can hear the dogs squealing and rustling downstairs, and there is normally a cat sitting on my head, either screeching at me or slapping me. Just another day in paradise. I start work at 7:30 anyway, so 6 is normal.
Again, we're away on vacation, and DH has awakened me at 8 (same time zone) each morning (because he's ready to go eat). I'm amazed at how much more relaxed I am, thus I'm sleeping in. I know part of it is because I'm off work all week, but not having the small zoo to care for is pretty darned enjoyable.
Don't get me wrong - DH bought be a puppy as an engagement present, and we've had at least 1 critter for all of our 30+ years of married life.
Our kids are both gone, but yet with all these pets we have to hire a sitter, even to go away for the night.
Do you ever envision a time when you won't have any pets? I can't believe I'm even thinking of this because I am a rabid pet fanatic.
Life sure would be easier, but I'm not sure if I'd like it 365 days a year. They're my babies, but boy are they loads of work, not to mention the $$$.
Anyone else had these evil, petless thoughts?
