Quote from my horoscope today "Your fresh ideas are music to the ears of the people around you, so sing out!"
I woke up this morning not by my alarm but my dogs' barks. In fact, they (both of the monsters) have in fact adopted a new routine lately:
6am - As and when they hear my dad in the toilet (which is pretty close to their cages), Mika will start his 'let-me-out' bark. The other one, Cooper, will do his morning stretch with the 'stretching' sound.
6.45am - My dad will put them back to their cages where before that, he will be screaming 'Cooperr!!! IN!!!!!!!' and then hit the newspaper roll on the wall to threaten Cooper coz he's the naughty one always running away when my dad says the magic word. When they are in their respective cages, they will just look at my parents driving off the driveway... silently.
7.00am - Episode 1: The dogs menace - Both of them will start looking out for dogs which passes by in front of my hse. When there are, then there goes.. bark bark bark.. it'll last for 35 seconds.
7.15am - Episode 2: The attack of the cats - Mika will be resting, and Cooper would still be looking out for dogs. And then there will be the neighbour cats - 2 of them, where they will start meow-ing each other to see who has the louder meow!! And as usual, when Cooper starts barking, Mika will follow too. I used to scream "OI! Shut up" about 3-4 weeks back but I gave up. They'll still bark bark and bark.
7.20am - Episode 3: Revenge of the cats - They know that my dogs are in the cage, so they would purposely roll around in the little sandy area in front of my house. And of course, the barks get louder and in a more continuous mode.
7.23am - Episode 4: A New Hope - My neighbour would call the 2 kitties and feed them... once they are out of sight, my dogs will be out of barks.
7.30am - Episode 5: The barks strike back - Neighbourhood folks will be doing their morning walks and yes, again, bark bark bark when they pass in front of my hse.
7.45am - Episode 6: The return of peace & quite - Finally, my dogs will stop watching out for cats, dogs, neighbours and go to sleep! But unfortunately for me, it's time for me to wake up :(
This has been going on for the past mth which explains my eye bags!

Mandy, you forgot to mention that around 7.40AM, the cat will come back and reveal to the dogs that he is actually their father, and then invite them to join him in ruling the neighbourhood together!
Oh!!! I forgot about that! Hmm.. now we know why dogs and cats can't get along huh? *grin*
