Katie the Beagle on Morning Watch

Monique got up early yesterday
To run a couple of errands.

She dressed quietly
So as not to wake me,
And slipped out the front door
At precisely 7:30 am
While I slept soundly.

If I slept soundly,
How do I know Monique left
At precisely 7:30 am?

Because at 7:31 am
One anxious beagle
Came up to the bedroom
To tell me we had been abandoned
By panting in my face.

Who needs an alarm clock
When you have an insecure beagle
With bad breath?

  1. Oh my gosh, the things I miss out on around here. This made me laugh, heartily.

  2. But was Katie licking your toes thinking that they were the lips of your body?--No, no! Don't answer me!
