Usually when we appear in the kitchen in the morning Harry will stay firmly on his bed, stare up at you with his big brown eyes and go “oh puh-leeze don’t disturb me, at least not until my breakfast is ready”. Occasionally, if we’re very lucky, we might get a few wags of the tail, but rarely does he drag himself out of his basket to greet us. He is so not a morning person.
Today was different. Very different.
Harry and Lacey are not sleeping in the same room and he had completely forgotten about her being around. So when Lacey came strolling into the kitchen his eyes nearly popped right out of his head, he jumped out of bed, quickly shook himself and then stood routed to the spot in shock. His jaw nearly hit the floor.
Lacey was as cool as a cucumber, spotted Harry’s bed and hopped straight in. There was nothing else for Harry could do – he jumped right back in beside her.
