When I get up in the morning, as soon as I have taken care of bathroom routines and said hello to my husband, I need two things: a cup of coffee and a cuddle with Emme.
Emme knows the routine. As soon as I come downstairs, she runs for the couch in the living room. She knows that I will come to sit down and pet her. I rub her ears, scratch her back, pet her belly and tell her what a good dog she is and how lucky I am to have her. She sits right next to me on the couch until I tell her to "Go get Ken." Then she dashes over to his chair at the dining room table and does a reasonably good sit to get petted. When Ken is done greeting her, he sends her back to me with a "Go get Mary Lou." She goes back and forth a few times before she stops to visit with Big Mama Gorilla. As Emme settles down with her lovie, I go to the kitchen to wash my hands and pour a cup of coffee. How could we start our day without our routines?
