It's good to be loved - posted at 21:03

This morning I was lazing in bed in that comfy and oh-so-snuggy state in between waking and sleep, savoring that luxury that the weekends provide where you can stay in bed until you're good and ready to get up. Sienna was enjoying the lazy morning with me, awake but laying across my back as I dozed on my stomach, just waiting for me to get up so we could start the day.

All of a sudden, I sneezed.

Immediately, her tail started wagging as if to say "oh boy! My mom's waking up and now we're going to have fun!"

How cute is that???

that is quite adorable. It's really good to see you so thoroughly adultified and yet so thoroughly still Stacey.

I miss you, when are you coming to visit me in Washington (or will I break down and fly to Alaska?)

Jared commented:

Champ comes over and pushes on the side of the bed with his nose. He knows better than to jump up on the bed...but that's his subtle doggish way of checking to see if we're awake.

Chrissa says that sometimes she'll have her arm over her head and just peak out under her elbow at Champ to see what he's up to. He sits and stares at her, trying to gauge if she's really awake or not. Dogs rock!!!

Matt: I miss you too! I think a fair question back to you is when are you getting back from Japan? I don't know when I'll be able to get to Washington to see you -- right now Cory and I are stationed at different bases so we kinda use all of our leave seeing each other. Geez. How rude of us. So we will have to wait and see. But if you do break down and fly to Alaska, there is always a spot for you here! It's been so long since I've seen you! It would be awesome if you brought Bill along too, since it's been even longer since I saw him.

Jared: Yes, dogs do rock! They are the bestest ever! Cory's little doggie used to lay on his chest right near his face, doing that cute audible sniff that doggies do. Cory would stay as still as possible because as soon as he moved, Tippy knew he was awake and the barrage of kisses would begin! I think it's so sweet how dogs miss you when you're asleep. I think that's about the purest kind of love there is.
