Saturday

Saturday
I love Saturdays since for the most part; this day does is unstructured and has no set plan. Just a good day!
The morning starts by my dad stirring in bed and upon noticing him kicking back the covers I stand up and start to get excited. I can’t go anywhere yet as I am still on my tie-down – but I am ready to go! Before I know it dad is dressed and moving my direction, which has me excited and ready to run. As dad reaches down and unclips the swivel snap on my tie-down I race toward the closed door, stop on a dime, and shake my fir all over the bedroom, and standing in ready mode, I wait for dad to open the door.
Upon opening the door I realize that the house is quiet and no one is up yet except dad and I and this is our time. Proceeding down the long flight of stairs I race ahead anticipating dad moving to the garage door. However most of the time he detours toward the kitchen to put on a pot of coffee, the smell in the air, usually makes my nose twitch but this makes him happy so I put up with it.
Upon finishing up at the counter he moves toward the door in a methodical manner and I stand waiting, mind you I am wiggling and dancing, but I am waiting. Upon dad reaching the door he grabs the door knob and turns and open the door and I dart into the garage and head directly for the black box full of my dog food. Yes I am anticipating my breakfast, for you remember I am a food craving Labrador retriever, trained or not I enjoy my food!
After dad takes me for my morning walk it is time to re-enter the house and see what is happening. We go and poor a cup of coffee and grab a comfortable chair to enjoy the quiet of the morning. While he is doing that, I will go grab my chewing bone and chew for a while or perhaps a moment of chasing my leg in circles.
Upon completing my chewing I will then assume my position on the porch and enjoy the sun. I hang my head on my dad’s feet or over the rail to watch and see what is happening around the house. Then after sunning I go inside and walk to the top of the stairs and again lay with my head hanging down to the next step as I wait for the rest of the family to wake for the day. I love the stillness of morning, quietly watching, waiting and wondering what will this day bring! Yes this is how I love to start my Saturdays relaxing and protecting my family and my house.
