In one night off the other, in another night
It can be a punishing timetable
Winnie has accepted today's lethargy until a 3pm breaking point and in a fit of exasperated irritation and boredom has just decided that enough is fucking well enough, and has forced me with very fat bear paws and some marked halitosis to face the world, albeit through gritted teeth and some very bad hair.
That's it. Shake a leg! X

ReplyDeleteI wish you didn't have to work nights. If you're naturally a night person, they're fine but if you're not, it's torture.
ReplyDeletePity you didn’t get her to an orthodontist, too late now I suppose? She loves you John.

Wow, I didn't even see you in the picture until I looked again! It was a bit startling. Go Winnie, you big beautiful bitch!
ReplyDeleteOh I hate in one night,off one night in another, I'd much sooner do three nights in a row. I'm extremely fortunate with the Betty Noodle, she will wait for food and walks until I am ready! Hope you don't need to do too much today.

ReplyDeleteThat's a killer shift pattern, I feel for you. I echo Lettuce's comment about the orthodontist. I deleted my previous comment as I had missed out a word which made it sound rather rude!
ReplyDeleteLooks like she's been chewing too many ankles.
ReplyDeleteNights are the pits. My bottom teeth are a bit like Winnie's.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a poster for a new horror film..."Revenge of The Bulldog" starring Winnie Gray as Satan.
ReplyDeleteThat schedule is grueling. And that doggie is cute taking over the pic. I didn’t see you until someone else pointed to you bing there too! LoL
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Winnie wants YOU. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible shift and when you have to double back, it's worse. Wish those who made the schedules had to work them, too. Karma!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it kind of funny when dogs reach the limit of their patience? Our beloved basset, Daisy, used to bay in our faces as if to say "HEY! Pay attention" if we tried to sleep late.
Hugs!
Not a good shift pattern at all. Winnie is right to drag you off the sofa though, you need fresh air and a bit of daylight. 🙂
ReplyDeleteI was in bed...she managed to climb up to get me
DeleteWinnie's impatience may be for the best. Often, after dragging my tired self through a day with some activities I feel better, and have a lighter heart and mood...
ReplyDeletethan I feel on days spent doing little except thinking too much.
Be well, good man, ahead are balanced times. -Mary
See next post..I took your advice
DeleteYou can't do anything about the bear paws, but surely a toothbrush would help with your halitosis and a comb with your hair? You would be a delight to wake up with.
ReplyDeleteWith my flatulence?
DeleteI currently sleep with Pug arse in my face.
DeletePets do like a schedule, don't they? Ours let me know if I stray from it. That is a hard schedule and it's not good for the health. Too bad you couldn't teach Winnie to bring you breakfast in bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! It's one for the memory book!
ReplyDeletesweet winnie; she wants her daddy!
ReplyDeleteHer Highness's routine is being disturbed!
ReplyDeleteScarlett wasn't happy
DeleteI saw two vans of national companies today advertising "drivers wanted" and I thought of your recent request for job ideas... got to be better than working the nightmare shifts. Mind you, if you want to be a White Van Man you may need to forget all you learned at your recent speed awareness course.
ReplyDeleteOh, and some van drivers seems to have dogs as their co-pilot, although taking them all may be a bit much.
DeleteI am the worlds worst driver
Deletewinnie might need dentures.
ReplyDeleteHer baby teeth look like a row of bombed houses
DeleteLove our girl Winnie
ReplyDeleteShe's a dog that actually THINKS
DeleteI'm convinced she does
Shift work sucks big time, I did it for 4 years...it nearly killed me. That Winnie is one handsome broad! Such wise eyes. Glad you finally got your A into G... exercise, although a killer at first, is the way to get the adrenalin pumping again.

You're both so cute. Too bad Winnie's so bossy.
