My bedroom window is about 15 feet from the pasture fence. Every monring I wake up to Tank trying to levitate me out of bed. He hears my alarm clock and the more I hit the snooze button, the more he whinnies at me. Then the dogs get into the act (one mouthy miniature schnauzer and 2 giant schnauzers). They start barking when Tank starts to whinny. I have no chance. If I ignore everybody, I just get a large dog nose in my face sometimes accompanied by a very large paw. I usually give up and get up before 6 a.m. (even weekends). and...no, it doesn't do any good to leave the alarm clock off, they have their own! This morning the mini had me up at 5:20. When it's dinner time, (in his humble opinion), Tank,moves to the living room window and stares at me. Sometimes I think I am living in the people barn as much as I see the horses staring in the window and observing us. I used to feed my Morgan in the front yard so Tank wouldn't eat his grain. When finished, he would come right up to the living room window and stare in until I came out to put him back in the pasture so he could get his share of the hay. -- Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NFHR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/cmadden88011 Dogs (and horses, cm) are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras Sarchasm (n) The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
