Good Morning!

 In the dark before the dawn

as the world rests from its sins,

something turns the switches on

and The Car Alarm begins.

It starts out with a high-pitched "Yeeee!";

Cocoa's always on it first.

Then Latte joins in, in high G,

enough to make God's eardrums burst.

They rush to wake up all the crew;

Henry rumbles, low and deep,

"Don't know what YOU want to do,

but as for me, I'd rather sleep."

And then yawning, shakes his head,

and joins the whirling dance instead.

Did you know that the human eye can detect a candle flame from 1.6 miles away on a clear, dark night?

Coping with cancer is like this now...in a week that's been worse than ever, regarding just flat-out pain and fatigue, I lean into the small bright things.

Like Chihuahuas before the dawn.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is MANY.

Two Chihuahuas in the place 

running through the open door

barking a glad hymn of grace

leave me wanting much more.

Chi's are like potato chips,

you can't have just one or two,

and notwithstanding little nips,

there are more waiting for you

that will very soon arrive

to take places in the pack.

The big dogs have now learned to thrive,

and there is no looking back

to the cooler days long prior

to when they brought Chihuahua Fire.

Just under four minutes.

Music from Vanity Fare, with Early In The Morning.

Sylvia would rather sleep in, and dream of ice cream.
