Biscuit loves mornings. Absolutely adores them. I think for him, it’s an exciting new day to play and chew and run around.
So when it's time to get up, despite my desire to hit snooze, Biscuit is reared up and ready to go. Since his day needs to start with a business trip outside and a good breakfast, he needs me to be just as eager to jump out of bed. But of course, I’m not.
So my day typically starts off with a lot of face and hand licking, some pawing at my face, nudging at my head or digging on my head…pretty much anything a dog can do to get someone’s attention.
The thing is, my desire to sleep in is pretty strong. (Though it has gotten less so thanks to Biscuit's persistence!) So Biscuit has to keep trying and trying until I finally give in and get up. But he always wins. I always give up before him. Why? Because that dude is persistent. He wants his potty and breakfast, and he won’t stop until he gets it.
I think of myself as someone with a lot of drive. But I still have a lot to learn from Biscuit's persistence!
