ON THE BACK BURNER

Cricket just walked into our bedroom, looking sleepy ,but happy to see me. Along the way to our bed, where I am sure she plans to jump up on and then give me some tail wags, and kisses ,she will then return to sleep mode on Bob's side of the bed. Here is my question: do dogs have sleepless nights. Do they worry about bills, or identity theft? I have not yet, seen Cricket show any signs that she had a problem sleeping through the night. We are early risers. Cricket is usually still asleep when Bob goes into the kitchen to make our coffee. When I get up first, and walk through our condo, she is always still sleeping . When we take our usual nap after lunch, she takes one , too. It must be hard on her to always be so cute and loving. She is always on call during the day. She does a good job of protecting us from thunder and lightening, when it happens. We have no door bell and I tell people that Cricket is our answer to a door bell. Her responsibilities are so great during the day that she must be exhausted. This must be why she sleeps 20 plus hours a day. The other four are just hard . Intense work. Poor baby.
