A spaniel wake-up…a wet nose and a sloppy kiss…

This is Pepe in 2006 at our holiday house from hell at Te Waitere, telling me it’s time for some more “…up and at ’em…” or, at the very least, could I open the door so he could go chase rabbits…

This wasn’t the picture I planned on for this week…I’d seen the challenge posted just before I flew out from LAX and tried to get some shots through the window as we caught up with the Pacific dawn…they were OK but didn’t really say much ‘morning-ish’, certainly not as much as this did…how many times was I woken up by a wagging tail and wet nose pushing under the blankets…?
