The Most Amazing Dog in the World

So, yesterday, Sam and I spent almost 15 hours on the road.  That's enough to tire out your average young adult dog, let alone a not-so-young adult dog! Here's the scoop:

7:30am - Get up, take care of business, eat breakfast
7:45am - Get in the car and drive to the airport to drop off Mike
8:30-9am - Arrive at Canine University and get settled in
9-12:30pm - Teach dog agility with Mom by barking my comments (she needs my help, trust me!)
1-4pm - Inspect my barn where Emmy lives.  Check on the dogs that I allow to live and visit there.  Meet new dogs and explain the rules to them.  Do a little mentoring for some people and other animals.  Lay in the snow.  Bark.  Have some snacks (horse manure) and then retire for a nap in the car.  Oh yeah, and walk around a whole bunch and hide from Mom.
4-5pm Drive to Akron to teach more dogs. 
5:15-9pm - Teaching in Akron.  I decided to let Mom teach these classes on her own since she did a pretty decent job in the morning.  I napped and meditated in the car and worked on some philosophical theories that I'm developing...
9-10pm - Drive home.
10-10:30pm - Take care of business, eat dinner in the kitchen (walked in by myself), and walked to the stairs by myself when Mom said, "Okay, let's go to bed."  Her foot hurt and I didn't want her to have to carry me that whole way.  She was very surprised to hear my footsteps on the floor behind her.  Hey, she had a busy day, too, it was the least I could do.  Sometimes my foot hurts, too...
10:30-11pm - Suffer through snuggling and hugging and kissing and, "You're such a great dog!", and all that crap.  Sheesh, can't a guy get some sleep around here?  I don't want to sleep on the human bed, just put me on my mat, CRIMINI, it's been 16 years, you know I want to sleep on the floor...
11pm - On my mat at last.  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Even The Most Amazing Dog in the World (and superheros) need to sleep sometime!
