Good morning my DU family,

[JMCKUSICK]

As I sit restlessly at 4:52am, I want to complain lol. Cuddles was in most of the night because of the thunder storms in our area, so he's been telling me in no uncertain terms that he needs to be outside and he means right now.

I finally relent.

And then there's Shadow, who seems to be impersonating Speed Racer this morning, making tracks through the trailer like someone swore there was a mouse at the other end. Petunia also taught her the secret tunnel to China at the bottom of every litter box that Shadow can only find the time for at five am, coincidentally just like Petunia has done for years lol.

Truly makes me wonder how any cat owners can sleep a solid night through.

This is of course one of those breakfast nook conversations that occurs at every greasy spoon with the six am opening rush crowd like we're bragging like proud martyrs. Ya well my cat yada yada yada......

All that to say this, even on the most frustrating, difficult nights, when it's our babies that do it, it's a badge of honor, when it's the neighbors cat, it's the bad upbringing.

So as I sit here at 5:22am finishing this Good morning post, I'm smiling because my babies are everything to me, to a fault probably, and the treasures that I happen to be collecting at this hour will be just as welcome as their sweetest kindnesses when the days and years go by.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to remember that even in the midst of a rough day or moment, those closest to us are enriching us in ways we can only celebrate later.

Have a wonderfully unique day with your babies DU.
Love, John
