I was dragged from the depths of sleep by dog #3 licking one of my hands. I withdrew it under the covers and the little bugger moved down the bed and found a foot poking out from under the duvet. That got licked too. Having seemingly got tired of licking that foot, it then rummaged around until it found my other foot and gave it the same licky treatment.
By this time I was most definitely awake and I cracked one eyelid. The light level told me that it was well before six o'clock and I groaned inwardly. You see, the problem is that once I am awake I find it virtually impossible to fall back to sleep or lie in. I knew that I was going to have to get up as it seemed that the dog wanted to be let out for a pee. My night's sleep was definitely over.
I checked my watch and saw that it was five, fifteen. I'll repeat that; the little bugger had woken me at quarter past bloody five! Now. I'm happy to rise at six, but this was unacceptable. Clothes were thrown on and dog #3 jumped off the bed and trotted happily to the bedroom door.
We made our way downstairs and I grabbed the keys and unlocked the door to the garden. The little sod had no interest in going out in to the garden. She headed straight to the lounge and curled up in her favourite spot on the sofa.
The bloody thing then snoozed for a couple of hours until the Marauder and Whiffler woke and, only then, went out to desecrate the lawn.
