Tuesdays with Harley

April 29, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Due to the incredible response to my previous post on Harley (our 2 1/2 year-old Olde English Bulldogge), I’ve decided to start a new series dedicated to the ridiculous life of our ridiculous dog. Hopefully you will be entertained by these brief glimpses into Harley’s world.

For the first installment, it’s only appropriate to talk about Harley’s favorite activity…Sleeping

Harley sleeps sometimes close to 20 hours a day. There was a day in the fall when Harley fell asleep in the recliner (his favorite daytime resting place) and did not move for over 14 hours. His loud snoring assured me that he was not dead.

Here’s a typical 24 hour schedule for Harley:

7:30 AM- Door to his crate opened, He opens one eye and lets out an overly dramatic sigh to let you know he’s not ready to wake up

9:30 AM- Stumbles into my office, sits down next to me, I rub his head and scratch his back and then take him outside to go to the bathroom.

9:45-Noon- Sits in the chair next to window and watches traffic on Woodruff Road and naps in the recliner

*Right now it is 9:16AM and this is a photo of Harley at this very moment*

Noon-5:00- Sleeps outside, on top of his house (if it is good weather). If it’s raining…back to the recliner.

5:00-9:30- Lays on the rug in the living room and chews on a rawhide eventually falling asleep

Between 9:30 & 10PM- Comes up to me, paws my foot letting me know it is time to go to the bathroom and then straight to his crate for a long night’s sleep.

That’s it. Everyday. Ridiculous.
