5 more minutes?

My alarm went off at 6:25 this morning to wake me up for school. To stop the sound of the quacking duck alarm, I crossed the room to turn my alarm off. When I flipped on the light switch, I noticed I wasn’t the only one feeling sleepy. My yellow lab reluctantly glanced up at me as if to say “just 5 more minutes!” Lilly is normally a ball of energy but this morning it took extra effort for her to keep her eyes open. I found this hilarious and began laughing as I said things to her such as “Is little Lilly tired?” and “Good Morning sunshine!” Lilly didn’t see the humor in my remarks. She only looked at me and groaned. Then she flopped back down on my bed as I got dressed. About ten minutes later, I was over in my bathroom listening to Tenth Avenue North play from my phone on Spotify. As I attempted to do something with my mop of hair in the mirror, I heard a thumping noise at the bathroom door. I opened it to find Lilly lying at the top of the steps with her tail beating against the door. Again I laughed and made comments to her such as “Well hey there Sleeping Beauty!” Lilly only groaned and wagged her tail for a belly rub. After absent mindedly petting her, I noticed I had dog hair all over my black leggings! Having not much time to change, I raced to throw a new outfit together. Now Lilly wasn’t the only one who wishes she could have five more minutes.
