Late Night Entertainment, Supper & Play-Time

I am officially having a mild hangover...had a large dose of 'Cha' (Note: Cha is referred to Indian boiled herb tea).

Still feeling uneasy....The reason being not enough sleep, not enough rest and lots of activity.

Why? Here's the story of what happened last night and wee hours of this morning....

Both hubby and I went out for dinner, drinks and had late supper. We came back home about 3.00 am or later. The house was so quiet, so nice (the air-con has been switched on since 6.45pm...within a split second AL-E jumped from his basket (which is his bed, filled with generous amount of toys, a pillow, a duvet cover and other cushions) to greet us.

We could clearly see that he is half-asleep or rather rudely woken but oh boy, I wonder, where does that fella gets his dose of energy. I need some now. AL-E, please don't be stingy with knowledge, share with mommy and daddy, please. We need your dose of energy..

Okay, back to story now...

On a second thought, perhaps we should have got a sitter and kept AL-E awake, because when it came to bedtime - our bedtime - our little fella was anything but sleepy. But then again, it is almost impossible to get a sitter for a pet in this town...maybe in KL or SA (we have list of sitters who has have volunteered...wow! Can you image that, we options and choices...wistful thinking for now here in this resort city that we live. Sigh).

Anyways, we got home, hubby had a quick shower and slept on the couch with only his bath towel covering him, AL-E leaped to his lap and started giving facials - I should have taken a video (record) of this moment. Alas, I was busy cleaning up AL-E's mess in the crate (as usual), the smell was a little too pungent for my liking.

Out of no where, AL-E turned into a different animal. Well, he is an animal but just different. Nose to the ground like the hunting dogs which his breed is descended (Cocker Spaniel are from the Gundog family)., he follows the scent of his human mommy like a 'shadow'..He tugged my blouse, pants, pulled my hair, licked my hair, gave me facials and some bites (due to excitement) - the bites can be quite painful especially when AL-E's in dancing mood (more like rock cum disco dancing). He chased after me, stopped chasing, continued chasing etc....etc....after awhile I just ignored him. I was so knocked off and all I need was shower and sleep ..zzzzzzz.

Guess what, the minute I came out of shower, there was a strong toxic fume coming from the living room (from AL-E's crate which I had just cleared, cleaned and sprayed some bio-degradable Instant Odor Eliminator)...Urggh... urggg... not again, I am so tired and it is 4.00 am!! Holding my breath to stop myself gagging, I cleaned the 'fresh' smelling droppings and cleaned up the crate again.

Sometimes, at these times, it is so hard to remember what the up-side of having a pet.

Well, as for AL-E, he's done his business now and can't seem to understand what's all this fuss that mommy's feeling crappy about. He seemed to be happy to play with his toys. Forget mommy who's darn tired and need to sleep. That selfish little imp!

Finally, I call him to wish him good night (perhaps good morning to AL-E), I whistle, I yell, I shout...AL-E remains immobile as the cute wax-figurine in Madame Tussaud's Museum..Oh well, I give up and head to our bedroom...

Ten minutes later...I can't do this, got out of the room, hugged AL-E Belly, gave him an explanation that mommy needs to sleep and feeling tired ...blah, blah, blah, bli-blah, bli-blah, etc. etc., gave a goodnight kiss on AL-E's adorable forehead and head to zzzzzzzz land. It was 4.45 am...oh well...

AL-E has taken over my home and in particular way taking over my life...

(Note: Hubby disagrees though...According to my wise ole hubby, I let AL-E dominate my life...So true, for now....AL-E Belly Smelly Belly is so so oh so adorable and I am sucker to his charming ways. Oh dear, what have I got myself into...)
