College Morning Routine During Finals As Told By Fancy The Seeing Eye Dog

Sometimes I hear people talking about us when we are at school. Some of them can't figure out what my job is and I don't get why?! Can't they see my backpack on my harness?! It says The Seeing Eye? Can't these humans read?

College Morning Routine During Finals As Told By Fancy The Seeing Eye Dog

I really don't know what was up with my human today. I think she forgot to sleep. I put myself in my bed and I was out. I woke up at some point during the dark time and she was still awake. I have no idea what she was doing. I tried to run to get her and remind her to go to sleep but she patted my head and told me to go lay down.

I was not thrilled.

Sometimes when she forgets to get in her big human bed during the dark time I wish she would let me get some sleep in my Livingroom bed where there are no lights on but nnnnoooooo. Dark time sleep means I must go in my crate.

When It got bright out again my human was awake again. I really don't know if she went to sleep or not. She's been doing that a lot lately. She always has lots of things to do She said she has something called finals. I don't know what that means other than that we don't go to the dog park as much and she forgets to sleep a lot during the dark time.

Lexi always makes herself that hot brown drink in the morning, although I can't imagine why. The other day she left it on that weird little table by the couch things in the Livingroom. It wasn't my fault that it was just as tall as me and my tongue. I accidentally may have put my mouth all the way in her hot brown stuff and It tasted worse than anything I have ever eaten.

I guarantee it. I know I don't have a lot of credibility because I admit, sometimes I drink from the big white water bowl in the bathroom and that gets me in bunches of trouble but I SWARE the hot brown stuff that smells like the place Mom calls Starbucks, it's awful. I promise.

Mom always makes me pee fast in the morning and I don't appreciate it. She takes forever to get ready so why can't I? Sometimes I see my friends outside doing their businesses in the mornings. I just really want to say hi so I bark and bark but apparently sometimes I'm not allowed to use my outside voice outside and I don't really know why. Shocked and upset, yeah.

Me too! Lexi just says I have to hush. Doesn't she get it? I just really REALLY want to socialize. It's so not fair! We always have to stop and talk to other humans she knows. I like them too but she doesn't get my NEED for urgency when I see a bird ahead and she sees her friend. Ridiculous.

We go to school in a big loud thing. There are always lots of people on it. This means I have to sit straight up and I can't lay down. I tried that once but a boy stepped on my tail. He tried to do that doggy voice thing to say he was sorry but I could just smell that he doesn't have other dog friends.

Suspicious.

I like the big loud thing because Mom usually lets me sit by the big see-through thing that opens and closes and I think this is very fun. I get to watch other things outside. I also like the big loud thing because there are always lots and lots of things to smell. Mom gets mad when I try to sniff things. Sometimes I try to play a game with myself and see how many shoes I can sniff before mom notices. Today I only sniffed two before I got in trouble.

When we get off the big loud thing I like to walk really fast. I get so excited because I know exactly where we go for our first room. Sometimes I hear people talking about us when we are at school. Some of them can't figure out what my job is and I don't get why?! Can't they see my backpack on my harness?! It says The Seeing Eye? Can't these humans read? If Lexi didn't have these I'm convinced she'd run into a lot of things. Speaking of running into stuff, you know those zippy fast scooter things all of you humans use?

Yeah. Those suck.

I have to steer my human away from them so fast. I don't trust anyone's driving abilities but my own. You humans thought you have a hard job on those scooters? I'm in charge of me AND a human so please, stop scaring me with those things. Anyways, we have to walk kind of far to get to our first room. I like it tough because I get to cross lots of streets and go up some stairs. I always get excited to pass birds in a particular tree when we walk in the early day but we aren't friends because I'm not allowed to make friends at work.

I like our first room. There are not a lot of people so this gives me the perfect amount of room to take my first nap of the day. I'll leave you with that. You humans go do whatever it is you do at school.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
