6 a.m. - Muttley in the Morning


Having Muttley the Dog has brought a whole new level of structure to my life, including the requirement to get up pretty darned early in the morning to take him out. I've seen more sunrises in the last year than in all my prior years put together.

But that's what love does, I guess. Pre-dawn walks with Muttley are a teeny tiny example of what Viktor Frankl said:
Those who have a "why" to live, can bear with almost any "how."
Including getting up early.

Today's front yard critter count:
Raccoons: 4 (Crabby Mama and her 3 teenagers).
Deer: 3 (a doe and two yearlings)
