I woke up early this morning to his tongue licking my back and his hot breath at my neck.

I was staying with friends at their cottage this weekend and their new puppy had busted my latched door down at 6 am – his master following fast after him  so he could  tear him off of me and apologise.

When you are a guest to a family cottage you wear pjs– a little something, in spite of the heat. You don’t want to frighten the children with a gravity lesson. Or alarm the men with weak hearts.

I had had a fitful sleep so my nightie was wrapped tightly around my neck from nightmares, dreams  and tossing. I was in prone single gal position- ‘starfish’ pose on my front  with my nightie nothing more than a small scarf at my neck. I was exhausted, so I was out cold.

Breath and tongue at my neck was a small treat until I realised fully it came on four legs not two.

I was promised I did not moan.

My white butt bare to the world-there is not much you can say except ” Good morning” and ‘Is the coffee on?”
