<Some Duke adorableness for you Ang I know how you love Duke and that you're sick now but feel better ;)  >

Seeing as it was now reaching 6:30, I kept telling myself I should get out of bed. For the past 15 minutes I was just lying there, petting the top of Duke's soft head. Cooing at the sleepy movements he'd do during the moments he'd wake up for a tiny bit. He'd kick his legs out slightly to stretch them, and curl them back in afterwards. He was pressed up to my side, keeping it nice and warm despite being under blankets. 

He only snored a little bit when he'd move his head around drowsily, but luckily that was all he seemed to snore about. 

Scratching lightly behind his ear, his head raised to look at me face; smiley and happily but still tired. 

"Awh Duke." I cooed out to him. He adorably stumbled onto his feet and crawled into my lap. Shifting to get into a better position, he  got in between my legs but put his chest on my crotch to continue looking up at me. 

Myself now trying to get into a better position, I sat up and backed against my headboard. Whining slightly at my actions, he army crawled towards me yet again and got back into position. 

Continuing to pet his head, his noggin lolled to the side when I shifted his head to the back if his floppy ears. 

"You hungry Duke?" When asking this, his head shot up and tail started wagging, thumping against the insides of my legs. 

"Alrighty then, we should get up." As if on cue, he groggily got up from my lap, jumped over my thigh, waltzed over to his side of the queen sized bed, and trudged down his pet stairs to get on and off the bed at his small size. 

Chuckling at his grumpy morning-dog act, I too got out of my bed. 

Trudging into the kitchen, Duke followed behind me. I once again chuckled as he'd let out small grumpy grunts. Once we both arrived to the kitchen, I walked pressed the on button to my Keurig to let the water warm up. While that was heating, I picked Duke's water bowl up from the floor and filled it. 

Setting his water bowl down, he continued to grumpily walk towards it and began to drink it. Not being a morning-dog, I found it amusing as he'd scowl down at the water whenever it splashed up and hit his face. 

Putting my coffee in the Keurig because it was  finally warmed up, Duke bolted his head up immediately as he heard the machine rumbling. Not seeing anything around him moving, he growled slightly and and went back to drinking his water somewhat angrily. 

Walking over beside him, I picked up his food bowl and filled it with his food from the cabinet. 

Upon seeing his food, I saw the scowl lighten up slightly as I placed it beside him. He eagerly dove into eating it. 

Once he was done eating and I was done with my coffee, I decided to get ready for my day at work. 

Duke continued to follow me as I put on slight mascara and eye liner and pulled my hair back into a messy bun. 

When brushing my teeth, I felt him pawing at my legs; begging for my attention. Knowing what he was wanting, I walked to the kitchen still occasionally brushing the tooth bush. Opening the cabinet that held Duke's food he happily whined at me. Pulling out his dog treat tooth brush, he caught it in his mouth as he took off running. 

Duke ran over to the couch and jumped on it, gnawing away on the bone.

I walked back to the bathroom, finishing to brush the teeth and spitting it our afterwards. 

I joined Duke on the couch and we watched The Simpsons until it was 8:20. Deciding it was time that I should leave soon, I got up from the couch much to Duke's disapproval. I change into the uniform I got when I applied and got the job at the cafe, still disliking bowling-shirt type of outfit. 

I grabbed out one of the extra keys to my apartment if Pete or Bren decided to watch Duke in my apartment or needed one of Duke's things from mine. Being all ready to go, I slipped on Lord Flannigan, put Duke on his leash, and left my apartment for Brens.
