This is how my dog wakes me up at 6 am when she has to go to the bathroom in the morning. #tdc2702 #ds106 #parenting #parentparadox @eng304cripps @ds106dc pic.twitter.com/UNAM1j8ngB

Since moving into my new third floor apartment with my golden retriever Casey, I am abruptly woken up at 6 am (or earlier) to take her out to the bathroom. Because I live on the third floor, I really have to hurry to get her downstairs to avoid an accident. I think this is probably just a preview to what being a parent of a human will be like.. getting woken up at all hours of the night to take care of someone else. I chose this gif to go along with my tweet because it’s exactly how I feel when Casey is standing over my face, heavy breathing and barking in my face. I just want to hide under the covers and ignore her, but as a parent I know that I am responsible for her and when she wants to go out, she gets to go out. Even if we are getting up at 5 am to do so…
