I Almost Went Back to Bed

There is a saying, "Things happen in threes." I've no clue where it came from and I am not at ALL a superstitious person, but I'd be lying if I said that phrase didn't cross my mind this morning.

About 6am my little curly Blondie alarm clock went off with her usual "Hello! I'm awake. Come and get me!" (This is really what she says over and over and over.) I have yet to find the snooze button on this particular alarm clock. I grabbed the gal and we headed downstairs.

The first thing I noticed was that there seemed to be a strange kind of whitish reflection coming in through the windows. We looked outside and were greeted with this:

As we rounded the corner into the living room, this is what I saw next:

Apparently, the dog had some issues in the middle of the night. Have I told you how much I love our dog?

It was at this point that the above saying came into my head...and I almost went back to bed.

Not sure if I should have posted that 2nd photo. Truth be told, I have a hard time looking at it, but just thought you might want to walk in my shoes...
