the other manly sleeper

dear snoring dog diary,

what i cannot figure out is why some nights are worse than others. most nights the grump is silent as a dead lamb and sleeps peacefully at my feet like a motionless log. then there are other nights like the last two where he has done nothing but buzz and saw logs all night and sleep so hard- even a kick in the head wont disturb him. even now, while my laptop sits on his hip, his lips are blowing in and out and he's making a rough noise while all of his toes are wiggling- he is snoring under his breath. when he wakes up he'll want to stretch and yawn and lay his head right back down- as long as i am right here- he wont want me to leave. i just wish i could touch him. but he will growl. so i'll wait and do that later.
