Luci tales are aplenty and this here is just another one of a strange habit of hers the reason for which remains a mystery.
She wakes you up in the middle of the night by gently butting you with her snout, or keeping her paw on the mattress and helpfully blowing hot air in your face, or simply by giving you slobbering kisses. One would think if Luci wanted to go out of the bedroom she would simply walk out, the door being open, and as all she wants to do anyway is move from Spot A inside the room to Spot B just outside the door.
She first wakes up her ‘Dad’ and when he is still going, ‘Eh? What? What?’ totally disoriented by the sudden onslaught of hot air or drool (or both), Luci is already running to the other side of the bed to me, to repeat procedure. Our gal you see, is impartial when it comes to distribution of hot air and drool, even snout butts for that matter. I tell her, “Okay, okay. Alright. Go, go if you want to!” and only then does she leave to curl up with a sigh at Spot B, her place for post-midnight snooze.
The ‘Dad’ in the meantime, poor man, having lost his sleep (one only has to cough or sneeze for him to lose sleep!), grumbles that ‘no one ever lets him sleep undisturbed in this house’, and what he is going to do the next day is ‘go and sleep in the guest room’. Though I do have sympathy for his plight, I cannot help but grin at all the drama happening in the middle of the night, before promptly falling asleep myself.

Cute Luci tales continue! 🙂
hello to Luci!
Welcome to Shail’s nest, David. Yeah, Luci tales shall continue 🙂
Haha! Shail, I can totally understand the situation. My Chikoo used to do the exact same thing when he was younger. Now that he is old and with achy joints, he sleeps peacefully all night long. May be Luci wants to tell you she is there, in case you feel scared of the dark! 🙂
Hugs to Luci!
Haha. Like saying, “Don’t be scared. I am right outside in case you need me!” 😀 😀
Hope you come up with more tales of Luci. She is so cute and spreading her love in the house:)
Never worry. You will surely get more of them tales, Vishal 🙂
Aww Luci !!
Maybe she’s just making you’re both alright !!
Yes. Perhaps asking us, ‘Will you both be alright while I go and sleep outside?’ 😛
Chinnu used to do this, especially, as you say, in the middle of the night 🙂
Loochi moochi… hugs to you gal 🙂
Lol, they are all the same, aren’t they? Such cutie-pies! 😀 😀
Big bear hugs to my Luci darling ❤
My girls, when they were little younger, used to take permission to go to the loo, as if I am holding them or something 😀 😀
I can so relate to that permission-taking. Have gone through the same phase 😀
Awww… Hugs to Luci!! I had a baby Labrador some years back and she’d leave no stone unturned in disturbing my sleep… but it just din’t matter 🙂 I now miss her to no end.. and yes the permission-taking.. 🙂 You made me walk the memory lane 🙂
It never matters when they do that, isn’t it? Even when I am woken up from deep sleep and find her grinning face in front of me, it brings a smile to my face, whatever time of the night it is! 🙂
While our cats don’t quite do that, they do come and go throughout the night. Sometimes sniffing or licking our noses and generally making their presence well know. I often times end up accidentally kicking them if the get on my feet. Animals are funny.
Indeed, they are funny. I had some cats who did that too. I am hoping to introduce Luci to a kitten soon. 🙂 And, welcome to Shail’s Nest, JH.
That cracks me up that she essentially asks permission to go out the door.
Exactly and it IS rather funny! 😀
Hugs to Luci! 🙂
Luci says ‘woof woof’ 😀
