Teenage Wasteland

Waking my dog up in the morning is a fairly lengthy process. I let her lounge in bed while I get my workout gear on, brush my teeth, put in my contacts, etc. - and then try to rouse her to go out and pee. But it takes a good 10-15 more minutes of coaxing, belly rubbing, face-licking (mine, not hers), etc. to finally get her on her feet so I can pick her up and get her on the floor (the bed is too high for her to just jump down). It's like waking up a damn teenager. But then again, she just turned two, which is 14 in people years, right? Sounds fairly accurate then.
