Early Morning Wake Up Call

This morning I could not sleep. At about 5:30 some dog started barking. It was not like the dog barked at one thing and then stopped either. It continued to bark the whole morning. Every once in a while it would stop and I would think, “Yes, finally that stupid dog will shut up!” But it never was the end. First I tried to ignore the dog, but I couldn’t. If anything, trying to ignore it made me think about it even more. I kept wondering what the owners were doing or if the dog was bothering anyone else. I did not know what I could do to stop it either. Do I go up to the house and tell the owners? First I would have to figure out who the owners were, plus it would cause me to get out of my warm bed. Then I will have to admit, I did think about killing the dog. Don’t freak out though, I would never kill a dog. But the thought did run through my mind after listening to the irritating yelps for half an hour. Since neither of these sounded so great, I decided to live with the noise and try to get some sleep in between each outbreak. I did finally fall asleep around 7 and get about another hour of sleep before getting up for class. I am now hoping it does not happen again because I will have to act if it does.
