At The Intersection of Slumber Street and Empty Avenue

My wifey said something to me and I woke up on the couch but my legs had hung off just a little bit making them fall partially asleep. She repeated that the dog wanted outside and there he was across the way by the backdoor, so I slowly & carefully headed to the back door.

BUT when I made it to the spot where he had been I turned around to see that he had repositioned himself to almost my former spot near the couch, and I asked him if he wanted to go outside. But he didn't move or say anything, he just stood there and smiled. Then Tamie said, "you dumb dog, Ernie went over there to let you outside!" - BUT then I looked and saw that his water bowl - empty - was positioned almost eXactly between us, both times, ah! And so I filled his water bowl, he drank and was happy, now back at his chew bone by my side.
