...snapping back to conciousness after being kicked in the man-bits

I seem to have a new alarm clock.  Yes, new alarm clock...  His name is Ollie, he is my ever-so-cute doggie.  He loves to snuggle, often at night he will root his way under the covers and curl up in a tight little ball.  Now, imagine said ball, curled up in your lap-area while you sleep on your side.  Now imagine further that this cute ball of fluff is having a dream, perhaps he is dreaming of running, or maybe he is dreaming that he is Thumper, you know, the bunny from the Disney cartoon 'Bambi'?  Now imagine again this cute blond performing the 'Thumpers patented quick-kick of doom' right in your man-bits...

Yes, that is quite an alarm clock.

Good morning, cruel world.  I think I will go look for an ice pack...  :)
