What I see: a dog poking his nose out of the blankets.
What I feel: believe it or not, that dog is on his job … he's just figured out a job perk!

I'm going to get up, I am.
Another day of winter watch; my human family must be kept safe at all times.
But they are sleeping in, and I don't smell any threats.
I'm already on the job, just in sleepy stealth mode.
Blanket duty is a nice job perk!
