Report

***BEEP BEEP BEEP*** (5:30 Alarm going off) *BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK* 

This is Jake's signal to wake up every morning, Jake awakens from his slumber and is ready to start his morning. “Ahhhh” *Snoozes alarm* “First things first stretch” Jake stretches for 5 minutes straight. Then he gets up off the bed and walks over to the bathroom, his dog “Report” which I know was a strange name for a dog that had wandered over from the bed to the door where Jake was in the bathroom. He paws and claws at the door but Jake would not answer the door. Jake had to deal with this clinginess every day when he woke up till he went to sleep. Since the jacket worked from home he had to appreciate his company, since it's the only one he ever got. Jake first went to the bathroom then watched his hands, always starting with soap in his right hand then scrubbing it into his left hand, never different. Once he was done with that he picked up his toothbrush with his right hand, never different. Then with his left hand the toothpaste, he then put the toothpaste on the toothbrush and began to brush left to right always. After finishing that up he opened the bathroom door, took a report out to the backyard, and let him go to the bathroom. While the reporter did that he went and served report food in his bowl, filled up his water, and let him back in. While Report ate, Jake made himself breakfast, this was always difficult because Report would always want to come and bug Jake. Always bobbing between Jake's legs or trying to get up on the counter and eat whatever Jake was cooking that day. After making breakfast Jake would sit on the far side of the table get his laptop for his desk and watch the news and eat. This was a daily thing because Jake needed to be updated on what was going on in the world. After breakfast and watching the news Jake would go out to the front of the house to get the daily paper. He needed to be kept up with the daily local news and since he had done it this way since he was a boy he would continue to do so. When reading the paper he had to be very careful where he read it. Ironically, Report would love to eat the report, he would always try to swoop in and take it from Jake. This time Jake didn't notice that he was sitting on the couch rather than his chair in his office. This might be okay for anyone else but Report was a big labrador dog and could get up anywhere he chose. So as Jake was reading the local news *RIPPPPPP* Report jumped up on the couch and tore the report from Jake's hands as if it was a check toy. Jake sat there in silence with a blank look on his face, not a word from his mouth came. But as Report chewed up the report, Jake got off the couch slowly and then out of nowhere looked at Report and yelled at Report “You dumb dog always messing up my work” and hit him on the nose *SPLAT*. This made Report angry, he didn’t like it that his owner hit especially out of nowhere it was strange to him. Report decided to try and continue to play Jake to hopefully get him out of this funk. Although Jake was in no funk he was just made his paper was eaten. Jake had been done with the yelling and the paper and decided to do the rest of his work in his office. His office had no door so it's not like he could choose to let in or lock Report out, but he hoped that report would not come in. Jake was in his office typing up his new article on his daily blog and he'd been doing this for some time now. Report thought this would be the perfect time to come in and try to fix up the hurt feelings in the air. Report waltzes through and accidentally knocked over a lamp, Although, it didn't break it did distract Jake so again Jake yelled. This time Report did not appreciate this kind of yelling, so he went full-on sprint mode and went in for a hug by Jake. But in doing so he knocked over a wire, that knocked over a plant, which then dropped Jake's laptop onto the floor *SHPLAT*. Jake was so mad he yelled and yelled and pointed at the dog, all Report could think of was “wow he's using a lot of hand gestures”. This yelling went on for 10 minutes straight, Report was so tired of it and left the room. Jake went on working until the night. The night finally did come and Jake was still mad at Report but he knew he couldn't go to bed without his best bud. So he wandered over to the far side of the living room and picked up this large dog and took him to his bed. He looked straight into Report’s eyes and said “ Hey buddy I'm sorry for getting mad, it's just you messed up my work and you know how important it is' ' Report put his paw on Jake. “It's just sometimes you get a little crazy and I love that, you keep my life interesting, but when I'm working I'm working” Report licked Jake's face. Jake had no idea if Report registered any of that but he had apologized so he and Report went off to bed.
