Another Raphael story

Hi G-Fans!
Well, there doesn't seem to ever be a lack of subject matter to discuss, more a lack of time.
After I published my thoughts last night there was some drama I chose to remain aloof from....
But I will fill you in...
The concierge had finally settled in for the night, at a late hour I might add, and Riley and I were chillin'.  The concierge hadn't dropped into a deep sleep yet, she was still breathing on the light side.
Raphael started to bark.
The concierge requested that he not.
He did it a bunch more times.
The concierge requested he quiet down a bunch more times.
He didn't.
So the concierge went down without any of her visual aids to "see" what the problem was.  At which time Riley and I had been locked into the inner sanctum.  I am really glad I was deeply and soundly asleep or there would have been another thing I would have found unacceptable.  Raphael was standing at attention and grumbling.  He was being ornery.  not his usual attitude.
So the concierge let the "younguns" out.  
She waited for them to come in.  
And waited.  And waited.  
Bertie finally came and then Tessa.  Raphael was giving the concierge the "I can't hear you" treatment.  In the background at this ridiculous hour, there was nonstop barking from another dog on another street.  He sounded upset according to the concierge.
The concierge finally had waited long enough and went outside in her pj's and brought him in.  The concierge could not identify any issues he may have been feeling or experiencing.
Everyone went to bed.
The concierge nested between me, Riley and Snagglepus.  I doubt 15 minutes passed before Raphael started barking again.  The concierge waited him out for a few minutes to see if he was reacting to the barking dog or he was having a situation.
The concierge got up again, this time she remembered her glasses.
She checked the grumbling Rapahel and decided it had to do with his tummy.  So she gave him a homeopathic sleep aid and some Vanilla Mylanta and rubbed a tapped his belly.  She stayed with him for at least a half hour and probably closer to an hour.  He finally put his head on the concierge;s slippers (her feet were still in them) and drifted off to sleep.  After a few minutes the concierge slipped out of her slippers and went off to bed, only to be roused by the alarm too soon after.
Raphael acted fine all day today and he has been sleeping now for over an hour.
So, it seems he is back on track and not being fresh.
Yay.
May you find enough time in the day to gather a deep satisfying sleep so your are rested and focused every day.
TTFN!

"I cant believe I ate the whole thing!"  "You ate it Raph!"

If everyone behaves things will go smoothly....
