I, however, can&#8217;t sleep due to constant nose blowing and sore throat. I lay awake for almost a half an hour when I hear something walking through the leaves in our front yard (our bedroom window faces the front yard). I look out the window and see Sam sniffing around the front yard. My makeshift repairs to our rickety backyard fence which was damaged by a fallen branch last winter have apparently not held up well in the high winds. I go open the front door an let the dog into the laundry room where I keep him until I get up in the morning and can actually do something about the fence. I finally fall asleep around 4.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>5:30am<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The La wakes up again and seems to think that it&#8217;s time to get up.
