Got a dragon on my back

Spike's got a new Morning Ritual. It's - well, not quite a morning cuddle, but the closest thing I've ever had from my distinctly uncuddly dog.

First he jumps on me. That's not the new part, he's always woken me by jumping on me. But you know that thing dogs do, when they lie on their backs and roll and wriggle and thrash about in ecstasy? That thing that usually ends in them falling off the couch looking foolish?

He does that. On me. He lies on his back, on MY back - or on my chest, depending which way up I happen to be sleeping, and lets it rip, paws flailing and teeth snapping, snorting and sneezing and making happygrowl Wookiee noises, until one or both of us falls off the futon.

It's the most adorable thing I've ever seen, and he hasn't put my eye out with a flying paw yet. I love that dog so fucking much.
