Poor doggo has just woken up.

Poor Jack — it’s not fair to laugh. I’m not too great when I’ve just woken up, either. Especially not before a few gallons of coffee.

Jack’s not allowed coffee.

In his sleep, his lip had ridden up exposing his fang.

Even with his ivory on show, he doesn’t look that fierce. I expect he could if he tried, though. He probably would if I kept waking him up just to take a photo …

I took the picture and let him go back to sleep. Next time I looked at him his tooth had been tucked away.
