Then he would wend his way between wheels, trucks, legs \u2013 sniffing for anything tasty that might have crept in through the night \u2013 there was always a rat or several mice available \u2013 there was a tannery next door \u2013 Whitey would have a field day all hours of the day with his open smorgasbord.<\/p>\n<p>Truck drivers always liked coffee when they came into the yard, so there were always morsels to eat from each of them as well as the usual plate of kibbled food that Keith or his dad would pour into his bowl twice a day.\u00a0 Then the first trucks would be gone by 4.30am, Whitey was always busy during the early morning hours of every day \u2013 checking out who was going out and to where.\u00a0 Had he been a human, then no doubt he would have been their despatcher as Whitey knew everything from those wheels \u2013 exactly where they were going and coming from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/losingsleepbecauseofyourcatpt4.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/mininginspacept7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/lifestyle\/5-tips-to-get-your-cat-to-let-you-sleep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Getting Your Cat To Sleep<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And with Keith being a workaholic, he had 3 jobs \u2013 his sleep pattern was never the same on any given day \u2013 and wherever Keith had to sit before and during work hours, he trained himself to doze off even if it was just for a few minutes at a time.\u00a0 This habit of&hellip;
