Morning Ritual

The closest thing we have to the bench shown in the beautiful piece of art by Namio is a Queening Chair.  Mistress has used it for various purposes, including to feed me Her wonderful tasting chardonnay.

But lately Mistress has been prone to use me for Her morning pee.  It's one of the first things most people do when they first get up in the morning.  

i'm usually up first and get Mistress' tea going.  

i used to get my own coffee going at the same time.

Now i am not allowed to make that pot of coffee for myself until later.

The first thing each morning i'm allowed to drink comes from Her.

It's usually a stronger version of the vintage i would taste later in the day, a result a full night's resting and the fermentation that comes with that. 

Only when i'm done am i allowed to start my coffee.  As much as i love a strong cup of coffee, i often delay that first cup so that i can savor Mistress' taste for a while longer.
