To say that Maddie is a creature of habit is a huge understatement. Maddie is a control-freak of habit. We walk at 7:15 am. Maddie barks me off the couch at 7:07. She used to bark me off the couch at 7:10, but she began starting earlier when she realized that I often had to make a pit stop before we could leave.

We return from our walk about 7:45 and we sit until 8:00. At 8:00, we have toast. Well, at least I begin the toast making process. Again, if I don't start by 8:00, she does, and she barks at me.

Monday, Maddie was tired. Weekends sometimes leave her a little worn out. Don't ask me why. She was asleep on her end of the couch. I was trying to figure out why my Block Gallery wasn't visible on my blog (see update below). The Editor looked over at the sleeping pup and said, "maybe she's too tired to go for…" – She wasn't able to finish.

"We're going for our walk...right?"

Maddie sat up and started crying.

"Who says I'm too tired? I'm not too tired. I want to go for a walk. It's time for our walk. Let's get going! And, when we get back, we'll have toast."

WP Update – I chatted with a very nice Happiness Engineer on Monday. The problem with the block gallery seems to be mainly in the preview operation. She has opened a ticket on that. While chatting, I mentioned the problem with the Masonry gallery option. That problem, if you don't remember is that if you step into the slideshow of a Masonry Gallery (Manja's Thursday Doors posts, for example) you will have problems leaving a comment.

After exiting the gallery, if you press the letter 'A' or 'D' you will be dragged back into the gallery. After giving the HE one of Manja's URLs, and specific instructions, she was able to recreate the problem. It seems, A & D are keys by which you can Advance and Go back (or whatever D stands for). Apparently, those keys stay linked to that behavior even when you exit the slide show. She also opened a ticket on that. Still unable to preview the gallery, I am sticking with the Classic Block today.
