OMG it looks like my bed! Well the multiple dog part anyway. Now imagine this, as I slip in from the studio and the room is dark and I fumble with the covers cuz there is an animal or two in the way of actually folding down the cover to climb in and there’s a big disruption, animals get up and stretch for a moment after the disturbance of yet another body wanting to claim space in this limited space. And it was cold in the studio and I want to move my butt closer to my sleeping wife but there’s an animal in the way. And then another animal settles between my knees and rests a head on my leg and I’m pinned down for the night, warm now, dreams briefly before someone or something has to pee or merely fake having to pee to go out and bark at something I care nothing about at 3:30 AM!
Do you see the Vizsla under the blanket? That’s her preferred spot and we like it because it means we don’t get pinned down by dog-weighted blankets. There are usually several cats in there as well, but Maggie doesn’t sleep in our bed at night because she goes crazy several times a night (she’s the dalmation) and Dobby (the light tan dog front left in photo) usually sleeps in the living room with her. It’s a lovely bed but sometimes we just lock them all out for awhile so that we can actually use our bed. We let them back in later.
Yeap, sounds like home to me! Lol! the image of the dogs getting locked out is priceless! I can’t imagine there is no protest, scratching at the door and whining “mom you don’t love us anymore!” Luckily Ruthie and Tuff often fall asleep in the dinning room in their bed shortly after we finish eating but not before checking out the leftovers. So there is a wee bit of time in the late evening before they come to again and move off to finish the night out in our bed. Our cat just shuffles off disgusted and sits in the window to swat at moths attracted to the candle light.
