Two Dog Night

It’s always a two dog night at our house. With her short hair, Delilah likes to crawl completely under the blankets and curl up next to me.  Jasper opts for sleeping on top of the covers.  I end up snugly in the middle of them, all of us toasty and cozy warm. 

And any of you out there who sleep in a bed with your animal family know the special challenge we all face.  Yes, it’s the interesting positions you adjust your body into, so as not to disturb the dogs.  We twist and turn into oh-so-special contortions, making only minute adjustments for the sake of the pack. 

I don’t understand people who say their dogs can’t get on the bed or the couch or the chair or wherever…  In the words of Anne of Green Gables, “Oh, Marilla, how much you miss.”  And, p.s., giving dogs access to the furniture doesn’t effect training issues in a negative way.  If anything, it enhances the trusting relationship you want to build with your dogs.

Shambala experiences to all you dog lovers out there…rock on.
