Senseless Sunday Sarcasm : #Dogs
This is why I love my dogs.
See the brown leg sticking out on the upper right corner? That’s where I had been sleeping 5 minutes prior.
I’ve learned the art of sliding my body away from all the arms, legs, and backs without waking the dog bodies.
When I walk toward the front door after work, they pile outside to greet me. Each face says, “I’m so happy you’re home.”
The only argument we have is over bed space. They all want to sleep next to me. If I’m not on the bed, they want to be near my scent.
However; crawling into bed is one hell of an an exercise routine.
I read that during the potato famine, when half of Ireland was coming to America, each person traveling on the cheap was allotted 18 inches of sleeping space.
That’s the width of a modern keyboard, from Caps Lock to the enter button on the number’s pad.
I might have 16 inches, but that doesn’t take into consideration that I often have an entire dog draped over my legs.
See the brown doggie surrounded by 3 other canine companions? His name is Prince.
Disney always told me that someday my prince would come. I didn’t know he would be a dog.
Love this. I now have only one cat – and she’s determined to keep it that way – but once I had a dalmation and a whippet along with two cats and a small double bed (there was a husband there, too) so I sort of know what you put up with.

It looks like there are six dogs in the picture. Is that all of them? Maybe you need a king-sized bunk bed.

Sometimes there are 8 on my bed. It’s king sized. Good thing I’m skinny.

We only have two small dogs now and it’s much easier. The old Staffie was an immoveable lump. It was sad though when she could no longer make it up to the bed because her arthritis was too bad. We’d moved a small stool next to our bed, which helped her for over a year, but when she gave us up for a dog bed (there are dog beds on the floor, even though they don’t get used) she would jump down if we lifted her up to our bed – which must have been painful – so we stopped trying. She was a tough old dog but she didn’t quite make it to 16.

It’s so hard to see our doggies get old and arthritic.I’ve created a bed on the floor out of 7 moving blankets and a memory foam bed topper (which is in the middle of the moving blankets). It’s better for my back and it can be made harder or softer by taking away or adding blankets. My dogs love it, too.

I love them all dearly.
They are among the lucky dogs. I live in the countryside where people abandon their dogs and cats. Chilly Coon Kitty and his brother were dumped in the woods near us when they were 4 – 5 months old Pretty Pittie was dumped, and so was Dingo Mutt. I would like to take the people who do stuff like that and dump them in the middle of nowhere.

Have you tried keeping your bedroom locked until you get into bed?

I have. Once I get into bed, the whining and whimpering start. I can’t sleep until they’ve all piled into bed with me. 😊
