I’d decided that with Anneliese in heat it was easier to keep her close so that she wouldn’t chew up her little pants. So far, this has worked very well. She is a little doll in bed, curling up by my stomach, and cuddling me.
Of course the tough part is that Arnie was alone and he really hated that. So we’ve been trying to get him to sleep with us too. Now this isn’t so easy. Arnie likes to stretch out and is bold enough that he will try to push you out of bed.
So half way through the night he would be unceremoniously dumped back in his crate. That was, until last night. The boy finally settled down and slept well.
Thus giving us a “three dog night“.
Greta sleeps comfortably by Hubby’s feet, and in the morning comes up for a cuddle with us both. Fritz sleeps by the door, forever on guard. Yes, it really is amazing how our little family huddles together now in slumber.
Of course in another few days we will have to put Arnie back in his crate until Anneliese finishes off her heat. I’ll miss the little guy then. But for now, it’s nice having him with us.
I am just thankful that my bed dogs are dachshunds and not St. Bernards!
Haha, that sounds so comfy… but you’re right, thank God your dogs are “only” dachshunds!!
Picture a Greyhound, curled up in a ball, at your feet, alongside the cat… There is not much room!!!
Thing is, I want a Great Dane as well!!!
You must have a big bed – Wolfie is always fussing if I move so he leaves!!
Hahaha ! I can see the picture ! That would be the same here with 4 cats !
Hi Mom,
Hope you have a great Friday! I’m looking forward to our shopping trip tomorrow! Can we maybe meet at 11, rather than 10:30? I have a date tonight, so just in case I’m looking to sleep in a bit longer? Let me know what you think!
(Went on a date last night too!)
Love you! Can’t wait to catch up!
xoxox,
Mandy
have yourself a great week-end and thanks for your encouraging words…I am praying that ths goes through me fast and leaves me alone – FOREVER!!
thanks again
