Before I get to your smile post, I’d like to thank Beth Patterson at The Daily Dog Tag, for messaging me yesterday that my site was down. Apparently my hosting ran out, and I missed it. Thanks to Beth, the situation was quickly fixed.
Many times when I’m sharing my smile post with you, I don’t have an actual picture of whatever the dogs did that made me smile, and that is also the case today.
Last year, my bedroom was arranged so the side of my bed was against the wall. At that time, me and both dogs would somehow fit on this ‘full-size’ futon I use as my bed. Then at some point last year, we re-arranged the room so now only the headboard rests against the wall. And now, for some reason, the three of us no longer ‘fit’ on the bed.
We’ve also reached a point where the doors to the bedrooms say open and the dog has complete freedom, and can sleep wherever they choose.
Some nights, I have both dogs in the room with me, and other nights just one, and still other nights I have both of them. Since we no longer all ‘fit’ on the bed, it’s usually a competition to see who will get onto the bed first. There are rare occasions where both dogs ARE on the bed, but then usually after an hour or so, one of them gets down off the bed.
Some nights, I start off with one dog, and when I wake up, it’s the other dog that’s on the bed. AND THAT makes me smile.
You make me smile, (or laugh). The sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do that make me laugh or smile.
What did your dog do the made you laugh or smile this week.
Glad your blog is back up! We make mom smile so often, I can’t limit it to just one thing. Happy New Year’s Eve Day!
I so miss having a doggy with which to cuddle on the bed 🙁
I think you need a wildlife camera that is triggered by movement. I’d like to see all those midnight bed changes on the blog. 🙂
You should install a nanny cam to record all the nocturnal action.
Doggie-cuddly-cuddles are the best way to sleep. Well done, friends. Sometimes, I wiggle myself out from under the covers. Then I have to walk up to the top of the bed and stare at Mom and breathe on her till she wakes up and holds the covers up for me to get back in. That may not make her smile, but it makes ME smile!
Love and licks and Happy New Year,
Cupcake
That is sweet. Unless it is hot Hailey has a place on the bed. Phod will come up for snuggles when we first go to bed or in the morning but never stays!
I’d love to know where the other one is sleeping. Two of my dogs have all the same favorite spots, the third one is the renegade. She never has to compete for her favorite spot, the cold kitchen floor. I’m glad your site is back up!
Before Callie’s first ACL surgery, she and Shadow used to sleep on the bed with me at first, but then Shadow would get too warm and jump down to sleep on the floor. After Callie got her angel wings and before her own arthritis got so bad, Shadow slept with me almost every night. For everyone’s safety, Ducky sleeps in her crate at night. Happily, she’s quite content in her “safe room”.
Love the photo of Sampson! And glad your hosting issue is fixed!!
What fun to wake up in the morning, and not know who will be there! Luke likes to sleep in the chair sometimes, but mostly he’s with us. But once hubby gets up in the morning, Luke just takes his spot right over until he and I get up! Cricket is also with us all night, but she moves to the living room by the wood stove in the morning.
Aw, Sampson’s bliss! Happy new year, Jodi!
I have dog beds on either side of the bed. The smiles come in the morning when I tap the bed and up pop two standard poodles (usually across my legs and/or chest). I giggle as their tails nearly wag off and wait for them to settle in for 10 minutes or so before we get up. Best. part. of. the. day. Hope you had joyous holidays. Looking forward to many more smiles this year from your two fur-sweeties.
AWWWWWWWWW! I love that picture. Happy New Year!
