I must confess that sometimes I root for Barkley (mea culpa, mea magna culpa). Our own Ivan the Terrier is probably even older that Barkley, and I find that I increasingly let him up on the bed.
In my new digs, the quadrupeds (3 dogs/1 cat) are not allowed bedroom access! Unless 'the PetMom' lets them in, 'cause she's a softy! The Cat got in my room last week, and it almost took a counterinsurgency team to extricate her - fortunately, she didn't take up residence. They love me, anyway...
Where's the dog? I don't see any dog. I'm a person in disguise. Just ignore all those dog-like habits such as licking disgusting things and walking on four legs."
One of my favorite canine magic tricks: A quick turn of your head and - VOILA! - a people-bed has magically become a pet bed with the wag of a tail. Unfortunately, this trick only seems to work people-to-pet and not back the other way :D
I started this blog for family far away and to share my life and writing with friends. Comments are welcome but please treat this place as you would visiting any friend. I want everyone to feel at home here. If you post advertising for a business or service and I do NOT know you, it will be reported as SPAM. Don't even bother.
Well, most people don't have their daily allotment of black dog hair, anyway. He's performing a service!

But you know how sentimental I am ...
"But Mom, this bed is more my size."

ReplyDelete"Are YOU talkin' to ME?!?!?!?!? Are YYYYOOOOOUUUUUUU talkin' to MEEEEE?!?!?!?!?"
ReplyDeleteSo this is the "dog's life" eh?? Wow!
Barkley is checking the firmness of the mattress prior to your company's arrival, to see that it meets certain standards of your household.
ReplyDeleteIf Barkley could speak, he might say,
ReplyDelete"But Ma, the bed on the floor looks really lumpy.
Where's the dog? I don't see any dog. I'm a person in disguise. Just ignore all those dog-like habits such as licking disgusting things and walking on four legs."
That's a "first dibs" look if I ever saw one.....with a tinge of "a-ha" in it, too.....
ReplyDelete"Futon isn't in my vocabulary"...
ReplyDelete"But Mooommmmmmmm!"

Classic.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I am graciously allowed on my bed by two large dogs and one reigning cat. Sometimes, I even get to use a pillow.
