    I am such a softie

    So yesterday morning, about this time (it is presently 2:07 AM central), I was sleeping, but awoke to my dog making this hacking noise...and then there was silence.  So me, being panicky mom, rushed and turned on the lights, and said "Strauss!?" Well, the bugger was absolutely fine...he just seemed to have choked on spit in his sleep (there are no bones or anything in his kennel, and nothing had fallen in).
     
    So me, being the clingy old softy dog mom I am, let him out of his crate....and he slept on the bed with me for the rest of the night (Which I don't usually allow because he shoves his big head under my pillow xD).
     
    But sometimes you just can't say no:

    Awww!  I'm a softie too......  like when the girl downstairs plays her bass-only music so high that my things on the wall fall off, I feel bad for Sammy being so close to the floor so I left him up the couch so it's not as annoying.  He also has learned that if he jumps up on the bed after we're sleeping we don't chase him off, lol.  I'm trying to get him to only come up when we invite him, but that's not working so well.  I'm just a sucker for a cute and furry face [:D]

    Its nice to know that I am not the only softie.  I let Abbi up in bed with us when it storms and when we go camping I let her up in the chair with me, which is really uncomfortable but I don't want her to have to sit in the dirt while we are relaxing around the fire.

    I'm so glad it's not just me xD  And he does know better than to come up on the bed uninvited, but when he is up there, he's in hog heaven, LOL

    Aw...I let Sam on the bed too.  He hogs the bed so he is only up there with us for a little while then jumps into his own bed.  He usually waits for us to go to bed too unless he's just so tired.   Sometimes about 1130pm we are watching Tv and will suddenly realize he is missing and sure enough....we find him in our bed fast asleep.

    Strauss is an awesome dog...
    Now he knows how to get you to let him in the bed.....[;)]
     
    I'm a softie too...Talus loves snuggling in bed with us...

    Well I guess I'm a softie too.  Bog hasn't had to sleep on the floor since the day I got him[&:]  But then again he usually/98% of the time waits to be invited.  Softies unite!

    Bedtime is snuggle time for me and my dog. She is invited, or asks and is allowed up in bed. It's an almost everynight "thing". She watches a little TV with me, or I talk to her and play with her toes. She has the best toes. She groans and gives great hugs back when I hug her. [:D]
     
    It's the special time at the end of a long day for us.

    She eventually goes down to her bed to sleep. Good thing too, since I'm at that special time of life when I burst into flames a couple times a night. [;)]
