Dog Bed.

My friend Kate sent me an email about dog rules recently. I modified slightly, but it has been true so far in my almost two years with Belle.

DOG RULES

1. The dog is not allowed to sleep with the humans on the bed.

2. All right, the dog is allowed on the bed, but ONLY by invitation.

3. The dog can sleep on the bed whenever she wants, but NOT under the covers.


Belle used to be very good at putting herself to bed in her dog bed if she thought I stayed up too late working on school stuff. She still puts herself to bed, but on my bed. Whoops.

It's a lost cause. I like when Belle sleeps with me. She is warm and cuddly, keeps my feet cozy during the winter and stays away from my face with her sweet doggy breath. And I like when she lays on the bed next to me while I work at my desk because then I can pet her whenever I want.

I love that dog. Because she doesn't judge and always forgives.

We all need a little of that kind of love.
