What we seem to have here is a failure to communicate. Now, listen; I grew up never letting dogs on the bed. Cats, sure, cats are clean. Dogs, dogs are not.
I know, I know, you're right, they do scratch around in the litterbox and then lick their own paws. However, you and I both know that we've never seen a cat roll in something undescribable in the yard, or throw itself into my fish pond, unlike your charming self.
You have a perfectly good set of wonderful, orthopedic dog beds on the floor. In fact, all of the other dogs find them absolutely fantastic, and are right now as we speak, cuddled up in them. Simon's even on his back with all four paws in the air and snoring.
Your brother has no problems accepting that well, there are some things in life that dogs must regrettably do in order to balance out the fact that humans feed you, devote our lives to your well-being... and for goodness sake, we even stand there with in the cold with a baggie while you debate exactly what is the perfect spot. That's love, right there.
In conclusion, now that we've come to an understanding... get on your own side of the bed. Thank you.
(Hey, I can't help this one tonight -- I'm as sick as... well, the dogs are always healthy, thank goodness. I think I have the flu - it's totally knocked me for a loop. Last night, I half-dazedly remember pondering about getting up and going to the kitchen to get something, but not really. When realized that I was actually standing there, the Cardis and the cat had followed and were looking up at me, in a rather worried way. Apparently, I don't often just stand in the kitchen at three AM. They had a good point.)

Hope you feel better soon!
The corgis and I wish you a speedy recovery. Get lots of rest and snuggles and you will feel better in no time.
I hope this is the 24-hour variety and that you're up and feeling well by this evening.
Speedy recovery and the boys love to take care of their moms.
Hope you feel better soon!
Miss Ana helped herself to the bed last night. I just changed the sheets and was washing the comforter and Mark went in to find her nose poking out from under all the pillows...
I love me some bad dogs!
Get well soon! My mom once babysat my Caleb and got the brilliant idea to let him sleep on the bed with her, because she thought a "little" dog on the bed would be cute. She called me the next morning and informed me that she didn't know how he had done it, but he had somehow managed to take up ALLLL of the queen sized bed and she woke up to find herself practically falling off the edge of the bed. That was the last time Caleb got to share the bed with my mom. Hahaha.
Great blog post! GREAT!!
I hope you feel better soon....
Ugh, the joys of being sick. I hope you get it cleared up fast!
