For the 12 1/2 years that Mommy and I have lived together, I've consistently refused to sleep on any bed. I don't like mom's bed. I don't like the guest bed. And here's the kicker......I don't like doggie beds, either! I prefer to sleep on the hardwood floor or the kitchen tile or in my doggie crate.
Of course, it's MY choice where I sleep. But it drives mom crazy! For the past 4-5 years, as I've gotten older (14 now but DON'T call me geriatric!), slowed down, and started showing signs of arthritis, mom has continued to buy and bring home different kinds of doggie beds. Probably 8 or 9 beds over the past few years. And I NEVER use them! My kitty sisters like them but I could care less! And then yesterday a new chapter in my life began......
Mom decided to go ahead and throw more money away, oops, I mean buy a new doggie bed. She brought one home- it was different then the other ones. I sniffed it, turned a couple of circles on it, and then laid down and fell asleep, ON THE DOGGIE BED! I like this bed! I slept on it all night and then again today for my afternoon nap! Woo-hoo! Way to go Mom!!!!!!
Of course, I have to share it with my kitty sister. Lucy keeps kneading it and trying to nurse from it. Kitties are weird. *sigh*
love,
Sophie
