Snuggle & Tangled

Ben said that he woke up last night at 2am and noticed that a light was on. He got up and found Linkan lying with Boss and petting him. As soon as she saw daddy, she started crying and said her legs were tangled. That's her way to describe growing pains in her legs. (She also describes a yeast infection as "hippos are biting me".) :-)

I asked her about it today and she said that she was cold so she curled up next to Boss under his blanket. She giggled when she told me that. Made me laugh. 

No matter how many times we've told her that it's ok to come wake us up in the middle of the night, she still won't do it...stating that she thinks we'll get mad at her. We've never told her that we would be mad and never have been mad if she wakes up in the night needing something. Silly girl. :-)

In the end, I'm sure Boss appreciated the extra snuggle time he got from little love.

New Dog Beds

This is Boss. He is our first "baby". He is our 10 year old Great Dane/mastiff mix pup that we've had since we picked him up from his mama's farm in Oklahoma. I love him so. He's just like a person and he's a great dog. We've had so many wonderful adventures together - the three of us. Things have changed a bit since we added his little sis (Stella, our mastiff) and our two human babies but it doesn't change our history and how much we love our old guy. He got to come to grandma and grandpa's house for Thanksgiving and loved running around the playground while the kids played on the swings. He gets attention wherever he goes and he eats it up.

Some days, I think we don't deserve such a sweet creature.

Anyway, I got completely fed up with our dog bed situation a couple a months ago. He had an orthopedic bed which was feet but it was 5 years old, very worn and very smelly - even though I washed the cover every week. The zipper finally busted and the rest was white trash history. So, we picked up a couple of used mattresses on Craigslist for $10 each and ordered duck canvas covers from Bow Wow Pet Beds. They custom make covers for toddler beds for large breeds. No Zipper. Super durable duck canvas. Brilliant.

Cheap, comfortable and cute. Love.
