Let sleeping dogs

My mum's dog has a big problem when Pulga and I come visiting. He has a big green bed, lovely and cosy and just the right size for him, but when my girl comes she squeezes her way into it with him, shoves her bottom around and makes a little space alongside. But if she gets in first, there is no way he on earth that he will push her out. He sits there grumbling and sulking until we make her get out. Sometimes its a dash to see who gets to the bed first, but usually she wins if she spots him making a move.
This time round, I bought her tartan bed, and both were quite happy by the fire, until Pulga got out, Finnegan squeezed himself into hers and she was left with his, much to her happiness as it was lovely and roomy, and much to his as he got his own small bed with no black thing joining him.

  4. What is it with dogs? They always want the other dog's bed and/or food! That's funny! Maybe your dog just likes his bed pre-warmed? What a fun drawing!

  7. LOL...love the story and the sketch! My cat never sleeps in his bed; that is until my uncle brings his chihuahua over. Then suddenly there is a territorial dispute over it!

  8. Lovely drawing a great dog story. What is it with dogs and sleeping arrangements? I have a lurcher and she has a HUGE bed, occaisionally my friend's little terrier comes to stay. They are absolutely best friends, and share the big bed, but if one wakes the other in the middle of the night it's 'handbags'...., until you settle them down and tuck them in :0)
