When Ray invited himself to become part of our lives, I had no problems with him sharing our home. I had no problems if he chose to sleep on my bed but …
… when he lays there basically waiting for his breakfast ,,,
… or when he clearly expects the pillows-end of the bed, regardless of how accessible it is …
… or when he sees an opportunity to take over more than half the bed …
… I really have to question whether I have been perhaps a little too generous with my hospitality?
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Such sweet photos of Ray at rest!

He’s very good at resting but then, he works at it very hard every day! 🙂

How can you ignore that face? And it’s wonderful how comfortable he is given his background. 😊

Give a dog an inch and he’ll take over the whole bloody bed. 🛌

Absolutely! It does seem to be typical canine behavior. 🙂

Hubby’s already been ousted into the spare room so Maggie and I have the big bed. He says it’s to stop disturbing us with his own restlessness. Hm. Her ladyship starts curled up, but by morning she is stretched diagonally across the bed, pillow to foot, and I have a little wedge in the top corner! She is one loooonnnng dog!

It amazes me how much dogs can stretch. Ray can reach up and put his paws on Carol’s shoulders. It must be quite a surprise to be standing there and suddenly getting a paw on each shoulder and a face right in front of you.

Maggie’s paws will reach as far as my chest, though she’s a bit wobbly as her back legs aren’t as strong as they were. She likes to be close though, but not so much ‘in your face’ as before, we think because she can’t focus at close quarters.

The problems of aging. We’re all going to be wobbly and squinting at everything before too long! I already have occasional balance issues; already wear glasses; already have hearing aids. I guess I am already there! 🙂

We did a lot of soul searching on that concept, and decided that it would help him adjust if he had free roaming rights! Sometimes it is nice to have a heated furry cushion to curl around. 🙂
