But, I am in my new home with my new smaller bed. I have had a queen sized bed since I was 5. No really, it's true. I have been downsized to a full. I am sharing my bed with a cat and two dogs. Austin weighs a full 11 and Bella, oy, 96 lbs. She takes over most of my bed.
I present exhibit A:
Now, Bella and Austin are back to back and you can barely see him. The little gray schnauzer is a foster I was taking care of that my parents have since adopted. Anyway, that is how Bella sleeps. Um, I not 2 ft tall. Just where do my legs go??? I sleep at odd angles and gently push her out of my way. As I type, she is sprawled across my pillows.. Yeah, sister, that ain't happening! But, she looks so pretty and peaceful. I am such a sucker for her. :)
Exhibit B- Yeah, that is my foot sticking out and she is using my leg as a pillow....
Anyway, I am currently on the hunt for a new bedroom set and new bigger mattress. I can't believe the price of things! Being a grown up is not that much fun. I miss when my parents bought me the big stuff! Anyhow, for those that think there isn't much of a difference, you have never shared a bed with a large dog or multiple pets for that matter. I am planning on adding a lab to the mix within the next few years, plus another cat.....but, I might be rethinking that plan.
I do love my pets. And, I still miss my Rhaja. Here is the last picture ever taken of her.
I think of her often and think I hear her jump up on my bed at night. Alas, it's all just a dream. I know that she is still watching over me.
