Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

We learned a long time ago that 4 dog beds are tooo many and 3 are tooo few. Go figure. When we have 4 dog beds Dudley & Abigail will always share. However, when there's only 3 beds, Dudley is too good to share with Abby without being prodded, poked and physically moved. So, when I got home from knitting last night, and everyone had settled this was the sight that greeted me - Abby on one bed, see how she hogs most of it by the way she positions her body? Dudley laying on one bed all by himself. Amazing how big a small dog can make himself - no?
Beau was taking up an enitre bed by himself. Although he's a big dog, so not so much of a hog! Then, if you look at the last photo - poor Lucy is laying on the floor, between the beds and the loveseat. She was chewing on a bone, so don't feel too sorry for her, but still - the floor is hard and cold!
This morning I did a search on both amazon and barnes and noble for a book tht B&N has on display in their window. It's either called My Dog is as Stinky as Smelly Socks or My Dog is as Smelly as Stinky Socks. Obviously this is a childrens book. However, just the title cracks me up. I have never gone looking for it in the store and I couldn't find it on the two websites. But I want this book - badly. JB won't let me get it, because obviously if you've ever had a hound or been around one you know they truly are as stinky as smelly socks!!
Happy DOT!!

  1. It's true!!!! Beau is a lot more likely to 'stink' than either of the goldens.
    Here's the Amazon link to the book

  2. They look so sweet when they are asleep (or occupied). I have never had a dog that didn't stink. O

  3. It's amazing how much like kids dogs can be isn't it? Just when you think you have things figured out (3 vs 4 beds) they go and pull a fast one on ya!!

  4. LOL, its a rule of thumb or something... no matter what # you pick, its never right with dog beds! Then there's always a Queenie who wants whatever bed anyone else has...

  8. Little dogs live to stretch out over the entire bed. We've measured Roscoe at almost three full feet in one of his bed-hog stretches but it's our bed he's trying to take over, not a dog bed. I always enjoy photos of sleeping dogs. They're such angels when they're asleep.

  9. LOL! Goofy dogs :-) Just when you think you got them figured out they do just opposite of what you think. I wish Abby and Sophia would share a bed more often but Sophia usually hogs the beds even though she's only eight pounds and Abby is 60.

  10. Sweet photos, and now *I* want that book. So far, Sissy is too clean to stink. She's quite the groomer, and even stops eating to find a piece of kibble that falls from her jowls to the floor... I hope it lasts a lifetime!

  11. That is too funny. Mine would never share a bed. They barely will share our full bed. IF Abby moves too close to jackjack he'll get up and leave. She does move a lot though. :)
