Oh they are comfort indeed and more. I think..err, no, I USE mine as my water bottles. One sleeping around ankles and other under arm and I'm snug as a pug.I have boy dogs but they love a cuddle.all our dogs have always slept in or around our bedroom they have beds but they are always welcome to come for a cuddle.
I find a dog to be a huge comfort and they help me sleep just knowing they are there gives me a kind of peace that I don't get from anything else.
when Benny died we found ourselves sleep-deprived every creak and groan in the house had us sitting up in bed thinking someone was breaking in. not that a 15-year old blind beagle would have saved us from anything bigger than a mouse.!
Aww....that sounds really cosy. Our friends know every movement we make and what it leads to. Do you share you tea and bickies with her too?Our morning routine is we get up, (Folly sleeps with me), she goes out in the back garden while I brew a cup of tea. She comes in and after getting the paper from the front door I sit in an armchair with the paper and tea. Folly jumps up, we have a few mins of fussing and chatting then she settles herself with her bum by my left hip and her head on my leg. We have around half an hour me reading the paper and drinking my tea with her ears getting fondled when my hands are free. She appears to enjoy the time and I have to say I love that half hour.
Blimey....you must be naturally early riser to keep that going. Morning lark perhaps? Yeah...going to work is bugger when we have such a nice company to look after.Oh how much I envy this...
My morning routine:
Wake up Baby Miles. This process starts around 5 am, and if I am lucky by 5:30 or 6 we are ready to roll out the door.
An hour walk. Sometimes longer, if he gets stuck somewhere on the way and refuses to move, or goes into “I want to jump on my human and rip his gloves apart” states.
Finally get back home, and feed the little beast, then play some nice and quiet game, after which he usually goes back to sleep.
Run to the shower, no time for breakfast, hop in the car and drive to the train station, sometimes catching the train to work, sometimes missing it.....
Weekend mornings are much nicer though! Really, need to stop working, I think... work interferes with life too much!
LOL....sometimes they do to show their best side, it is nice feeling when others can see too what our rose tinted glasses show for us . Drawing all that attention..I bet it made you day!Jasper's not a very cuddly dog - and can go from 'I love you, fondle my ears' to 'Don't TOUCH me!!' rather quickly - particularly in the morning. Not that I'm any different ..
..He must have been looking his best today - we were headed home from afternoon walk at school chucking-out time, and he decided to have a little lie-down on the verge, as he does. A schoolgirl walking past said, 'Your dog's nice' After a few minutes I managed to persuade him to get a move on, and as we set off again a car slowed down and the driver opened the window and called, 'I like your dog!'
(proud mum talk..) Well...my little pup is like a different girl! Being in season has taken wind off from her usually so full sails and she is relatively calm, had even her day time naps,so I've managed to have little bit of me time too! I'm living in hope that she might one day prove to be calmer adult, fingers crossed. So far so good....she almost mess free girl, looking after herself very well indeed. And to celebrate a good day, dogs are having a chew a piece and I have little something chest warming in my glass...cheers!Still rattling on...
Whoooaaa...I just notice my little one (6 1/2 months) have just started her first season..well the evidence is there so I suppose she is few days into it. Gosh...that feels bit 'early'...she is still a PUP! ....or was...
My other one was 8 months when her first one came up and that felt bit more appropriate, or at least had reach her full size. Older one was almost in shock when it started, didn't know what day it was and what was happening to her. I had to show her how to go on 'down there'. But little one, she is acting totally 'normal' and gets on with it like nothing has happened!? Hence it did came up unexpectedly and the start escaped my radar. There is always life's little surprises ahead.
They do grow up so quickly...puppy time doesn't take that long.
Talking about 'looking his best', your post just brought a sweet memory up about one of my old dogs. She was most friendly little girl, did know how to behave if she wanted to but usually she was more of a 'lively' one and very enthusiastic meeting and greeting people.Jasper's not a very cuddly dog - and can go from 'I love you, fondle my ears' to 'Don't TOUCH me!!' rather quickly - particularly in the morning.

We have slightly different morning routines depending on whether it's a weekday or weekend and whether I or OH get up first. Either way, either Jasper or the alarm wakes us up at 7am, if I'm up first I'll let him out, then feed him, then he wants to go out again. (OH feeds J after his breakfast.) Then he'll want his walk around an hour after that.

Sad (to me) news yesterday - Jasper's vet, 'Uncle Malcolm', is retiring I've been seeing him with assorted pets for well over 20 years and he's excellent. He's very down-to-earth and conservative, and never tries to sell you lotions & potions if he thinks a bit of salt water will do the job. Everyone loves Uncle Malcolm (with the exception of Jasper, who is always one to bear a grudge), there will be a lot of pet owners sorry to see him leave.
That's awesome.Folly jumps up, we have a few mins of fussing and chatting then she settles herself with her bum by my left hip and her head on my leg.
...but but...that is how it should be. The best cuddles are just like that! Though yours is a little bit larger 'pup'.... AWWWWWWWWW....who needs some air..over rated 'stuff'...That's awesome.
Baby Miles can be very cuddly. Especially on weekend mornings, when there is no need to wake up early.
Which was great when he was little, but now becoming a bit overbearing at times.
Then:
And now:
It is 'funny' how people's perception about dog's nature is often linked with their size...'larger they are and more they have to be aware'. Yeah, it makes sense that big mouth means big strong bite.The Mastiff cross is a lovely natured very friendly happy dog. But my friend, who in general is not very confident, feels perfectly safe walking it and I am sure if a fella was wandering round as a risk to a female she would be safe. In that as soon as they caught sight of her dog they would decide to leave her alone, Note that is not the reason she got it but it is a useful side benefit.
