On usurping the bed

Dearest boy,

you know that the AC isn't working in our bedroom and K and I are sleeping in the guest room since the past 4 weeks. The bed in the guest room is meant for, you know, mostly my mom, or guests who obviously are not long staying. It is therefore a comfortable king sized cot and not the super large one we are used to.

The placement of the AC duct also is such that it hits the cot near the bottom part. And that is where all the trouble has begun. From a pup who never wanted to get onto the bed and sleep, you have turned into a lout who never wants to get off the bed. Grappling as we are with lesser surface area, we now have to accommodate a giant dog on the sleeping area.

You climb on, settle onto my blanket and render me immobile for the rest of the night. Pray why can't you sleep on K's side of the bed? Or why can't you get off of my blanket?

For starters, I know you are a big boy, but amma needs to get some sleep too you know! and I am too polite to kick you off the bed. So be nice and learn to move a little when nudged

Resisting Sleep

Its 9.12 a.m as i write this. I am in the study and you have possessively taken the aqua cushion that you think is your property and are tossing it around. I have been trying to get you to sleep for the last hour...you are doing everything you can not to....i miss those days when i was able to con you, all i had to do was carry you into the bedroom, put you on the cushion and close the curtains or turn off the lights to darken the room and lie down. in less than a minute, you would be asleep. now you have a mind of your own, and its getting quite stubborn.

first i thought you waited for K to wake up and give you time, then for him to get dressed and leave for office...now what? the house is silent but for the sound of me typing on the keypad...its pretty chill for a november morning ... and you are refusing to sleep....i have been ignoring you the last one hour... doesnt seem to work....

So for a pup that woke up around 5 a.m, had two rounds of food and milk, three walks and 20 minutes of play time, you are just holding up on willpower...i have just one thing to say to you - "go the hell to sleep!"
