Pax in Bed

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all have had a wonderful week and I hope you have a beautiful weekend ahead of you!  We are going to fire up the grill tonight and probably spend the entire weekend outside in this beautiful weather.  

I woke up this morning, hopped into the blogosphere, and read this post.  Then I went over to the good 'ole NYT and read this article on pets in bed and realized that as I was reading, I had our lovely Florida brown dog, Pax, at my feet.  In my bed.

First of all, let me explain my reaction to this article.  I thought, "Our dog doesn't sleep in our bed!  We make sure to put him on his bed on the floor every night before we go to bed!  He knows his place!"  

Then, I stopped and came back to reality.

Fact of the matter is that every single night, like clock work, Pax will wait until the Mr. and I are fast asleep, quietly get up off of his bed and climb up at the foot of ours and snuggle up at our feet.  We don't even realize he's gotten on our bed until the morning.  Except for the times when he decides to sleep on our feet, and come to think of it, those times are not few and far between.  That actually happens quite often. So I guess actually, we do notice him in our bed.  All the time.

The truth is that Pax sleeps in our bed every single night and we do absolutely nothing to stop it.

Anyway, reading this article made me smile this morning so I thought I would share it with you all.  Tell me, do you have pets in your bed?  Don't be ashamed. 

After all, how could we possibly resist that face.  

Here's to lots of snuggling with your pets this weekend.
