Sneaky Dog

One of the spoiled things our dogs get to do is sleep with us at night on our bed.  I always allowed Mako on the bed pre-Kevin.  Then Kevin came in to the picture and liked cuddling with Mako at night too so that luxury continued.  When we got Kona obviously 2 dogs on a bed are a little different, but we couldn't resist and she was allowed up.  Now I'm so used to a doggily do by my feet at night I'm not sure I could sleep w/o that comfort.  So of course Mocha was grandfathered in to this sleeping habit of ours as well.

This is where the story starts with all 4 of us nestled in bed.  In the middle of the night I make what has become a routine trip to the restroom (thx little Hahm).  Now this has been a new part of the nightly routine for the dogs since usually there isn't a lot going on in the middle of the night.  I have learned that these dogs watch and observe everything and seem to know how to take advantage of good opportunities.  A good opportunity mixed with me being a sucker for their cuteness works for them on many occasions.  Well, Kona has a new thing she does every time I get up to use the restroom - Every time is not an understatement. 

I sleep with one pillow under my head and one beside me for comfort now that my back hurts a bit with the pregnancy.  Well, Kona has decided that the spot in between these pillows  (in the 90 degree angle spot) is an ideal sleeping condition for her.  When I leave the room it looks like no one is paying attention at all, but when I come back there is always a sneaky weimaraner in the space created by the two pillows.  Every night now I come back to this cute little circle shaped weimaraner in between my pillows.  It is amazing how she can form such a tight little snuggily circle so quick.  I get back every time and she acts like, "what, nothing new here to see".  The first couple of nights I made her get up and move, but now I realize her determination is stronger than mine so I just start with my pillow farther over so we both fit when I get back.  I know I'm a huge sucker.  But, to be fair I love having her all cuddled up with me so it kind of works for both of us.
