Okay, when we were talking about getting a dog we agreed on three things: We wanted a male dog, he should be named Sigurd and most importantly - he shouldn’t sleep in our bed!
So we bought him a nice doggy bed and told him that would be where he should sleep. He cried all night…unless one of us had our arm in his bed, then he would sleep peacefully! This went on for a while but one night we were so tired and in our sleep pulled the arm out of his bed … he didn’t cry, no, he climbed in to our bed and slept peacefully!
Since that night he has been sleeping in our bed and we must admit, we love it. He cuddles up beside us, kisses us goodnigt, moans a little, sighs…… and snores!!
Tired of fighting for our pillows we went out and bought him a little baby pillow and pillow casings to match ours - don’t say it - we know - we are crazy!
That’s the way it’s been for years - recently we then bought a new bed, a tall bed so it would be easier to get in and out of bed and wouldn’t you know?! Sigurd is afraid of that bed!! He is not able to jump onto this new bed, well, he tried and all that ended up with was a big bang! We carried him into bed then but then he jumped off and that also ended with a……yes you guessed it! It was awful, we feared he had broken every bone in his little body when he hit the wooden floor! Then we placed a chair at the foot of the bed as some kind of stairs for him to use. And he did and everything was fine.
Until one morning he was getting out of bed and the chair rocked a little and made a noise! Danger! So now he’s afraid of the bed and the chair! Sigh!
So now, we carry him in bed a night and out of bed in the morning…. and we love doing it for our little Sigurd, the joy of our hearts.
