This weekend my wife had to get up early on Saturday morning to volunteer for a fundraising event. I wasn’t involved in the event, so I chose to sleep in a little. I love to sleep in. It is a luxury I don’t often get to indulge in, so when I get the chance, I quickly take it.

When I woke, I was surprised to find that our three dogs were enjoying lounging in bed as much as I was. In fact, they were lounging in bed with me! Libby was laying in my wife’s usual spot with her head on the pillows. Belle was laying on my feet. Emmet was curled up at the foot of the bed. Since it was one of the coldest mornings of the winter, having a little extra body heat from three softly snoring dogs was a welcome addition.

So — what did I do when I realized that all three dogs were in bed with me? Simple. I snuggled up to Libby and went back to sleep. Isn’t that what you’d do?
