Socks even now hops on my bed every night. Suspect it is a dominance thing—height is dominance to a dog and is why dogs should not be allowed on the furniture.

Off to town today, going to buy the bitch a new, bigger bed. Then will ensure she stays there the night.

Had made a new batch of pasta-cheese-eggs-veges last night, half a bag left over so that was her breakfast. Should have seen her hoe into that Grin

Saturday a day of lure coursing—christ but she can run!

Socks would be trying to take advantage of your body warmth.

My parents have two large grown dogs that act like complete babies. Mum and Dad spoil both of them. During the winter months, they like to hide in the bedroom as much as they can. When they get their jackets put on them, they know that they are going to go outside in the cold, but onto their warm sheltered beds. You should see how reluctant they get to get out of the bedroom and even go to the lounge. When I leave from my visit, they know that it is their time to be outside for the night. Mum and Dad only keep the dogs inside on a Sunday night because they know that the female dog might injure herself chasing the garbage truck(s).

Our dog we had from my childhood would get put out in the cold, and he did not have a ready made bed to sleep upon. He would be let in the house in the morning, and he would spend the day sleeping. I guess he did not sleep much in the night. My sister moved into the downstairs room. She had a heater to use during the winter. Our dog would beg for her to let him sleep in the room to keep warm.

Socks loves ya. But, I bet she wants to keep warm more.

A little while ago Socks got entangled or grabbed one of the cables and pulled my Mac Mini off my desk. Computer ended up upside down on the floor. Was working upside down there until I restored it to its proper position and orientation.

The Mac Mini was working whilst it was upside down on the floor. Then it was relocated to it's proper position and orientation.

Are you one of those people that gets confused when someone says "What's that up on the road... ahead?"

With the age of my mattress, and the springs poking through, Socks can have my mattress when I get it replaced with a new or second hand mattress.

So far, my feet have avoided the scratching that my back suffered.

Posts: 48823 Gender:	Re: Socks Reply #103 - Jun 14^th, 2024 at 5:52pm I turned my mattress over once a year—the shape of my body in the position I usually sleep in would be imprinted on the mattress. Can’t do that with the present mattress but can rotate it I guess. Is very comfortable!

I turned my mattress over some months back. But then I found that the mattress had the springs sticking through them. I persisted with it for a while. But, I gave up and turned the mattress back over. Mum and Dad are going to assist with me getting a new mattress from one of the furniture stores. They have a trailer to transport the new mattress.
