Widget, our blind Beagle/Dachshund mix, spends her days developing and then implementing new and innovative sleeping positions in our living room.  She spends her nights in one of our dog cottages, Kelly’s Cottage, but it’s not quite clear to us what she’s actually doing in there.  In the morning, when we let her and the other dogs out, she comes into the house and promptly goes to sleep.  Widget acts like she’s had a hard night out.

I took this photo today at lunchtime.  It shows Widget in a previously unknown sleeping position.  We decided to call this one ‘Beached Porpoise Meets Slumberville.’  You may not be able to tell from the photo, but her head is entirely off the chair and resting on the blue pillow underneath her.

And yes, in case you’re wondering, all the furniture in the living room … with the exception of a single recliner … has been surrendered to canine use.
