Widget sleeping with nose on bed

I always tell blind Widget her nose reminds me of a black olive.  Alayne saw her sleeping like this, that little nose pressing down the edge of the bed, and got the photo.  And there it is … my black olive.

I know I've mentioned this before, but for any new-to-the-blog folks, this is normal for how her eyes look when she's sleeping.  Her eyes are comfortable, but she doesn't always close them when sleeping and her third eyelid pops up part way.  This has to do with the shape and size of her eyeballs.

(The big wad of brown paper in the background came from a box someone had shipped us, and we're using it for fire starter in the wood stove.)

Here's another view of my sleeping black olive:

She had opened her eyes after the repeated clicking of the shutter woke her up.  I know, it's rude to wake a sleeping olive beauty!

    Just curious. Do you have to put drops in her eyes? Don’t they dry out like that?
    You can tell Widget puts in a long hard day ( yeah right)
