Spinner half on cot

Alayne took this photo on a recent morning after we had let the dogs back in. Blind Willie had managed to find the cot in the solarium at one end of the dog room and made himself at home. The problem was that this is blind and deaf Spinner's spot — and she was not expecting to find someone else sleeping there. She couldn't convince the wayward Beagle to abandon the cot, but nor was she going to abandon her right to her cot. Thus an awkward compromise — and position — was born.

And as you can see, she really intended to settle in to assert her rights, no matter how awkward it might be:

Wilbur and Mitch update:  Both boys came through their eye surgeries today in great shape, and we plan on picking them up tomorrow.

    That is so funny—I laughed out loud big time. James said that is called “stubborn!”
    Glad Wilbur and Mitch are doing well.

    Glad to hear the kids are doing good after their surgery. I love reading your posts. I get very excited when I see one in my email. But I got to tell you, I applaud you for what you endure to take care of the kids. I live in NEK of VT and it takes me 2hrs to get to Burlington, VT. I know where Lancaster NH is (I go through there to get to Gorham). It’s got to take you at least 3 hrs to get there. To go back and forth as often as you do…. I can appreciate what you go through. You guys are truly amazing.

    Poor Spinner – I hope these 2 can come up with a good snuggle arrangement for sharing the cot.

    Poor Spinner! Those positions don’t look comfortable at all! 🙂 “He just don’t get no respect”! Glad to hear that Mitch and Wilbur came thru their surgeries with flying colors.
    Smooches to the pooches and big hugs to those they “own”!! 🙂 🙂

    She’s so polite! One little push and she’d have it all to herself. 🙂 Well, maybe. Willie looks pretty solidly rooted in there. Glad all is well with the eye patients. They’ll be so much happier now.

    What a smile those pictures brought to my face today..I just love Spinner! She’s such a lady to try to share her bed with Willie and not kick him off..I guess she has plenty of experience with the stubborn Beagle Brigade 🙂
