Holden and Phoebe

Mom, dad, and I are all celebrating this week... Phoebe has finally started to sleep through the night. She still makes the occasional 4am bedside appearance to give us kisses and verify that we're really asleep, but it's becoming less and less common. Thank goodness! An old dawg like me needs his beauty sleep. And I must admit, even I've noticed the dark circles under mom's eyes.

Now here's the strange thing... given the option of sleeping on her own brand-new LL Bean dog bed or even snuggling with the 'rents, Phoebe chooses to sleep in the bathroom, curled around the toilet bowl. Why any dog would choose cold porcelain and linoleum over plush fleece is beyond me! But I'm not complaining - I'm now dividing my time between her dog bed and mine. I like to mix things up a bit.
