Last night Guinness wanted up on the bed at bed time. He's only asked a few times in the past few months since he knows he can't jump up himself anymore, so I asked Brett to lift him. As usual, he made a b-line to Brett's pillow and he snuggled up next to me for a while. Eventually he moved down to the bottom of the bed and fell asleep in the crook of my legs, something he got in the habit of doing since he was a puppy when I was pregnant with M and doing lots of sleeping myself. Such a familiar, happy feeling. He snored and slept comfortably until he got too hot (he is a lab after all) and then he jumped back down to his bed on the floor with no problem.
This morning, I found him sprawled out on his back on the couch and when I came in the room he wagged his tail and got feisty when I sat next to him. Those two moments alone have made all that we've gone through so far worth it 100%.
No arghs here today, but instead a big Yo Ho!

Was this photo of him now? He looks blissfully happy and content!
ReplyDeleteA, the photo was from about a week or so ago, but he looked just like that! :)

ReplyDeleteHe's got a good mommy and daddy and family to keep him excited about life. :)
A familiar site indeed. A favorite of mine. No cares.
