RE: [Fwd: Fw: Our dogs and Cats]

Must be a secret technique passed down through canine/feline generations.
I'm always amazed at how very little room my husband and I actually need on
the bed (something like 9 inches combined) in order to afford Maggie the lab
all the room she needs to enjoy her sleep.  Either that, or I wake up
sandwiched between DH and Maggie, who has plastered herself to me
lengthwise.

It's a wonder any pet owner gets a good night's rest.

Totally great.  Mine starts off in a ball too, but during the night she
manages to stretch out.
