As an added problem, when I get up out of said bed and open the door to go to the bathroom, our 77 pound dog sees it as his opportunity to enter the bedroom and jump on the bed. Good luck finding more than six inches of warm-covers-heaven when I get back.



We really didn't think he would get that big when we adopted him from the shelter.

but the coming back to bed part is worth it. But the cat who lives in the house I pay for (I don't own her; one never does own a cat) either follows me if she thinks I'm going to get up for real and feed her, or she moves to the middle of my warm spot while I'm up, then growls when I try to move her back to her spot.

As much as I can by having my warm slippers right where I can slip my feet in without looking, as long as my feet are warm, I can survive not having my robe on if I can't find it quickly enough. I also put the cover back so they stay warm until I get back.

My routine is, go to the bathroom, go to the fridge for something to drink, go back and snuggle with Mr. Bayard--if the wiener boy hasn't taken my spot. But he's pretty warm too.
