My little experiment

Luca just came back from a conference in Salt Lake City last night. It was great to see him again, since he'd been gone for 5 days.

To entertain myself in his absence, I'd been watching The Hills on Netflix, which he finds to be insipid. And it is, but I've been enjoying it anyway. My favorite thing to do while watching that show is to replace the word "kiss"(as in, "Did you kiss him?" or "We went back to his place and kissed," which I swear is uttered at least once an episode) with "have sex with." Because we all know that's what's really happening. Little hos.

Anyhow.

So Luca had asked me if I wanted to come to SLC with him, and it sounded like a good idea..... until I realized that he'd be at the conference from 8A-10P every day and I'd be sitting on my ass in his hotel room. Oh sure, I could go out by myself, but what would be the point? And we'd have had to board the Boo.

Plus, I wanted to do an experiment with the Boo that required Luca's absence.

What's this, you say? You're experimenting on your dog? What kind of person are you?

Don't be idiotic.

You see, Miss. Boo sleeps in the crate every night right next to our bed. The bed is too tall for her to jump up comfortably -- well, she used to jump up until she fell on her ass once, little klutz -- so every night we lift her up before bed for a tummy rub and wallowing in the blankets session. Then we tell her "Crate" and she hops off and goes to lie down in her crate. It's really cute actually.

My experiment was that I wanted to see how Miss. Boo would take to sleeping on the bed ALL NIGHT LONG. And now that it's over? Well, I wouldn't say that it was a complete failure..... but let's just say Miss. Boo really likes her crate.

The first night started off ok, until I heard a bang at about 1AM. Poor Miss. Boo had fallen off the bed! I decided that was enough bed for one night and sent her to her crate, where she happily slept the rest of the night.

The second night she slept pretty well at the foot of the bed, repositioning herself a few times. What amazed me was how much the bed bounced around when she moved though. There was one crotch licking session that had to have lasted for 10-15 minutes at 3AM. It's just not what a girl wants to be woken up to, is all I have to say.

The third night went a little better. A few awakenings, and she then very cutely came up from the foot of the bed to snuggle with me before we got up in the morning.

The fourth night however, she decided she actually wanted to snuggle ALL NIGHT, and kept coming up to put her head on my pillow. Gah!

And the final night, she just couldn't get comfortable and kept walking around the bed trying to reposition herself. I think she might have been cold, so I turned the A/C up a few degrees and that seemed to help.

I should add, Miss Boo also slept very soundly during the DAYS when Luca was away. Perhaps the Boo was not sleeping well either those nights?

Anyway, last night Luca was back, and we were a little worried that the Boo would not want to go back to the crate. Um..... nope! It was like she was saying, "Thank God you're home daddy and I don't have to sleep on this f-ing bed anymore with OMDG!" This morning she awoke refreshed and had a long drink from my toilet (her new discovery of late) ready to go for her morning walk

I think someone is a little attached to her crate, don't you? Poor Miss. Boo! I promise I won't experiment on you (much) in the future. And definitely not with your sleeping arrangement!
