[Dailydrool] Last night

[Beverly Szaton]

Last night just as I started to crawl into bed there was a flash of light
and a boom.
WHAT??? It is January in Illinois!! Thunder?? But it was. Rain. Thunder.
Lightning. Large hairy terrified dog. O piddle. Not what I needed.
Too late for composure and thunder shirts. For awhile I had him sleep with
me altho "sleep" is purely a wishful thought. I tried deep breathing (he
was practically in my skin) and calming massage (as I kept dribbling off to
sleep myself he was wide awake so it was only beneficial to one of us.)
When he sat up and began drooling on my clean sheets-- and I don't mean a
little--I did the unthinkable. I got a biscuit. I opened Conley's crate
door and lured him out (like a  bullet shot out of a gun) jammed Cooper in
the crate, and took Conley, by now delirious with joy, into bed with me.
(He LOVES to sleep with me, has not for maybe months.)
We struggled a bit to get comfy as I do not sleep well with dog butt in my
face, but after some preliminary  snugs and cuddles (what a happy Basset he
was) went to sleep for the night.
But.
Will he respect me this morning?

MomPerson to Nigel, Llewis,(who never woke up) Conley (the happiest Basset
on earth) and Cooper---still tired.
