Early Evening on the Couch...

No matter how the dynamics of the family change, one thing remains sacred here.... Snuggle time... It starts right after supper, after i finish the dishes...The dogs start to sit around and stare at me with that "let's go!" look. Gipetto will actually walk into the living room, and turn around to give me that "come hither" look...It is time to go and sit on the couch together and snuggle while i crochet or knit my next project. This has been a night time ritual ever since the three boys came to live with us, some 15 years ago, and has continued to the present. Little Polly doesn't really understand the whole concept, but already as i sit down and we work out which of the adult dogs gets to sit closest to me (we try to take turns) she is already starting to climb up my leg to get up on the couch with the rest of the family... I wonder if the dogs know i love this ritual as much as they do?

I love how her "spot" is ON TOP of the other dogs.

She's funny how she pulls that off. First she starts by cuddling up to the side of Zinnie...then she starts working her way up and between the two dogs, until she is on top. Let's see how long that lasts once she gets a little bigger!
