Ok
the great bed dilemma of 2011 has been resolved and the dogs made the decision
for us.
Couple of nights ago we were quietly lying in bed reading before lights out (that’s as exciting as the bedroom gets at our age). Actually that’s not true we did play ‘Jack Change It’ once in bed but were then to over excited to sleep.
Anyway Riley our latest acquisition was lying sleeping and without even waking up or even moving did a wee as big as a flood right on top of us. Thank God we were awake or we would have woken up in the morning drenched and poor ole Alfie would have got the blame based purely on previous convictions.
So up we jump, duvet off, sheets off, duvet from spare room on, new sheet on, wet duvet in to the wash and back to bed. Next morning up and getting ready when Alfie jumps up on bed and does exactly the same thing. Unbe-f’ing-lievable. So duvet off, sheets off, duvet from other spare room on, new sheet on, wet duvet in to the wash and heated discussion about putting the whole lot of them down.
Eventually decision made that they are banished to the kitchen at nights and that has been the way of it now for last 3 nights. To be honest felt really mean to begin with but are now getting used to it and they have taken it quite well except for Riley, the instigator of their fate, who has now taken to sitting in the garden and howling like a wolf for half an hour after bedtime.
Anyhow the empty bed is quite nice and one of these days I might just build up the nerve to venture across to Al’s side and say “Hello”.......
