My Bed Loving Dogs

I love that I have somehow made both of my dogs LOVE going to bed at night.  Once they have done their night bathroom trip, they come inside and Piper heads directly upstairs and settles into his dog bed and Murray follows me around downstairs until we head up together.  He then happily leaps onto our bed and nestles in.  They both sleep soundly the entire night and are not even early risers.  They get up when we get up, and Murray even sometimes lingers in bed past us.  So on this Friday evening, feeling tired after a long week, I am very grateful for my sleep loving, bed snuggling pups!  Happy Weekend!
