Sofa Battle…Day Three Hundred, Forty

November 5, 2011 By Jodi

The light company representative couldn’t deliver last night, so we spent night seven sleeping in the living room.  I am currently at my daughter’s house but heard from a friend that some areas around me got their power back today.  Fingers and toes crossed that our power is on when we head home tonight. 🙂

Round about night four, I gave up sleeping on the futon because Sampson was hogging the entire mattress. 🙂

Seriously it is large enough for three of us....

Since that night, I’ve been waging a battle for the dog’s sofa with Delilah.   It would seem Delilah isn’t content to share the futon mattress with Sampson, she wants the couch that I’ve been sleeping on.

At bedtime when I settle in on the sofa, Delilah commences to staring at me. She sits on the floor and stares, when I scootch my back against the back of the sofa and invite her up for a snuggle, she ignores me and lies down on the futon.

AND……when I get up during the night, which is at least three or four times to feed the fire, Delilah snags the sofa, curling up contentedly against my pillow. 🙂

      I believe it. We limit them to one sofa, but heaven help the one who tries to sit (or sleep) there!

    I hope your power is back soon! Typical pup…waits until you warm up the spot and then snatches it first chance! : )

    The only solution we’ve found to the same dilemma is to crate Honey until the wee hours of the morning. Otherwise, she kicks us out of bed too.

    Hope the power comes back soon.

    • Jodi Stone says

      November 6, 2011 at 8:57 pm

      Normally she is fine at the end of the bed, but I guess not the sofa!

      Yes, crating would be about the only thing that would work. 🙂
