The Bed Hog

Molly decided to jump up on my bed last night as I was going to sleep and share my bed space with me and it has been a long time since she has done that. Like me, Molly has her good days and bad days, and they are turning into mostly bad. Those rare occasions she does jump up on the bed anymore, I have to be the cheerleader. I have to pound on the bed with my hand, telling her "C'mon girl, c'mon girl, I know you can do it!" She will get that happy look on her face that only dogs can get and she will crouch a couple of times and she will wiggle her butt and wag her tail everytime she crouches down until she decides that she can take that leap of faith forward and jump that whole two feet on to the bed. She then does what dogs do and that is hog the bed and generously allow me a corner of it until she decides to get down. She can have all of the bed space she wants. This is Molly's World and I am lucky enough that she lets me share it with her.
