joy of life: day 19

day 19 prompt: while they're gone

Gunney has always been Allen's dog.  When he started traveling for work last May, she became more of my dog.  At least I was responsible for her more of the time.   She used to sleep in a crate at night but with Allen gone, her routine was different and she wasn't sleeping well in the crate.  I got tired of getting up at night so I started letting her come upstairs and sleep on our floor.  She did better, I slept better, and I was actually comforted in knowing that she was there with me.  She would be absolutely NO help in the case of an intruder but still, the false sense of security helped.

So, while Allen was off providing for our family, I transformed his dog into a very sappy, useless and lazy being.  I mean, seriously, she has a doggy pad, an old blanket, and even a pillow.  For the record, I did NOT give her the pillow.  It's the sham pillow from our old comforter set and she drug it out from under the bed on her own.  She was never doing it when I went up to photograph her but she actually sleeps with her head on the pillow.  I am telling you--useless and lazy:)
