I was oblivious to the jingling of Emma

    How cute! I also can’t get mad at my big, silly Gus when I know he just wants my attention.

    Ha! I know, me either. Ace does the same thing as Emma, where he’s on his back with all four legs in the air making a scene.

    When I had my German Shepherd she wasn’t allowed on the bed either. I can’t count how many mornings I woke to find her sprawled on the bed. As much as I didn’t want her on the bed I never got mad at her.

    Haha. Ace will not try to sneak onto the bed when I’m asleep. But in the morning he tends to get pretty wild and in the excitement, if I acknowledge him, he’ll try to put his front paws on the bed and then if I don’t tell him no, he’s up on the bed with me. It’s so cute that I allow it for a few seconds and then push him off. Obviously not good for consistency training, but whatever.

    Very nice post! I think your boyfriend’s mom has a writer inside of her. :-)
