Annie

She starts out curled up, sleeping, at the foot of the bed, just like any good dog should. As the night progresses, so does Annie. She might move up to tuck in behind Judy’s knees before we fall asleep. Later, she’ll be sleeping against Judy’s back. By morning she’ll be a person, stretched out alongside Judy, head next to hers on the pillow.

Sometimes during the night, Annie will loop around to my side and just plop across my pillow, providing me with the perfect dog-hat. I never really want a dog-hat in the middle of the night, so I just give her a few taps and it works every time, she moves right over…. to Judy’s pillow. Judy gets to be Davy Crockett for the rest of the night.
