Storms in SE Kansas

It's been a stormy week. This has some benefits. Paddy gets worried by thunder and loud noises and so wants to hide somewhere in the master bedroom when it happens. Where he usually wants to hide is on the master bed! If Big Guy is up in Kansas City we get to use his side of the bed. If he's back down here, then things get a little tight because, let me tell you, humans take up a lot of room. I've been told I'm pretty good because I just jump on the bed to say good night, give them a cuddle (they react differently when I lay my head in the pillow) and then go and lie on the floor at the foot of the bed.

Patrick, on the other hand, just goes up onto the bed and falls asleep. This would be fine but he insists on sleeping with is nose pointing towards their feet. This means that sometimes they get woken up by a tail, (or worse still a hind paw) in their faces in the middle of the night. They get all cranky and then *I* get chucked out along with Paddy. Then it thunders again and the status quo is restored.

It's thundered a few times this week. It's rained a lot too, so the Dog Towels have been coming out. I don't mind the Dog Towel because I can't stand getting very wet. I don't look good when I'm wet, unlike Mr.50% Labrador who looks like a commercial for Ducks Unlimited.
