Get a new bed, new bedding, new pillows, sheets, and comforter, and you don’t even get to be the first one to use it:
One of these days I will figure out how Lily manages to tuck herself in. I guess this is the price I pay for bringing strange knocked up bitches home.

Sweet pic Mr Cole.

Precious!

But if you stop, who will tuck Lily in?
jl
For some reason, I assumed that all the new stuff was for Lily and Tunch anyway.
Lily looks so comfy and snug, I cannot imagine what kind of heartless brute would ever kick her out of bed.
I suggest the ‘you snooze, you get the bed’ rule be invoked.

Hah, puppehs can sniff fresh bedding faster than they can a pound of fresh puppeh snacks. I do no know how this is the case. Does Lily also engagage in much twirling before landing on her napspot? Mine does, and always lands with a grunt and a thud, as though her legs retracted while her body remained momentarily airborne.
I think they all watch Looney Tunes for animal tips.
Violet
So cozy! Poor thing is probably exhausted after the day she’s had. A pregnant JRT in the house? Terrifying!
Short Bus Bully
Bringing strange knocked up bitches home? Shit, story of my life.

Are you trolling your own website again? That’s a set-up line for the ages.

mrs. santorum knows how lily feels.
The Dangerman
Same process as a bird crapping on a freshly washed car; “we” are there just to amuse “them”.
slag
I’m curious. Is there anyone who hasn’t ceded at least half of their bed to their pets at some point?
Violet
I like your new bedding. Did the previous mocking of your old stuff finally get to you?
John Cole
@Violet: yes.
demkat620
Very nice. She is definitely not the same dog you brought home.
That trust is amazing isn’t it?
Mike Kay
Let me be the first to denounce Obama’s speech for not going far enough, for not being angry enough, for not showing enough emotion, for not pounding the bully pulpit, for not pounding his desk, for not crying, for forgetting to mention the “public option”, for not nationalizing BP, for not waterboarding Tony Heyward, and for being a giveaway to Wall Street and corporations.

@John Cole:
Lolz. Your commenters have such power.

If he doesn’t declare war on England than he’s a corportist sell out.

@Mike Kay: Pshaw. _I’m_ already disappointed in the _next_ prime-time address to the nation.
Comrade Mary
That is not the look of love. That is the cold shoulder. If you had a doghouse, Mr. Cole, you would be in it right now.

@mr. whipple:
you can bet on it. over at DKOS, the speech wasn’t even released yet, and they are already shitting on it.
Carrie
Aww, i hope Lily isn’t sulking.
CaseyL
Obama says they’ve approved the creation of new barrier islands – anyone know what that means? How do you create an island? This isn’t the massive redirection of the Mississippi he was rumored to be considering.
Mike Kay
This Obama guy on my tee vee — which team does he play for the Celtics or the Lakers?
lamh32
Everyone was talking about that Louisiana poll today, and I just wanted to say that I spoke to my family this weekend, specifically my aunts. Asked them how they felt about the oil spill and the President’s response. They were not suprisingly upset about the spill and the affect on NOLA, but she did not blame President Obama nor did she say the oil spill was just like Katrina all over again.
I didn’t’ have the heart to tell her that based on what I’m reading on the blogosphere, she is obviously misinformed, cause this oil spill is soooo “Obama’s Katrina”.
TuiMel
Nothing says “Hey, Rosie, Rita, Aggie (whatever your name is), this house, this human, is mine, mine, all mine!” like being first to get snuggled into then new bedding.
demkat620
If he really wanted to sell this he should have had a box of kleenex and a baseball bat.
Crying and kicking ass, that’s what the pundits wanted right?
lamh32
Also, over 1000 people (mostly Afr American) die cause of Bush handling of Katrina, including my grandmother, but yeah this oil spill is soo like that. I would love someone to poll the ACTUAL katrina residents and victims, the majority of which was Afr American, I bet the poll results would be way different.
But who cares right, Afr Americans are O-bots anyway, so their opinions don’t really amount to much.
BTW, it’s Louisiana, and Dems keep voting for conservaDem Mary Landrieu, so there is nothing so shocking about this pol.

@Mike Kay: No one here cares about that “hip hop” league.
Steller
There is nothin cuter than sleeping puppehs! Especially with the little soft pinned-back eaws that I just want to nom on.
abo gato
Ahhhh, so comfy! Our two JRT’s do what we call “tunneling”. We ask her, do you want to tunnel? And the big one starts nosing her way under the covers. She can stay under there for a long, long time. I don’t know how she breathes. Our smaller one will get under for a short time and then come up for air.
I am sorta hoping that the new pup gets to stay with you. We only had one JRT and I told my husband that our pet needed a pet. He was resistant for a while as he thought it would hurt her feelings to have another dog in the house. Once we got our second dog he realized how important it was for them to have each other. They need companionship just like we do.
Tunch is nice, (but he’s a CAT, fer christsakes) and he’s not a dog companion for Lily, she needs another dog to play and run with. Our two chase squirrels, doves, deer all the time in the back yard and also get into tussles with raccoons and have killed at least 10 skunks. They tag team the skunks. The cleanup on that is a whole new post.
But, I have found something that actually works for skunk smell.
You need this dog and she needs you and Lily.
Mike Kay
He’s stabbing the netroots in the back by not listening to Robert Reich’s plan to round up all the Brits and placing them in FEMA detention camps.
demkat620
Uh oh, regulation. You done it now Barry. John Boehner is gonna cry.
beltane
Is the new dog definitely pregnant? I wonder who the father is.
CaseyL
Please don’t call on Congress to do anything. Congress won’t. Please, for the love of god, commit the nation to conversion to sustainable energy within a decade. Make it the new Manhattan Project. Please be bold.
beltane
@Mike Kay: You missed out on being the first to criticize the president’s address. Over at GOS they are all heartsick and stomach sick and head sick that he has not put an end to global warming.
CaseyL
Shit. Prayers? Prayers? Shit.
Not good. I’m sorry, but he did not grasp that nettle at all.
FlipYrWhig
Waah! He didn’t do or say [THING I FIND NECESSARY]! I am very disillusioned! Again!
Lesley
That is the funniest damn photo I’ve seen today. Where’s Tunch or is he camouflaged?
Lesley
You know what’s funniest about that photo? Not just that she’s tucked in, but that she’s picked the MIDDLE of the bed to lie on.
Dogs aren’t dummies.

@lamh32:
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. I know you probably miss her.

@Comrade Mary: I’m with you on this. I’m thinking that is a sulking dog who is pretty much saying, this is my damn bed.
Joseph Nobles
BTW, Lily noses under the comforter, turns around under it, and then noses out. Voila, a tucked-in dog.

@Mike Kay:
Since you’re a Noo Yawka, you probably think he’s going to sign with Cleveland after LeBron signs with the Knicks. To which I can only say “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”

She goes in head-first, turns around, and sticks her head back out. My dog does it to.

That pic is awesome. At least our cat stays on top of the covers.

Awww…I want to hop in there with her and snorgle.
Mind you, it would be rather difficult to explain to my husband that I traveled all the way to WV to climb into another man’s bed, simply to snuggle with his dog…
arguingwithsignposts
Cole, I bought some new sheets and pillow cases the other day as well. Feels good. But I do not let Lady Smudge under the covers this time. I learned my shedding lesson well.
But Lady Smudge will enjoy the hardwood floors in the new apartment, I’m sure.

Mr. Cole you should be grateful for small mercies. I note she hasn’t planted her ass on your pillow.

That is an awesome pic — doggie heaven. Boy, has Lily’s life changed….
I go to bed later than my “gang” — husband + 2 beagles. With some frequency I walk in the room to find the younger beagle under the covers with her head neatly on my pillow. Her older sister stretched out along my side of the bed — both snoring like trains. This is endearing, until I have to start moving everyone. The best part is when the little beagle starts to make baby noises when I move her. Sigh.
asiangrrlMN
Cole, you are in trouble for sure. By the way, I liked your own bedroom decor. I think I was one of three. Alas. Give Lily some extra attention, and I am sure she will be fine.
@arguingwithsignposts: She’s demanding, but rightly so as she is a lady. So gorgeous!
Jay in Oregon
You bring some pregnant floozy home for the night and are surprised that your lady friend is giving you the cold shoulder in bed?

wait.. there’s gonna be babies? i demand puppy cam.
