Before you ask, Lily is underneath the covers right next to Lovey and Thurston, Ginger is underneath the bed (her choice, I think because it gives her space from the pups): I’m just mostly impressed I managed to get a picture of Rosie without her throwing shade.

Your Morning Moment of Zen
I didn’t put the puppies in my room last night because they were sound asleep on a pillow, and when I woke up at 4 am to go to the bathroom, I found this: Who needs a feather bed and a down comforter with the fat snoring human when you have this?
