Osci Boo Boo and Deegs, the names I actually call Oscar and Diego. There hasn’t been too much excitement lately (which is a good thing!) with the pups but there are still the occasional mishaps.
Now that the winter months are here Oscar will only sleep under my covers. I wake up in the morning clinging to the edge of the bed and turn to see Oscar in the middle with his head on my pillow, under the cover, spooning me. Diego prefers to be down by my feet but lately has started burrowing his head into my neck.
The thing is I kind of sort of need to wean the dogs off of my bed. BUT I really don’t want to…BUT I really think I need to and I know that I can’t sleep with them forever. BUT Oscar has been sleeping with me for 3 years and I can’t stand the thought of kicking my child out of my bed. AND I really enjoy snuggling with them when I am alone and cold. BUT I also need to prepare for the day when I am not the only one sleeping in my bed and there is not enough room for 2 dogs, one of which prefers to sleep in the bed like a human being. Should I just wait to wean them until I absolutely have to or should I do it now to prepare? I just don’t know and the bottom line is I don’t want to kick them out but I know eventually the time will come. The other thing is that I feel like because I am gone all day at work a lot of our quality time is laying together in bed and cuddling and I sort of feel bad about taking that away. Anyways, these are just some thoughts, fears, and dreams I have about my children and needed some tips or insights on how to accomplish this task.
Thank you!
