I know that just looks like a bunched up dog bed on the floor, right? But around here, especially with a new burrower in town, you might find a little surprise underneath when you lift up one end of the bed:
Yep, Wilbur. This is his way of pointing out that we forgot to put a fleece throw on the bed to burrow under, so he makes do by flipping the bed over onto itself and burrowing inside that. Clever tyke.

Cutest little lump I've seen in a long time.

I just received my newsletter and had to giggle at Sophie sneaking in her quiet comment about being photographed by sticking her tongue out ever so slightly. My Genie Bee does the same thing and I never know if she's being cheeky with me or just overwhelmingly cute!! :) :) Since we have had very few posts from you this week, is there a crisis at RDF or has someone passed? :(

Chihuahuas are known for their burrowing......my chi mix is almost always unders my throws when I am relaxing and watching TV at night or during sleep time at night. I used to freak out and think she was going to smother but then my vet told me it was perfectly normal. Whew!

Wilbur sure is a cutie pot pie!
I get similar lumps when I am changing the sheets on my bed.
