Sleeping with Beagles

These are the beagles I've been sleeping with for the past three nights. Zoe (L) and Baxter (R). My friends, James & Mandy, are out of town and they told me that their "babies" were used to sleeping in bed with them. So I got suckered into taking over. They are really good dogs--well trained and all, but it's just weird sleeping in bed with someone else's animals. I'm used to sleeping by myself and moving around freely and all. But Zoe needs to be touching me--usually laying right on top of my legs or between my feet. And then they have this internal alarm clock that tells them it's time to get up and eat at 5:45 AM! Even on Sundays! I think Zoe was mad at me for making them go back to sleep until 9:30 this morning because when I woke up I couldn't find one of my flip flops. I looked all over and was asking them where it was, holding up the one flip flop I still had. I finally found it in the back yard. I know it was Zoe because when I was asking them about where the shoe was, she would cower and then roll over on her back like I was going to beat her with it. But there was no beating. I'm a dog lover. I'm not sure I love dogs as much as James & Mandy do--enough to sleep with them every night--but they are faithful friends.
