[nagdu] dog dreams

[Larry D. Keeler]

Well, in boring meetings it is me who sleeps.  I blame the snoring on holly. 
Holly does the souft barking thing in her sleep!

>> Hello:
>>
>> Bailey rarely runs or barks in his sleep, but I have woken up in the
>> middle of the night with those oddly muted, far off yips ringing in my
>> ears. Because I was tangled in my covers, I decided, in my bleary,
>> half-awake state, to roll out of bed on top of him. This resulted in a
>> startled puppy and a fully awake master, brought to not by the warm, yet
>> coarse fur of a sleeping shepherd, but by the cold hard reality of a cold
>> hard floor.
>> On one other occasion, I was reading on the couch and the dog was across
>> the room, sleeping on his bed. His sleep noises disturbed the alternate
>> reality constructed by my all-too-vivid imagination, ironically 
>> dissolving
>> the half dream state induced by the indescribable pleasures of a good
>> yarn. I fumbled on the couch next to me, coming upon the TV remote and
>> discarding it. My fingers happened upon a pillow, which I promptly 
>> chucked
>> at the dog. The dreaming ceased, but Bailey wasn't too slow to recognize
>> the opportunity which had been quite literally thrown at him. When later 
>> I
>> went to retrieve my weapon, I found it firmly held to the ground by a 
>> big,
>> furry shepherd head and a paw. His look was all too smug as I cursed him
>> lovingly and tugged the pillow from beneath his grinning snout.
>> I haven't yet been unlucky enough to have him in the throes of a
>> rabbit-chasing dream in class, but he's come close--his paws were
>> twitching madly and he was breathing heavily. Foreseeing this potential
>> embarrassment, I subtly nudged him with my shoe and the disaster was
>> averted.
