You won't believe who I had sleeping in my bed last night.....
Brody!
I was 100% against allowing him to sleep in our bed. Most of you know I am not a dog person, but I think I have come around. The most amazing thing about it was that Dori still slept in the bed too.
This really made me happy because my main concern was making sure I did not upset Dori's routine.
My fiance believes Brody should be allowed on the sofa and in the bed, just like Dori is allowed. I wouldn't allow it before, but yesterday I came to the realization that I had not really accepted Brody as being a part of the family. So I had a talk with my fiance and explained to him I felt that I hadn't been as good a mommy to Brody as I should be, so I made some changes. He is allowed to lay with us on the couch now, and boy did he love that! He was cuddling right up between us
Once I let him in the bed last night he stayed there all night and slept right in between us. Brody is 20 pounds and has a flat face. He layed on his back with his legs in the air and snored!
Anyway, I think that these changes will be very good for Brody and will allow him to feel like an official member of the family. Dori even chased after him playng last night
I just feel like a lot was accomplished last night and wanted to share my excitement with you guys
Thank you all for the wonderful advice you have given me on how to care for a dog. I still hold to not being a dog lover, but as a friend here mentioned, I don't have to admit to that I can just say I am a Brody-lover
