I wake up really wanting to turn on my left side but don't dare because I don't want to disturb the little Diva who snores so loudly that she sometimes wakes us!!  My question is this: Should I just sleep any way I want and rest better or should I continue to think only of her rest & comfort?? 
[I would also like to add ... the rest of our lives revolve around her also! Places we go, things that we do and meals!!] |
Dear Bettyeanne,
This is a very good question and one I have had to deal with in my personal life. If Toto is sleeping with you then you always have to be careful that you don't roll over on her. Which may cause you not to sleep well.
So the short answer to your question is no, do not just sleep the way you want to, you have to think of her comfort. That being said, there is another opition. My mommy was having the same problem with me. She was sleeping so poorly that she was grouchy
when she got up in the mornings.
Try getting treats out of her then
next to impossible!
Anyway, she bought me a bed and put it right next to her bed so that she could still be close to me. And I didn't like that bed, so she bought me another one. Long story short, I now have 5 beds and she found one that I like. It is a special doggie bed and it plugs into the wall and gets warm. So that I am nice and snuggley all night long. I love it and mommy is sleeping good again until I start barking at 6 am cause I GOTTA GO! But I get treats in the mornings again.
I hope this helps your mommy sleep better!
