The whippet can be the best buddy to snuggle with. Like the night recently when I had a migraine, and was miserable. Early morning she climbed in bed with me. I was able relax and finally fall asleep.
But, this isn't always the case. We get snow here. For whatever reason, she completely dislikes the sound of the snow sliding off the roof. Whenever that is happening, she will not sleep on her bed, but will insist on climbing in bed with me.
This was the scenerio. She slept soundly for about 2 hours with me, under the blankets. Then she was too hot and needed to stretch. A good loud ear shake. You know the one whippets can make with their otherwise soft, velvet ears? Snap, snap, snap? Then scratching at the blankets to make a nest. Soon back to crawl under the blankets.. repeat all of the above several times through-out the night. At 3am the greyhound who was asleep on her bed on the floor, is unhappy, she has gotten up to stretch and all of her blankets are off. I climb out of bed to get her covered. While I am doing that, the whippet has crawled onto my pillow and settled down. At this point, I am tired and tell her to move over, I am not sharing my pillow. With only two more hours until having to be up, I just want to sleep. Whippet manages to get in several more bouts of manuvering in the two short hours.
Cold, wet weather, or not, she got several long walks today. Hopefully she will be tired enough to sleep on her BED regardless of any spooky, snow sliding noises.
Who knew sighthounds were such boobs.
Adorable, but boobs.
