The not-so curious incident of the dog in the night-time

5:10am - sound of whimpering by the side of the bed wakes me up.
tell dog to go back to her basket.

5:11am - get out of bed,
put dog back into her basket in hallway,
get back into bed.

5:13am - sound of whimpering by the side of the bed.

5:14am - get out of bed,
put dog back into her basket in hallway,
get back into bed.

5:20am - dog launches herself on to bed, landing precisely on my kidneys.

5:22am - dog fast asleep - underneath blanket.
have sneaking suspicion Cesar would not approve of this.

5:46am - still awake.
get up to retrieve extra blanket from airing cupboard.
walk past thermometer thingy in hallway and realise it is -8c outside.
feel bad for having made dog sleep on floor.

5:48am - return to bedroom to find dog sprawled out on pillows.

5:49am - put dog back into her basket in the hallway.

5:57am - hardly feel bad about it at all.

6:06am - tell dog she can sleep on bed, as long as she keeps my feet warm and doesn't expect to go for a walk at 8am.

8:02am - sound of whimpering by the side of the bed wakes me up.
