The Bulldogs

The dogs have been getting along fine, for quite a while. We really thought the de-sexing had fixed everything.

In fact, the two of them have been sleeping on our bed. And while Bruno has never slept on the bed, he's always slept in his own bed on the floor of the bedroom, however Otto has been jumping up on the bed to sleep. Even if we put him in a bed next to Bruno, he will jump up on the bed at some point in the night.

Recently, Bruno has wanted to sleep on the bed too.

There have been quite a few mornings lately when I have woken, admittedly with decreased mattress space, with the two of the asleep face to face, with their bums and hips out kind of diagonally, their shape roughly forming a love heart, with a little imagination. Ha ha, cheesy, I know.

So, while two bulldogs sleeping on the bed is not ideal, with the recent history of the two of them, it has been kind of heartening seeing them getting along and sleeping together happily.

Anyway, yesterday morning, Bruno slept on the bed all night, and Otto slept in one of the dog beds. At 6am, Otto jumped up on the bed, I suspect he stepped on Bruno's back leg, and we were woken by a dog fight in the middle of our bed.

That was less than ideal.

And, that was a step backwards.

Grrrr!
