Aaahhh...Sunshine.

We've been too busy to post lately. That last one wore us out. I guess you'll just have to learn to live with our inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies. (We're both nail biters, if you hadn't already figured that out.) Anyway...down to the task at hand.

Nothing beats a relaxing snooze in the sun. We've each got our favorite lounging spots in the living room...KC's got first dibs on the back of the couch with a strategic view of the neighborhood. I prefer the warmth and texture of a good fleece blanket. On occasion, our people leave the big front door open so we can get another 3-foot spot of warm carpet in the afternoon. But since we don't usually survey the neighborhood from our eye level, we get a little too excited when we can see everything happening on our street. So the front door sunshine spot is usually short-lived.

We love our REM sleep. KC and I have chased squirrels, birds, rabbits and the occasional obnoxious neighbor during our naps. If we're really "engaged," we even growl, bark and jump. Our people think it's quite entertaining to watch.

On the days when the sun's not shining, we'll curl up next to our people. KC started some weird thing when she was younger...she sprawls out across our peoples' shoulders. For some reason, I have to have at least some part of me (usually my head) on their hands. If their hands move, I know they're up to something...or going somewhere. It could be my own puppy insecurities. If our people are preoccupied and I'm napping on my own, I'll konk out on my back with my legs in the air. That's only if I'm sleeping in front of the space heater, though.

When we're finally nestled into our napping locations, we don't like to be disturbed. We don't mind the television, or even the occasional phone call, but you better not drive your car up into our driveway or bring that vacuum in here. (That's a whole 'nother post for another day. Trust us.)

It's back to our naps. Sweet Dreams! - Jeni
