The death

So this last week (and then some) I've had a miserable cold.  But I'm not posting because of that.  This is the first time I've been sick since we got dexter and we've discovered he gets very concerned about his mom's wellbeing.  And only his mom, btw, Ryan does not receive the same level of "care." 

Dexter doesn't normally sleep in bed with us but it seems when I'm sick he shows his concern by smothering me while I try to sleep. 

The first is a picture of him and paisley laying on my legs.  I told them to get down (which they did).  About 3 mins later dexter slowly and gently climbs onto the bed in an attempt to be undetected.  He lightly paws around on the blankets until he feels me and than slowly lays down over my entire body.  He seems to think that being gentle will prevent me from noticing that there is a 130lb dog laying on my chest.  He's not the brightest crayon in the box :). 

When I squeeze out from under him, he rolls over on me again.  This is where he stays all night. 

The second picture is my view of the tv when he's sitting on me.  You will notice an outline of ears....

I think that laying on me is supposed to keep me warm (side note: the fever already does a really good job of this).  When I cough he boops me on the forehead with his wet nose, I can't figure out the logic behind this one....  Moral of the story, dexter is so sweet, and so unhelpful Haha!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy, especially momma Kirsten!

Later!
