The Anatomy of a Bed Hog

I was literally laughing out loud!!  Too cute.  Our daughter says Mr. Skittles is also a bed hog… she calls him her bed pug.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one kicked out of bed by a pug!!

We’ve tried to sleep with Bennie, but it just doesn’t work.  He walks around constantly—including across the top of my pillow—which pulls my hair!  He’ll even walk right over my stomach!

Sorry but I find this hilarious!  How is it that we humans let these little critters run our lives?  When we have Molly at our house we have the same situation.  She has to sleep with grandpa and gramma..she starts out under the covers by our feet but sometime during the night she creeps up between us and stretches out.  She sleeps on her side and pushes against my husbands back so she’s pressed up against my back.  Well at my age she’s like a furnace, so yup, guess who ends up out of the bed…it sure ain’t the dog and it’s sure not the hubby!  Ya know what though?  I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Thanks for making my day once again!!

“The Anatomy of a Bed Hog” is quite an attention grabber and oh so funny, funny!  Romeo has three positions -  tight up against me (without moving), on top of me or off to the side. Corrine, you have once again started my day with a good laugh. 

Everyone have a good weekend, and hopefully some good sleep!

Too funny!!   We have that little problem too!  And I love the picture of little Luna…she has a sassy look on her face that says, “Mom, are you talking about me?”

My boy Max, a 30 lb. pug, sleeps right next to me and spoons with me all night!
We have a king sized bed and its me, my husband and Max.
Works for all of us!

I’ve learned a long time ago that the nice king sized bed with the memory foam mattress isn’t mine even though I paid for it, it belongs to Rosco of course.  How does one 15 pound Pug take up the entire bed you ask?  Because Ross is Boss!

We also have issues with C.J. and Toeby.  I pretty much have them trained to stay on my left side so that my right side can go up against the hubby.  The best nights?  When the pugs are snoring so loudly that Daddy gets up and goes to the couch…Then I get his side and the pugs spread out over my side!  LOL!

By the way, have you all seen the “Bed Hog” blanket throw at the Danbury Mint website?  I had to have one…Not cheap but it’s so cute, I couldn’t resist.  Also can be purchased in other breeds.  Check it out!  You’ll all be wanting one too!

Karen B, I just checked out the Danbury Mint website and saw the pug bed hog.  How funny, and I’m sure many of you can relate.  Thanks for the heads up.

Sue VDB, is it not the cutest throw you’ve ever seen?  It’s even cuter in person cuz you can see more of the detail on it!  Glad you liked it!  They have a whole line of pug items and every so often I find something I can’t live without, like the pug Christmas tree and the Halloween spooky pug house!  They light up and are very festive!

We tried to solve the pug bed hog problem several years ago by investing in a California King.  No such luck.  We either end up having more pugs (at one point we were up to 10 in the bed with us…don’t ask.)  At the moment it is four, and they take up an amazing amount of space.  My worst problem though is waking up with my entire body in an agonizing cramp and not being able to breathe because I have been sandbagged into a single position for the past 5 hours and my heftiest pug, Flynn (at 26 lbs.) has draped himself over my chest (his favorite sleeping position) limiting my lung function. No wonder I have nightmares about being stepped on by a giant, furry Godzilla.

My husband always says that Lucy allows us to sleep in “her” bed.  He is always sleeping with one arm on the nightstand and one leg hanging off the bed.  I don’t tolerate that quite so much.  If they are bugging me I will move them.  I figure they don’t have to get up for any early meetings and have lots of time to get a nap in during the day.

Ok, I went to the Danbury Mint site and saw the pug bed hog plate, but not the throw.  Is it still available?  thanks!

I think the true inventor of velcro was a pug. No matter where I sit or lay, the pugs are on me, next to me or touching me somehow. Of course Spanky, my shih tzu loves it because he has all the room he needs as he only wants a five minute belly rub and he’s gone. The plus side of the pugs is I don’t have to keep the house that warm in the winter.

I have gotten such a chuckle! My hubby thinks we are the only crazies in the universe because our 2 lovely ladies sleep with us! And like so many-they both cling to me and when Daisey(boston),Beauty(pug) and my husband get to snoring together-well, I get 3 part snore harmony!! And a little less sleep than the 3 of them!

This site really does bring such joy and commraderie…and I don’t know about everybody else, but there’s just this natural feeling of ‘love’ toward fellow puggie people that ‘get it’...most especially where our lil OBP Following group is concerned.

Came home from a long day and checked for updated comments…and was instantly met by more stories of similarity and joy and appreciation.  LOVE IT!

P.S.  As I type, Baxter is curled up in the crook of my legs (I am sitting/lying on my left side with legs to my right, slightly bent) and Riley is curled up, his chest-and-above resting on my bent legs, and his bum and back up against my chest…both are snoring.  LOL…It’s like ying and yang of momma and pugs.

Oh my gosh how that rings true! I read this outloud to my husband and he loved it concurred.
However nowadays Beauregard littile big man has decided that my pillow should be his landing spot.  This does not sit well with me with a snorning pug in my and my husbands ear all night long. lol   Thanks for sharing

Elizabeth, how funny, and welcome to the land of Pugdom.  Cooper is a very typical pug puppy and you will be laughing all the time at the antics he pulls.  Pugs are nothing but sheer delight to have.  Please keep on posted. I love Cooper.

In response to Sue VDB, Does that stand for Vandervilt???  Just thought I’d ask?  Yes, that would be me who posts on DP.  Who else is silly enough to have a beautiful blue Great Dane named Miss Katie, 7 years old, a beautiful Himalayan Cat named Miss Jassmine, and a brand new PUG PUPPY named Mini Anderson Cooper. I am loving this new puppy.  He is really waking me at times that are Ungodly, but I love him anyway… He is my wee little Boy.  E

Sue VDB, I have seen Bo Peep many times on the DP and love to see your comments.  I love the DP also.
