Breakthrough! (hopefully)

ok, i admit, i wasnt entirely awake and aware this morning, but i think that sumo slept in until 5.30ish before he had to be let out to pee/poop. (vs his normal 3.30-4.00am time) let's hope this is the start of a pattern (and yes, im not the one who takes him out at the butt crack o'dawn, but still, it's nice to have both doggies sleeping in)

also this morning, there was an unusual sleeping arrangement after he came back from his "relief" break. normally, he's allowed to sleep on the bed after coming back inside because he bangs on his kennel door, barks, and generally wakes up chibi. usually, he balls up next to me or mom, and then passes back out for another hour or so. this morning, i didnt feel him leaning against me, and couldnt find him next to mamma. after fumbling around in the dark a few more seconds, i felt something move by my feet. i looked up, and he wasnt there either, or was he? he had crawled under the covers, and burrowed his way to the foot of the bed and was balled up UNDER the covers at our feet. i lived the blankets up and looked at him, i got the "hey dude, close the door, it's cold" look as he went back to sleep.
