| Fleur's lovely face |
Now you can please wake up again, because it will not be another boring reason about naming my greyhound.!
However, I think that greyhounds have power, flower power! Remember back in the 1960's and 1970's (for those of you who were fortunate enough to be around then) when the phrase "flower power" was seen on lots of hippy vehicles, buildings, clothing, etc! I never spent much time thinking about it then, but now, I think about it nearly every day!
For instance, last summer, I decided to let Fleur and Power use the sofa so that I had more floor space open. I went to the trouble of buying two sleeping bags to protect the sofa upholstery. I made sure that the sleeping bags were a pleasing color so that my living room was attractive, and the zippers were all closed to keep the dog fur off the sofa upholstery. Everything was working so well that I actually began to pat myself on the back for having such a good idea!
The the "flower power" started working, and the sleeping bag fabric began to look frayed on the bottom sleeping bag. I also noticed Power licking on the sleeping bag fabric!? What's that about? I also noticed that the sleeping bag zippers were no longer zipped, and that the "flower" and the "power" were busily pulling the sleeping bag fabric off the sofa cushions and making themselves very comfortable on the sofa fabric!
They both seem to like showing their heads under a portion of the soft and silky sleeping bag fabric. I never see them doing that with fleece or other fabric.
I believe that the pictures speak for themselves, don't you?
I noticed that we have a new follower, by the name of Melton Mitchell. Welcome to you!
I've come to the conclusion that whatever beds, pads, covers, etc., we put down for our fur babies they will always want to fluff them up, move them around and generally do their own thing, often with a lot of sighs and moaning :) LOL
ReplyDeleteI have to reluctantly agree, but am still thinking of sewing the sleeping bags closed and trying that for a while!
DeleteI don't know any French, so when you call her, is her name pronounced flower?
ReplyDeleteHi Judith, I do not pronounce it "flower" but the french pronunciation is one syllable only, and I cannot figure out a way to explain the sound!
DeleteThanks for your comment!
Why zip them closed? That reduces the area by half. Why not keep them unzipped and opened up? And then you could buy huge safety pins and pin the sleeping bags to the top, middle and bottom, sides, etc. of the couch and they wouldn't move. Or something like that. ??? That type of material on the bags is slippery, though, and they will easily move it around unless it's anchored somehow. Quite a conundrum. Love seeing the photos of the dogs! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen they are zipped, they are wrapped all the way around a set of cushions. I did not put a sleeping bag on top of the cushions and leave it zipped!
DeleteHa ha ha! This is one of my favorite posts of yours! It sounds like you have a pair of professional bed fluffers! Bunny can move blankets off the back of our couch and rearrange them wherever she wants them. It's hilarious to watch her, because she looks so determined while she's working on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that other dogs are doing the same. It makes me realize that I'm not a total failure!
DeleteI came home today to the comforter pulled off of the futon and they had pulled blankets out of the closet!
ReplyDeleteDo they know how to open the closet door? We need videos of each others dogs in action!
DeleteThe pups definitely get an A+ for persistence! They're very good sleepers...
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteWhy not put the sofa cushions inside the sleeping bags and then zip them up?
ReplyDeleteBeen reading for a long time, just not usually a commenter :-)

Thank you for your comment, Karen, and about the cushions... what you suggested is what I have been doing. These genius greyhounds have learned how to unzip the sleeping bags and make themselves comfy!
