The making of the bed
One of the most fun things EVER is the making of the bed.
First, No. 2 takes all the blankies, the sheets, and everything off the bed. This is very exciting. All of a sudden there is a great wide expanse of empty bed for me to run around on, spin, jump, bark, rumpage, and FRAP!
Sometimes No. 2 joins in the fun.
Really?
Then he gets a new sheet and stands at the end of the bed. “You ready?”" he asks me.
I was BORN Ready!
He flaps the new sheet high in the air! It is so exciting!
I spin like a whirling top!
I surf the sheet, catching the leading edge and conquering it.
The sheet comes down.
You try to cover me but I am too swift.
No. 2 never gets it right the first time, and is forced to repeat the maneuver.
He is chagrined.
Do it again!
I am ready for Phase 2!
Then come the rest of the blankies and the pillows, etc. And the fun is over, until the next time!
Woofs,
Willie

Paws up, Toby!
Yes, one of the Klingons often participates in our bed-making, too. She has a very small brain, though, and she can’t figure out how to surf the sheet like I do. It always comes down on top of her and makes a lump. It’s very exciting to dart and bark at the lump. After a couple minutes she starts crying and saying, “Why did it get so dark in here?” Then she starts looking for a way out, and at that point the humans usually take pity and lift the side of the sheet so she can get out. Then we do it all over again.

Hi my friend
I love changing the bed too. my human tries to do it when she thinks we are asleep. no chance! We all join in – Me, Molly (another cavalier) and our two cats. There’s a competition to see who can spread their scent on the new bedding first. Sometimes my human gets grumpy and banishes us all from the bedroom – how mean is that?
