My Favorite Bed in the World . . . Right NOW

I have had many many beds in my 9+ years. Many. Do any of you remember my SNOOPY bed? Or my SOCK MONKEY bed. Ahhhh. Those were two of the best. Last year Mommy bought me a NEST BED from Costco and honestly - it is my ALL TIME favorite. Once I get in there, I'm absolutely NOT coming out. It is a whole 'nother dimension from what I am discussing here. I am talking the BEST bed NOT my nest.

So I have a Star Trek bed from Pugs in the Kitchen and I love love love it. Mommy is a HUGE Star Trek fan and I like a comfy bed. Win win. It is durable and washable, too. But it is getting on in years and the stuffing is kinda thinning out. Compressing, maybe. It will be fluffy after a wash and then flat within days. I still sleep on it but it is a shadow of its former COMFY self.

Fast forward to a need for some supplies from Chewy.com. You all know how much I love love love my Chewy.com. Anyhoooooo, Molly and Sunshine were running out of wet food and Sunshine needed cat litter so - CHEWY to the rescue. It arrived in a day or so in this wonderful box. And oddly enough, the box had no dents or scuffs. It was just perfect. So Mommy kind of left it laying around trying to decide if she should put it in recycle when it DAWNED on her! My Star Trek Bed would fit perfectly in it and the box would help it keep its shape. So she tried it and believe me . . . I wasted no time at all jumping into the box BED and settling down for a nap.

Now this is likely where you will find me (when I am not in my nest bed. But the nest stays in Mommy's room and the door is usually closed) snuggling in for a nap.

Speaking of which. . . HEY Molly! Care to join me? I put your mat right next to my BOX.

Late Outta The Gate

It's Monday, what can I say. I am cold and tired from the weekend. I just want to lay in my NEST BED and dream. Well, the sun is peaking through right now so maybe I will go sniff around the yard some. We have some apples that fell off the OLD tree (not many and they never got very big). I keep finding them and snacking on them. They are tasty, I swear. But the weeds are so tall in the back that I GET LOST trying to find them. And I don't hear MOMMY yelling for me. And I get in trouble.

So MAYBE I will just stay here. . . in my NEST BED . . . and keep warm and dry . . . and dream. . .

If You're Looking For ME, I'll Be Under The Bed

I need to get away. Sometimes a PUG just needs a little quiet and space. I found the perfect spot UNDER Mommy #1's bed. She put it on RISERS and it made a lot of room where she can store stuff (like old costumes). I found this green flat thing and I think it makes a PERFECT bed for a little PUGGY like me.

So if you call me and I don't come. . . check under the bed. I am sure to be here. . . chilling and taking time to MYSELF.

EveryPUGGY's Getting One So I HAD To!!!

I had been seeing everyPUGGY getting these new NEST BEDS from Costco and I pondered long and hard on DO I NEED IT? I mean, my STAR TREK bed is my absolute FAVE bed and I really only need it during the day (cuz I have maneuvered my way on to Mommy's bed); and not really even then. We have, hmmmm let's see, a brown pillow bed, Star Trek pillow bed from PITK, round red snuggle bed, blue Martha Stewart bed, a Shark bed, and a purple cocoon bed. We all take turns sleeping in all of the beds, depending on mood and room (they are not all in the same room. Sometimes we fight over the bed and then we get in TROUBLE. But you see, other than the Star Trek bed, all of the other beds belong to MOLLY (and the purple cocoon is Sunshine's). So at any given time, I can be BOOTED from a bed because it is NOT mine. And Mommy did not feel right putting any of those beds in her room for when we are just hanging out. So we put our heads together and took a look at the Costco NEST BED.

The thing about the NEST BED is the size. It is PERFECT PUG size. Molly, too, but she can actually fit anywhere, like a weasel (oh! That was not nice. Bad Noodles). Unlike me. I need a little more space to maneuver. But the NEST BED was a little pricey compared to all of our other beds. Even the Martha Stewart ones because we got them on CLOSE OUT. But Mommy prevailed and said I deserved a nice bed once in a while. And so she went ahead and ordered it.

It arrived yesterday and HONESTLY, I didn't know what it was. It is TALL. It is ROUND. It is unlike all of the other beds - the red one being the closest.

Mommy got tired of me looking at it and not climbing in it. She picked me up and placed me in the bed. I felt myself being enveloped in incredible softness like I have never felt before. It was HEAVEN!

This is where I slept ALL NIGHT. Not in any other bed, including Mommy's. For the first time in about 7 years I slept on the floor, off Mommy's bed, and ALL NIGHT LONG.

It is safe to say I LOVE MY NEW BED.

Back in My Own BED. . . Actually, It's Mommy's Bed

I like traveling, but I mostly like returning home to MY OWN BED. I cannot explain it, actually. But once I get home and snuggle with Mommy in her bed, I relax and feel so much more like myself.

Mommy was up VERY late the day we returned home. She just was not sleepy after all that packing and driving and going to work. I think she had no down time and so had trouble relaxing enough to sleep.

I had NO PROBLEM. As soon as I got home I settled down on my Star Trek bed and was sawing LOGS for a long time before Mommy decided she absolutely HAD to get to bed. So she picked me up, all groggy and sleepy, and took me to our bedroom. She put me on the bed and told me to LAY DOWN but NOT ON HER PILLOWS.

This is where she found me.

Mommy was not happy.

I was so asleep (or so she THINKS) that she could NOT move me over. And THAT is how I came to dominate the bed. The next morning Mommy was even sleepier.

On Top of Ol' Smokey - A Kitty Tale

I am KITTY, hear me ROAR. . .
Nah, it's just me, Sunshine the Cat. I like to nap. There are several perches around the house expressly for that purpose. But, I pretty much sleep wherever I want to and usually that means the DOGS' BEDS. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Today I had it in mind to sleep IN THE CRATE. If any of you remember, Noodles is particularly FOND of her crate. It is her sanctuary. . .  her happy place . . . blah. . .blah . . . blah.

So I sauntered over to said SANCTUARY to catch a few ZZZZs and what did I find? The door was closed. Oh, not just closed. . . but barricaded! What to do, what to do. That was when I noticed another favorite snooze place of mine - Noodles's very special SOCK MONKEY BED. Ha! I thought! That will serve her right for keeping me from snoozing in the crate!

The rest, as they say, is HISTORY!
