To state the obvious, I just love taking pictures of Frankie and Merry Myrtle sleeping! The "togetherness" is initiated more by Frankie than Myrtle. He insists on laying next to her, or on her all the time! Once I'm in the mix though, they both are jockeying for snuggling position to see who can get closest to me, or on me!
Although I maybe squished, or unable to move more than an inch, I savor every second sleeping eith these blanket hogs!

Night, night, sleep tight, don't let the little bedbugs bite!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Sally- this is hilarious and adorable. It makes me think of that photo you sent to the organization before adopting Frankie, showing them that there was a Frankie-shaped spot on the bed for him. Myrtle has kept that promise to him even when you're not right there cuddling with them!

Love, love, love these!
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
PS Hannah's banner is at the top of my page, showing just how much she approves of this arrangement. Of course, she engineered it, so it must be right!
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

I'd be there if I lived closer! Never can get enough puppy snuggles! I'll bring the wine and chocolate and sweet potato treats for the furfaces. And a chick flick. Maybe Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. 😀 Oh yea and popcorn too. Plus I'll have to bring all my furfaces too. That's 3 more including Max. Anyone else want to join us?
Linda & Max with Ollie & Riley too

I love it. I love each and everyone of these pictures. I know you love all the snuggles you get. We would need 2 kings size beds for all of us plus our furkids lol. Oh but the fun we could have of a slumber party 🙂
