I love my little troublemaker, Pixie, so much. And her sidekick Stella. They don’t get as much attention as they used to, but I think they’ve adapted pretty well to 2 new babies in the house. They have a different routine, a different place to sleep and eat, and did I mention, much less attention?

Which is possibly why, lately, they keep waking me up in the middle of the night. It’s mostly troublemaker Pixie. She comes and sits next to my bed and whines and talks to me until I pick her up and put her in bed with me to sleep. And there is no ignoring that whine. I’ve shown you before how she goes on and on. The nights Pixie does that, then Stella wills sometimes crawls under the bed to sleep! Why? Why would she leave her comfy dog bed to sleep there? If only I could speak dog and know the answer.

I also wonder if this new nighttime routine might be partially my fault. Not only because I let Pixie get her way when she whines, but because I’ve been known to talk in my sleep. Maybe my talking and laughing in my sleep wakes them up first. Hmm… Maybe I should set up a video camera at night and see what happens. Or learn to speak dog.
