Shadow, on the bed. It'll take a cookie to get her to leave for her own bed.

[George McGovern]

[question everything]

1. She looks comfortable enough

[George McGovern]

6. Thanks question everything. She's a very good comfortable-er.

[Bayard]

2. She looks pretty comfy

And, she says--YOU sleep in the little bed on the floor!

[George McGovern]

7. Ha Ha Bayard - How'd you know she says that? Thanks!

[Mr.Bill]

3. Once you start handing out cookies in the bed

it's a slippery slope.

On a cold night I would like nothing better than to snuggle with that big fuzzy girl.

[George McGovern]

8. It's like she knows just what to do to get a cookie.

Makes me wonder, who's training whom. Next cold night we'll loan her out to you.

[Skittles]

4. THAT DOG IS SPOILED

I CAN TELL

[2naSalit]

5. LOL!

It's obvious!

[George McGovern]

11. Thank You 2naSalit! It is, isn't it.

[George McGovern]

10. Right you are Skittles! Thanks!

[Skittles]

19. SHE THINKS SHE IS ALL THAT

and.......well, she is

[George McGovern]

26. Her thinking is pretty simple Skittles. Basically "ShadowCentric." You are very perceptive!

[SheltieLover]

9. She has you well trained, George

Gorgeous girl she is!

[George McGovern]

12. TySL! The trainer becometh the trainee . . .

[SheltieLover]

14. Indeed we do]!

She sure is gorgeous!

[George McGovern]

15. Ty! She is that.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yep. She gets a nice bedtime snack in a lovely soft bed each night.

She is a doll and smart too.

[George McGovern]

27. You know it Irish_Dem. She has us wrapped 'round her paw. Thank You!

[3catwoman3]

13. She knows her rightful...

…place.

[George McGovern]

16. Thanks 3catwoman3. And she's teaching us what it is.

[3catwoman3]

17. Her eyes match the headboard!

Interesting.

[George McGovern]

18. You noticed. Thank You!

[murielm99]

20. That's her bed!

Our pets always sleep in the same bed with us. Everyone has his or her own spot.

We are down to one cat now.

[George McGovern]

28. It is, murielm99!

However could we have thought otherwise. I imagine you miss your pets-in-the-bed-with-you. It is good your one cat still has their spot.

[ZonkerHarris]

21. Good dog.

[George McGovern]

30. How'd you know? Yes, ZonkerHarris, she is. I like your user name - Zonker's the best!

[CousinIT]

22. Awww. Beautiful baby! But if you want her off the bed...

...you have to pay the bribe! (give her a cookie).

That's how they train their humans.

[George McGovern]

31. Ha Ha YOU know how it works CousinIT! My wife and I are in training every day. Thank You!

[ShazzieB]

23. Awww, that gorgeous girl looks so comfy!

Your photos of her always bring out her personality so vividly that I feel like I know her, even though we've never actually met.

I really love the colors in this one, too. So rich and vivid, including her eyes! I don't think I've ever seen dog with eyes that color, and they are stunning.

[George McGovern]

32. Awww, thank you ShazzieB! She's one of a kind for sure, with personality to spare.

And those eyes — well, they can be very persuasive!

[calimary]

24. I can hear it now: "THIS...

is MINE.”

[George McGovern]

33. You hear it too calimary? You're right. No doubt what she's saying. Thanks!

[brer cat]

29. She's so gorgeous she takes my breath away.

She deserves her cookie!

[George McGovern]

34. Thank You Kindly brer cat. She DOES deserve her cookie!

[Ziggysmom]

35. I could never say no to that face! When the hubby and I bought a new bed, we replaced the

Queen with a King size. His logic was we needed more room for the kitties ❤️ He was correct. We got an adjustable bed with massage for my husbands health problems, but the cats seem to think it was for their comfort. I think she deserves TWO cookies!

[George McGovern]

36. Beautiful photograph Ziggysmom! Yes, gotta have room for cats and dogs.

As far as your suggestion that she deserves TWO cookies, I hope you won't mind if I don't tell her that. She would, however, readily agree! Thank You!

[niyad]

39. What gorgeous little beings. And so thoughtful of their parents to get a large enough

bed for all to be comfortable.

[niyad]

37. Good morning, Shadow. Your silly daddy thinks he can bribe you off that nice,

comfy bed onto the floor with a single cookie. You should have at least two.

[George McGovern]

38. "I agree absolutely niyad!"

"Daddy thinks he's bribing me, but you and I know better, don't we. I mean, how would he like it if HE had to sleep on the floor! In fact, next time he tells me to get off his bed I'll just stare at him with my big eyes that mean business and point to the floor. And I won't move! Oh, thank you niyad. I feel better. It's great to have someone who cares on my side!"

Your,
Shadow

[Diamond_Dog]

40. If she were mine

She’d have me wrapped around her little paw!

Beautiful pic, George!

[George McGovern]

41. She has a way of doing just that Diamond. Thank You!
