Bedtime for Bonzo - oops Baron

Hi All,
Bedtime has become quite the issue here at Poodle Place. Well, bedtime itself is not the problem, as in going to bed - going to sleep is not even the problem. The problem is staying asleep when a 65 pound standard poodle is hogging my side of the bed!!! He starts out in the middle, with his head on the extra pillow. It looks promising - a good night sleep for all (especially me). Pretty soon, things deteriorate. Baron migrates to my side of the bed, and stays there. I am usually lucky to have his head and not his tail. I try to shove him over to my husband's side - doesn't work. I lift him up by his collar and gently move him over. This works - for about 3 seconds. Before I know it Baron is back - head on my pillow. Sometimes he is generous and lifts his head to allow me a tiny corner of the pillow.

I know what you're thinking. Doesn't this dog have a crate? Nope - he did, but my husband, Vance, used it to make a go-cart for the dog to race around in! (just kidding) Actually, Vance doesn't want the dog to be confined to a crate. I'd like to confine him to Vance's side of the bed!

Enough for now. I'm going to take a nap.

The Beginning

Hi All!
This is exciting, as it is my first post on my new Poodle Place Blog. I'm just trying this out to see how it works, and given my difficulties with anything technical, this should be quite a challenge. Baron recently got hold of my keyboard, perhaps I should as his help?

Well, that's it for right now. Wish me luck!
