what's under the bed?

the past several nights, i have noticed milo has been falling asleep with his head hanging off of his bed and underneath our bed. we spent some time pondering a logical reason for this - is it cooler under there? is it too bright in the room for him to really enjoy his shut eye? is he afraid monsters will get him?

so i sent the husband on a mission. and what did we find? a plethora of doggie delight: his favorite glow in the dark/indestructible green ball, three (count them 1, 2, 3!) bones, his orange rubber chicken and of course, plenty of his winter coat...just think of all the sweet dreams this pup has been having after staring at such goodness!

however, now that we know this and thus once pulled these items out from the abyss, he now sits and gazes under the bed softly whining until one of us musters up the energy to retrieve what has slipped from his paws, across the hardwood and under the bed. good thing i'm the one who is in charge of giving him his medicine - looks like this is the husbands new "fatherly" role!
