i have a serious problem. I am addicted to my puppy. I only think this is a problem, because sometimes it prevents me from doing things or getting excited about things. Shia sleeps in our bed. She is my cuddle monster. Jared usually only wants to cuddle for 11 minutes and then he’s over it, plus most of the time he goes to bed later than I do, which defeats my cuddling hopes and dreams. So when we got Shia, she was not allowed to sleep in the bed for about 6 months, then she tore her ACL, and we both felt so bad for her because she won’t sleep on a dog bed, and she likes her kennel but she hates to have pillows or blankets in there. So it was just the hard ground. When she had her torn ACL we wanted her to be comfy as possible, since she pretty much had to lay down for 9 weeks! This is when the attachment began. Shia now cuddles me to sleep every single night. I wake up if she even flinches or twitches because we sleep so dang close. Jared loves it because Shia and I spoon and he gets the other side of the bed all to himself.
Now she’s been sleeping on our bed for about a year, and it’s totally her bed now too. I can’t sleep without her there. I love to cuddle up to her. Now when we have plans to go out of town or not be at home, where Shia can’t come then I have to have my parents watch her. They are good with her, and she likes to play with her cousin puppies. But I can’t sleep without her gentle soothing snores!

All this is because next week, I am staying about 30 minutes away from home in a hotel from Tuesday - Saturday {with Jared — thank heavens}. Of course, Shia L. Spinelly can’t come with us, and I have been excited to go to the convention, but I am for sure going to have separation anxiety, and I probably won’t sleep to well.. I am like this when Jared isn’t home too. But that’s only happened like twice, and we’ve left Shia more times than I care to remember, so that’s why this post is geared toward the pup. I can’t sleep at all without my husband, imagine if I didn’t have either. Oh boy. Heart attack.
Anyway, are any of you like this?
Am I totes being crazy? It is like a legit concern of mine.
