My fondest childhood memories are those centered around my pets. The warmth of their furry bodies against mine, the comforting cadence of their rhythmic breathing in the quiet are memories I wouldn't trade for the world. And now, a zillion years later, they are still in the bed, and still giving me such comfort, it's indescribable!! Everyone, including the kitties Mr. B and Oliver, jockey for position. The signal that it's bedtime......??? When the toothbrush comes out! Yes, one swipe of the pearly whites and they RUN for the bed! Cody is usually at the foot of the bed; she's a Husky x and likes it cooler. Star loves to sleep between my legs strrrrrrrrrrretched out with Oliver curled in her stomach, and Mr. B is on my head. Thankfully, I a sleeper who curls into a ball and doesn't move. How could I anyway??

And of course, it was as a child, laying beside my doggie in bed, that I first discovered Frito Feet!!! Now what would life be without that heavenly scent!! And you GO Mario!!!

Loved all of your stories. Phred...your's was especially touching....
