I finally figured I'd better go ahead and get them fed. All I had to do was whisper "anyone want chow?" and they all shot up like they'd been catapulted. 
Kharma wanted to go back to sleep after she ate, so Tallulah decided chilling out was probably a very good idea, even when Bimmer kept poking her with his nose whenever she'd tuck her head to go to sleep. 'Lullah's turned him into a puppy again, lol!

Aww...I had no choice but to get up to feed them. Sawyer was staring intenetly at me and Virgo kept wandering in and out of the bedroom like "either feed me yourself soon, or I'll do it." And since there is a full platter of chicken espinanca enchiladas in the fridge that I would probably be killed over if Virgo ate them, I got up.
It hit me the other night, as I was propped up in bed, with my stacks of pillows behind me, computer across my knees and three dogs curled around me snuffling and twitching in their dreams, how natural that is to me, and when I closed the computer and set it aside and settled down into the pillows and the dogs shifted in their sleep to accommodate my shape, Kharma shifting just enough to become part of a pillow for me, Tallulah uncurling just enough to nestle her head in my neck, Bimmer, as always, guarding at the foot of the bed with his head to the door, that I am very nearly one of them in so many ways.
And yes, that does sound marginally crazed to a lot of people (probably not so much here, lol). And it may very well be. The gods know that all I know of truly loving and looking at the world I learned from my dogs and even a couple of cats. I suppose there are many worse teachers.

One of the best things I've learned from my dogs is how to live totally in the moment and it's probably saved my sanity and even life a few times. Don't think about all the outside crap, just enjoy being curled up under a pile of sleeping dogs with a good book and glass of something, or enjoy the wind blowing through the trees while you race through the leaves, just because you can. Everything can be made at least marginally better by petting The Dog.
That was very nice, Renee. I like the mental picture of you and the pups all snuggled together. I am in bed, on the computer, and Uncle Fred just walked in and settled himself on my feet--so I know the feeling.
And I know how it is when they are all snuggled and you keep putting off getting up, taking them out and giving them supper. But you know you have to do it eventually....but sleepy beagle ears are so soft and warm...but you have to do it eventually.......
