Man, does she like to sleep nowadays though.  She's got made as far as that concerned.  Couches, doggy bed, my bed, she gets her pick.  And I think that's alone is something I can take comfort in.  All of us really.  The fact of the matter is that we all have likely provided a helluva life for our pups. 

Ha! I hear you.  Mine has always slept wherever.....she used to sleep under the covers with me...but she is 70 pounds, and it got a little crowded when I got married....lol.  Now, our bed is too high for her to get in anyway.  She does a lot of sleeping, and she is now getting doted on by two little girls, that fight over who the dog will sleep with.

I feel very good about the life of my pup.  She hasn't got to run as much as she could have, but boy has she been pampered.  Our dogs used to roam free......until we found our Rottweiler on the highway on the way to work/school one awful morning.  That was a terrible day.....my poor father had to go scrape him off the road and bury him, I'll never forget watching him break down before unloading the dog to bury him.  Awful day.
