Hog Blog, Duvet Dilemma!


Molly The Wallys' duvet dilemma.

Molly The Wallys' duvet dilemma.


Do you have bedroom battles sparked by a duvet? Hogging the covers is the top cause of arguments in the bedroom. Researchers found that snoring was the second most common cause of bedtime arguments, with one in ten couples falling out over it at least twice a week. My top tip to stopping your human snoring is to jump on your human with squeaky toy in mouth and squeak away until the snoring stops. They may not appreciate being woken up but at least you can go back to sleep. I not only concur with both of the above but in addition I also have serious space management issues. I often have to resort to the butt budge or the paw push, to reclaim much needed territory. Other problems include bedside lights that are on when I want to sleep, ditto TV and the worse the dreaded laptop. Lastly most inconsiderate of all is the phone be it landline or mobile. To combat such thoughtlessness I suggest crawling under the duvet commando style until your human finally goes to sleep. When the cost is clear, climb out making sure you walk on top of your human as payback. Why can’t my human go and find a bedroom of their own and let sleeping dogs lie? And remember one good turn, get’s the duvet!

  3. You got some good tips there Molly! My problem is Muffin always tries to steal the covers and NOT my hoomans! She likes to roll herself up in them. Got any tips for that dilema?

    Hugs,

  5. We don't blame you for hogging the duvet in this awful weather!
    Our Dad is a terrible snorer, we may try your solution in place of Mum's suggestion of putting a pillow over his face until he stops breathing.

    1. Hi guys I did LOL just now! Other suggestions are sewing tennis balls onto the back of PJ's so they can't sleep on their backs and snore. I have a nice collection I could send you.

  6. You make us laugh all the time Miss Molly. WE don't have no bedtime problems here cause there are so many beds, if one gets pushed out or snored out, you just go to another bed in another room.

    Although I sure wish I had a pretty comforter like you got.

  8. I prefer the butt push. It really gets their attention. Specially after the evening walk, if you get what I'm sayin...

    1. Hi Furries
      Your mum looks after you real good with blankie , pillows and toys. My human often finds not only toys but the odd half chewed pigs ear or dirty tennis ball in bed , all of which end up at the bottom of the stairs.

    1. Hi Caren and Cody , seems that we all have issues and the only ones without are our furry friends with their own beds. You get all the duvet in Summer and none in Winter. Fight for your right to Duvet, I say.

  16. Hi Y'all,

    I'm learning more and more from my blogville friends about why I'm not allowed in the Human's bed or on their furniture...though they give me such great stuff of my own I don't care.

    How y'all doin'? Just stoppin' for a visit. Hope y'all have been enjoying a fantastic week and are planning a fun weekend!

    Y'all come by now,
