Remember Back When You Were a Little Kid And........

......you would take a day trip somewhere with your parents? It would be a big, exciting event to visit relatives or family friends. You would run around and play all day, probably eat lots of treats, and just have a grand old time. Your parents would stay into the evening and sometime after dinner they would start the drive home. You'd be in the back seat, maybe curled up with a sibling, and soon be fast asleep. The next thing you'd know, it would be morning, you'd be in your own bed and you would have no memory of how you got there. You were so deeply sound asleep when you arrived at home that your parents were able to carry you all the way inside and put you in bed. You never even woke up!

Well we can do that with Jimmy. He'll fall so deeply asleep at the end of a long day that we can pick him up, carry him upstairs, and plop him on the bed. He will barely crack an eye, just laying his head down on John's shoulder and continue snoozing on the ride up the steps. I have tried on several occasions to get a photo of this cutest of little behaviors but just like Wilson's rug wiggle, Jimmy does not want this caught on camera! He always senses I've got the camera, and won't relax back into his sleep. No camera, it's nothing but ZZZZZZZZZZs.

I've wanted to tell this story for a while, but  could never capture the moment. So I give up! Here's the best I could do.......

Jimmy: MUST.STAY.AWAKE. Can't be caught snoozing on camera!

  2. SHE remembers feigning sleep sometimes, so SHE could be carried up to bed....the photo of Jimmy brings back memories.

  3. What a wonderful story! It makes me smile to visualize it. Jimmy is very well loved, as is Wilson.

    We once had a dog who slept so deeply that we could put little treats under his lips (between his lips and teeth) while he slept. It would be a fun surprise when he woke up (now that I tell the story, it sounds like a choking hazard but we were watching closely).

  9. Yep -- too sweet. This is an example of the many reasons why I always refer to Cardi's as "sweet and low."
