Three Scotties and one dog bed can create some power struggles. When the bed is in front of the fireplace, where we can feel the warmth, that dog bed is especially appealing and you can find either Sadie or I occupying it. We normally switch off lying in the bed, but sometimes, both of us share the bed, but only if we are both in a good mood.
Normally, if Sadie is lying on the bed, I can walk up and claim a spot on the bed next to her, but if I am lying on the bed by myself and Sadie walks up to share the bed, depending how I feel, I may or may not let her.
Molly never lies on our dog bed if it is by the fireplace, but she will stake her claim on it when the bed is on the floor in the nook by the bookshelves. She is a solutary bed user and Sadie and I don’t try to share the bed with her.
Recently, for the first time, Molly came up to me when I was on the bed in the nook and I didn’t want to share. She’s a little bigger than Sadie and both of us wouldn’t have fit on the bed, so I gave her the stink eye and she left.
Isn’t it amazing how we Scotties work out our dog bed dilemmas without any human intervention?

Molly: Care to share? Riley: Not really!
