The ongoing saga of B-B and B Part 26: Remember that old Carpenter's song, "Close to You"?

 You can easily find the song Close to You by the sibling duo Richard and Karen Carpenter through any of a number of search engines.  But B and B-B would like to show off their versions of close to you through interpretive sleeping positions.  First up:

Couch Cuddling

Now for a side close up:

Bed Buddies

Floor Friends

And finally, an in-your-face close up because not only do they like to be close to each other, they like to be close to you too!  (Because B and B-B say if you're following this blog you've got to be a pretty great person!)

The ongoing saga of B-B and B Part 20: Sleeping positions in Sept. 2022

On the downstairs couch they have very different spots.  B has that couch. Always.  B-B is allowed to be on the floor but B blocks him if he tries to join her on the downstairs couch. She bops his head with her paw if he tries to get on and she'll herd him right off if he happens to actually get on the couch.

B-B seems pretty content to be on the floor downstairs and will roll onto his back for some tummy scritches.

B usually curls into an sled dog ball on the couch and will sometimes even tuck her head under her tail.  She definitely tucks in her nose when she curls up this way outside.  She's going to love the coming storm.  We keep them inside most of the time but she loves going out and lying in the snow.

Under the bed side by side.

B-B finally decided he wanted to stretch out in his usual spot with his legs extended under the bed so B just had to scrunch next to him.

This is a typical hallway sleeping pose.  B-B sprawled next to a wall and B lying down in a more dignified position.  She'll roll over on her back for her humans and only occasionally with B-B.  B-B rolls on his back daily.

 And finally they do share the upstairs couch a lot when the humans aren't on it.  They also don't usually contest us about sitting on the couch-they just move off.  (Except for B bumping off Daisy. https://cookingandorscience.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-ongoing-saga-of-b-b-and-b-part-18.html )

Here again are typical poses: B-B relaxed with his head on the arm of the couch as his pillow and B perched where she can keep vigil-looking out the window to make sure nothing is invading her pack's space be it human, dog, bird, or squirrel!

The ongoing saga of B-B and B Part 16: Cuddles

Yes, these two will share a cot.  Combined weight 140 lbs.

Often B-B just wants to sleep.

But B is trying to get him to look up for the picture.

We often get the best natural poses when they jump on the queen bed.  They know it's a rare treat and they always behave very nicely with each other and with the rest of their pack (the humans!).

 I especially love this one.  None of these were posed and I love their expressions.  B is still at attention and B-B is relaxed, just letting her rest on him.  This is a common thing-they will often snuggle together and B is usually the one to use B-B as a pillow!
