I bet you sleep in a big bed. You have a bed, don’t you? The kind that is WAY up high off the floor? The kind with room for the cats to sleep underneath? There is a bed like that in my house too! I used to sleep in it. I really liked sleeping in the bed and cuddling with Mom. I can’t get up there anymore and it makes me very sad.
I’ve thought about different ways to get up there. As they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. I bet you’re tall when you stand up on two legs. Are you tall enough that you can just sit down and swing your legs up into the bed? I could never figure out how to get on the bed the way you humans do. You are very strange creatures.
We doggies have to jump up on things, you know. One day it began to be very hard for me to jump up onto the bed. I don’t know why. My back legs just couldn’t launch me up there anymore!

For a while, I climbed up. It was hard but I figured out how to put my front legs up and then climb up using that hidden step. Did you know there is a hidden step on your bed? I don’t know why they don’t make it bigger. It’s almost completely hidden under the big cushiony thing on top the bed.
Comment from Mom: She’s talking about the mattress!
I had to wiggle my back toes under to use that step. And I eventually slid that big cushiony thing over and made the step bigger. But it helped me get up there for a while.
The only trouble was, when I did manage to get the whole way up there, I had to JUMP back down. Head first!

Would you get off the bed head first? It’s a bit scary. It’s very high! Landing on my front legs hurt sometimes. I think that bed was getting higher. I’m sure that was it. Mom moves the furniture around sometimes.
I bet she made the bed higher.
SHE could still get in it though so maybe it just didn’t like me and made itself higher when I tried to get up.
Eventually I stopped trying to get on the bed with Mom. She said she missed me and would come sleep on the floor with me sometimes. She gave me a big fluffy blankie that we used on the bed so I’m comfy. And Mom’s friend gave me my very own Rick and Morty blankie

So I am warm; but I miss being on the bed. I used to sleep on it even when Mom wasn’t home.
Mom says that if we ever GO on this diet she keeps talking about, I will be able to get up on the bed again! I don’t know how that will work but I hope so. Maybe they lower beds there. I don’t know how she will bring it with us though because I don’t think it will fit in my car. I really hope I can get back on the bed someday.
