no more monkeys jumping on the bed

i always put atlas’ bed on the rebounder while i vacuum the downstairs. i paused my vacuuming efforts yesterday to take a quick photo in the kitchen. while i was doing so, i heard a thump, and came out of the kitchen to see what was going on. this is the sight that greeted me.

i am pretty sure there is a rule that says no dogs on the rebounder. apparently that rule is rendered null and void if the dog’s bed is on the rebounder.

p.s. apparently atlas fell in love with a little white pug at the doggy ranch. they’re in the photo on the left, six rows down, surveying their doggy ranch-dom. don’t they look cute?

  1. haha… sooo CUTE! Actually, at first I thought maybe you bought Atlas one of those luxury dog beds! He probably thinks that’s what this is now! LOL… aaawww… Atlas has a girlfriend–that is so sweet! Are they at the stage of sending dog treats to each other? ;o) LOVED seeing those photos of the doggy ranch–what a WONDERFUL place! Next time you go on vacation, Elizabeth, can I go with Atlas to the doggy ranch?! It looks like such fun there. Thank you for your kind visit and condolences. ((HUGS))

    @amy: a mini-trampoline.
    @tracy: the funny thing is that my first thought was, “hey! maybe i should leave his bed there! it could be a comfy orthopedic pet bed!”

    i love atlas and i love the doggy ranch pictures!!
    what in the world is it about dogs? they just reach in and grab your heart. i’d say anyone having a bad day could just look at the doggy ranch pictures and they’d feel happier!
    he likes his new orthopedic bed elizabeth…
    how clever you are mom!
    love,

  5. Ooooh, I love this so much!! I just love how our dogs crave their comforts and will sometimes do the funniest (to us!) things to utilize them. And the ranch pics totally made me smile so big – what a great pair!! Hugs to you and Atlas!!

    I think I want to live at the doggie ranch!
    Love Atlas’s expression – “Well, YOU put it here, Mom!”

  7. Maybe he thinks the pug is a cat.

    aww, this pic reminds me of kia if her stuff, or any stuff really, is in a different location temporarily. she always checks it out and sits on it and pays special attention to it:) and then she looks so cute:)
    p.s. i’m assuming dog love isn’t the same as human love because if i fell in love on vacation, i would be very sad when i got home and never saw them again.

  9. yes, atlas and his little sweet friend are too cute. and what a wonderful place for atlas to be when you can’t be together! fun photos of all the doggies over there :)

    @jen t: the pictures are the best. they make me want to send all the dogs there!
    @helen: that’s so sweet! (and maybe atlas is sad. i don’t know. i’m hoping she’ll be there when he goes back in a couple of weeks. 😉
    @jerry: maybe! that would be funny.
    @sherron: me too. i wish we could vacation there together. i feel like he would love that the most. also – exactly!
    @patty: i know! better the dog bed than the floor, wherever the bed may be.
    @tammy: i think atlas is the clever one in this instance. :)

  11. oh atlas, i like the way you think! hugs.
