Helping out

As a puppy I believe it is important to help out around the house where I can. As such I have taken on many jobs around the house. I am the self appointed doorpup that greets guests and scares away the noises in the hall. I am the food vacuum for when they drop cereal on the floor, or accidentally get peanut butter on their fingers. However, my most important job is helping out with making the bed. So here is my guide to fellow puppies on how to help make the bed.

When you hear pillows and whatever else may be on the bed getting thrown on the floor, make sure to make a beeline for the bedroom where this is occurring and immediately hop on to the bed. The stage of bed making and degree of bed messiness dictates the next step. 

If the bed is relatively neat, or if you were a little slow to arrive such that bed making has already commenced, hop on to the top cover and find a comfy place to settle down. When I do this, N continues to make the bed and I end up getting pulled along for the ride as she pulls the sheets up. This is fun :)

If you are on the ball and arrive early, or the bed was particularly messy, you have a very important job...to be a lump! All properly made beds need a lump. To do this, stake out a spot such that you end up under the covers. When I do this, N continues to make the bed and I end up in a nice cozy tent. 

Below is the result of my help. I was on the ball that day. Can you see me?

Sometimes if I am late in arriving, I can still end up in a cozy tent by positioning myself on the bed such that I end up under the covers on the end of the bed.

 

Here I am in my cozy tent.

And here I am making my escape!

I hope this guide has been helpful. Remember, your bed may be made differently than mine is. If unsure, take one day to observe the process and then jump in the next day. If done right, you will fulfill your duty of being a lump. Enjoy the time you get as a lump. It is fleeting.
