Today is going to be one of those days that doesn’t slow down until I crawl into bed tonight.
It began nice and early… extra early, actually.
As you may know, Ryan and I let Sadie sleep in our bedroom at night. Okay, so she actually sleeps in our bed. This image should give you a good idea about our nighttime slumber:

That picture is one of my all-time favorite Pinterest finds because it is so true. Sadie likes to begin the night curled up in the tiniest little ball. By the time the morning rolls around, she ends up spread out with rigor mortis legs pushing into our sides. We are such suckers.
Anyway, for the past two nights in a row, Sadie has hopped out of bed 20 minutes before our alarm was set to go off. Apparently she needed a 4:30 a.m. bathroom break.
Sadie usually sleeps through the night, so this was rather unusual. It is really hard to fall back asleep knowing you have to get up 20 minutes later, so Sadie got the stink eye from us all morning… which didn’t seem to faze her in the least.
Workout + Breakfast
Today’s workout rounded out week two of Best Body Boot Camp! Six weeks to go!
Once we were done at the gym, Ryan and I headed home for breakfast.
I made myself an egg scramble with chicken sausage, spinach, onion and feta cheese.
So savory!
I’m off to blow dry my hair and head out to work for a new-hire orientation. Then it’s off to Orlando for bachelorette party time!!!!
Question of the Morning
- If you have a pet, where does your pet sleep?

My mom and step dad have two boston terriers and even though they have them trained to sleep downstairs, I always let them sleep in my bed when I visit. I mean, how can you say no to those faces??
our dog does the exact same thing … starts out curled up sweetly in a 60 lb ball and by morning we are at the edges of the bed because she is sprawled out in the center! and we have a king size bed!! 🙂
Our English Setter is too big (70 lbs) and too hairy to sleep in our bed, so he has a largo memory foam bed on the floor. He also has a crate with an orthopedic bed in there which he prefers on most nights and we do too. No pacing in the morning to wake us up, just a couple whimpers and a wagging tail which is much more subtle!
Glad to see Sadie back to her old self. Praying she doesn’t get any more bumps!
I love that picture too! We have a dog who sleeps in our bed too. It starts with her on the floor, then on our covers then under the sheets. But who can say no to cute little dog faces?!
bahahha. yeah, I can relate to that photo at times. Lando hardly sleeps in our bed anymore. He has his own bed next to my side on the floor and is perfectly happy spreading out there. But when he does, it’s usually me falling off the bed. Our cat Chloe sleeps we us too (the other two stay in the bathroom since they chew through cables like candy) she sleeps on Eric’s pillow until he comes to bed and then spreads out between us taking up the majority of the bed.
One pup sleeps all curled up on his dog bed next to the bed. One pup sleeps in bed and does the same thing—starts out the night in a tiny ball of fur, and by AM, he’s usually got his head on the pillow next to me!
Sadie is so funny! I would probably be the one the dog would not want to sleep with… I’m a little restless! I’m jealous of your breakfast! I had today off and still only managed to snarf down a bowl of cereal!
That picture of her is hilarious!
My dog usually sleeps in our bedroom in his crate. He is VERY picky about his sleeping habits and has to have 2-3 blankets in his crate. Spoiled brat! He sleeps in our bed maybe once a week though just because I like to cuddle him. He always sleeps at my feet, though, and I feel like I’m kicking him all night!
My cat is probably the size of Sadie’s head and she still has a way of sprawling out that forces me to the edge of the bed. Animals have no concept of personal space!
Our dog sleeps in our bed too, and does the same thing as Sadie! He starts out curled up at the foot of the bed between us, but usually, when I wake up, he is all sprawled out in the middle of the bed and my fiance and I are each smushed to the edge of the bed. I don’t know how it happens, but it does, just about every night!
oh my gosh I am dying at Sadie’s current sleeping position in that photo!! she is such an adorable ham
its so gross to have a dog sleep in the bed. I mean even if you try to keep the dog clean its still dirty. where has its mouth been? what about his paws? plus all the hair in the bed, on your pillows etc. I actually broke up with a girl because she would always let her dog sleep in the bed. it was awkward and uncomfortable to get intimate if you know what i mean. good advice for all the single girls on here dont let your pets sleep in your bed if you want a guy!
we’ve been watching my fiancee’s aunt’s dog and this is pretty much how we’ve been sleeping! she decided she needed to go out at like 6am, even though the alarm was set for 6:30 – please just sleep for 30 more minutes!!!
I don’t let my dog on the furniture so she has about 3 beds in our house lol. Sometimes she just can’t get comfy and sleeps under the bed.
My dogs are thankfully really small so one sleeps at my feet and the other one curls up on my chest. He’s like 10 pounds and super fluffy so it feels like a pillow. haha Have so much fun at the bachelorette party today!
Jasper starts on his own bed in our room, but always ends up under the covers at my feet-so I am in the fetal position and am 31 weeks pregnant! It is not always so comfortable…but we are suckers for our Viszla too! They just bat those cute little eyes at you!
I actually have 2 dogs and 1 cat, but my family considers our cat to be “my” cat because she follows me around everywhere! When I’m home from college, she likes to sleep right on my pillow beside my head. It’s the most adorable thing! It’s not so adorable when she ends up moving over and sleeping on my head though haha!
We don’t have any pets. Eventually I would like to get a dog. My husband thinks all animals should be outdoor animals so I am going to have to fight to get the dog in the house at all. I don’t think our pets will ever sleep in bed with us, unless my husband is out of town. 🙂
Sadie is so cute, love that you gave her the “stink eye” all morning.
My cat used to sleep in my bed with me. Inevitably, he’d curl up as close as possible to me, then I would feel bad for moving because I didn’t want to disturb him. Can you believe that!?! I would lie there uncomfotrable and awake, while he slept like a baby…such a sucker!!! lol
My dog will start off sleeping in his bed and sometime during the night he will end up at the end of my bed. Sometimes he will burrow under the covers too lol. He cracks me up.
That is too funny. Sadie is huge, that is some tiny ball she’s in. Looks like she doesn’t leave you with much room in your bed. Our dog Frito used to sleep with my husband Tim before I met him, but when we got involved I put a stop to that. Frito was too harry and left his hairs all over our comforter. So now he sleeps on Tim’s shoes on his side of the bed. It’s funny, it’s like his own pillow. Have a good weekend, can’t wait to hear about it.
I lovee dogs, but they can be super frustrating when you’re just trying to take some time to yourself. I think it’s really funny when my mom and I are trying to do a yoga dvd at home and our dog can’t help but to run over and “join in,” but when he paces around at night because he can’t sleep I can hear his nails pat against the wood floors and it always wakes me up!
I have a dachshund at my parent’s house and even though he’s a TINY baby, he takes up THE MOST ROOM in the bed. Feet in your back, sleeping on your legs and trapping you, sometimes sleeping on your head.
Have so much fun in Orlando!
Have fun at your orientation! So exciting -a new chapter. 🙂
We have an 8 pound miniature dachshund & a king size bed, and it still isn’t big enough for the three of us! I don’t know how she does it, but our dachshund seems to take up more space than a big dog!
In the living room. I need my sleep or I will be super cranky and get nothing done the next morning.
Wooohooo bachelorette party! Infamous 😉 my dog sleeps in her kennel at night, but I’m sure she’d do the same thing as Sadie if we let her sleep in our beds.
We let our cock-a-poo sleep in bed with us and he does the same thing, starts out curled up ends up taking over by morning. You are not the only suckers around cause we are too.
So funny! Me and my husband share our bed with our tiny Chihuahua, Pepe, and our not so tiny cat, Freya and to be honest, I think the bed would feel strangely empty without them there! Pepe loves to sleep under the covers at my feet, but Freya always manages to commandeer my pillow and I wake up with my head on the mattress!
my dog sleeps wherever i sleep. attached to my body somewhere… including on my pillow attached to my head sometimes 😛
I have two fatty kitties who will sleep at our feet most of the time facing the door like two little sphinxes. Although there have been some nights where I’ll wake up and one of them will have stealthily placed himself into the crook of my arm laying across my belly. And then my heart explodes from the cuteness.
My dog (Yorkie-Poo) used to sleep in a ball at the corner of the bed, but so help me if your toe even remotely got inside her bubble, she sounded like a doberman about to attack!
Our boxer sleeps in bed with us and pretty much does exactly what Sadie does! He also often wants to sleep on top of me (he’s 70 lbs) and last night I woke up with a serious case of numbness in one of my legs. It’s rough saying no to those cute faces though.
Have a great time! Our little Westie sleeps in the kitchen but if I was here on my own (and if she didn’t have so many accidents!) I’d have her in my room!
When we had a dog I never allowed it on the bed. It made it a lot easier all around. If we snuggled it was on the couch or the floor.
Pet owner to pet owner, if this is a new thing for her is it possible that she may have a UTI? Our dog had a few UTIs in her day and they were almost always characterized by a new “bathroom break pattern.” Just throwing it out there!
Oh I can sooooooooooooo relate to this! Thankfully, we have a king size bed, but our 90 lbs Coop still dominates the space!
I couldn’t stop laughing reading this post as I can totally relate!!! My Vizsla does the SAME EXACT THING!!! and I have a King sized bed for just me and him!! 😉 I wouldn’t have it any other way, though. I LOVE curling up with him (at least at the beginning of the night, anyway!)
We have two 60lb. Pit bulls that share our bed, and one sleeps at the foot of the bed while the other curls up between us. Its usually only bad space wise when I get up with the baby- the dogs take my spot and are dead weight to move!
I can’t relate with a dog, but I do have an annoyingly loud bird that chips outside my wondow 10 minutes before my alarm is set to go off!
Oh man, my boyfriend insists on ‘cuddling’ with our 85 lbs boxer/american bulldog each night in bed which equals our dog having an amazing sleep, me having no covers and dog paws in our back!!!! And now he gets up at 5 am for a ‘light pee’ and falls right back asleep while we all are wide awake!
hahaha that used to be us prekids…
I have a cat, Bella and everytime my boyfriend is away for a night I think ‘awww, it would be nice for us both to have some company tonight’ and let her stay in the bedroom. This results in her sleeping in various positions whilst sprawled across my face with me sucking in cat hair until the point in the early hours of the morning where I storm downstairs and throw her outside because I’m too tired to care anymore!
Why do we always forget?! Animals in bed are such a bad, bad idea!!!
Our dog does the same thing-such a bed hog!
Penny does the same thing! She starts the night out on the floor and ends up, like, literally sharing my pillow with me. Good thing she’s so cute, lol
We have 2 vizslas and they both sleep in our bed. My plan is to be the first one in the bed to stake out my area. I feel like that lady in the picture:)
Our pug sleeps in bed with us! Luckily, he is the farthest thing from an “alarm clock dog.” We usually have to drag him out of bed.
Who says you can”t sleep with your dog – despite what our dog trainer told us – never let them get on the bed! It’s more about dog attitude – if they get off when told it’s fine. Just don’t let them take ‘command’ of the bed
We’ve got 2 German Shepherds (100 & 65 lbs respectively) and they make a routine visit to the bed every morning – then you have to get up. There is no room left for either of us – only dogs. Love your dog they are never here for long enough
That Pinterest pic is SO TRUE! Our pitbull starts out sleeping in between us long-wise, then winds up laying on his side and pushing one of us to the side to make room for his legs (much like Sadie, it seems). Such spoiled pooches!
