Sharing A Bed


I was going to start by saying I miss sharing my bed.
I miss sharing my bed with another man
The alternative to many is a very attractive one.
Cool, crisp white linen sheets
A warm duvet
Pillows soft and easily moulded
Silence
The double bed all to yourself
The ability to do " snow angels " uninterrupted on the bottom sheet
Long, undisturbed slumber
Bliss

Without a naked man in my bed do I tick all of those wonderful singleton boxes?
Do I fucking hell as like?!

Yesterday I got into bed at 10.30 am  The sheets were fresh, the duvet wrinkle free and the pillows plumped
Then like the children out of The Sound Of Music did to Maria when the thunderstorm started , the dogs start to appear.
Dotty and Mary are always first
Each battling for the armpit position.
Mary tends to win because I allow her first dibs
With a mini flounce that would but Vivian Leigh to shame, Dorothy collapses next to her.
She snores loudly in protest of not being closest .
Then Winnie appears and we have the "wandering around on the wooden floor ten minutes" torture until she is ready to haul her great carcass onto the bed.
One on the bed she immediately collapses with a loud fart, snort, or groan
She too then stats to snore.
Albert is always last.
He chooses last as there is less chance of his receiving a rather unwelcomed and rather shocking arse lick.....
He curls up anywhere he can fit.
There isn't any space for bleeding Tatoo from Fantasy Island to squeeze a buttock next to mine, let alone the prospect of any hairy arsed potential boyfriend to manage to creep under my duvet with lascivious intent!
Perhaps Im destined to be single

  3. When Hairy Assed Boyfriend appears in your life, the fur children must relearn sleeping in their own beds by the fire downstairs.

    Do you put a note on your door, Do Not Disturb? I can see having to sleep days could be an endless upset of mail man, doorbells, phones ringing, and nosy people peeping in yelling, "yoohoo, John?" Exhausting.

  4. I cannot see what you are complaining about, and there's a lot to be said about not having to sleep in a damp patch that becomes crusty overnight. Count your blessings that you have a bed, have creatures that love you unconditionally and that you are free to have all the hairy arsed men that you are able to lure for sex without strings.

  6. I love the bed to myself so much so that the Betty Noodle is forced to sleep in a basket in my bedroom.

  7. We had to share our bed during storms; the dogs would seek refuge with us. Freddie, our cat, would tuck himself under my chin on most nights, which made sleeping difficult.

    1. Albert only joins in when I'm sleeping on day shift

    Until he disappeared 15 months ago, tabby cat Tom would join us any time the weather outside was cold and his chosen spot was between us. His mother, Boots, continued to choose the kitty cup that was next to a heater downstairs.

    Hairy posterior aside, you are certainly not alone.

    Hugs!

  9. I never had had an animal sleep with me or even live in the house--allergies. I, too, miss having a hairy man or any man share my bed. It is nice to have the bed to myself. But, the older I get, the more men seem to snore. So, separate bedrooms would be necessary. While I am displaced from my home, my friend who always sleeps in his recliner, sleeps at the opposite end of the house. I am disturbed by his loud snoring at that distance. Still, a warm man would be nice.

    I am such a lucky person to have a partner and sleeping alone but don't be jealous. It comes at some cost. I had to Guggle snow angels. It wasn't what I imagined.

  11. I like sleeping with another man but I also enjoy sleeping on my own. Yeah, I really enjoy spooning but when I am on my own, I simply snuggle against a pillow and slip away.
    There IS something about sleeping with a man, though, that I miss and that really no pet (or pillow) can replace.

    XOXO

    1. The hairy arse is UNDER the duvet not on top of it, that is the difference

  12. It's so long since I had a man in my bed (and if I told you you'd say I was kidding!) that I've forgotten what it's like, and I'm just grateful for the two regular, sometimes three, furry beings whom I share it with every night - and unlike your little lot, at least they don't snore (usually), though they do give me a hissy snarl as a warning if my turning over disturbs their own slumbers.

  13. I imagine Albert is last on purpose. Cats are like liquid and can fit into any gap. This is better than being landed on by a bulky dog.

  14. I sleep naked next to y naked husband but a cavern yawns between us the size of the Grand Canyon. It is occupied by a small, needy Jack Russell.

    1. But the naked man is still within arm's reach

    2. Yes he is but since his st the is unable to give or receive affection, he still enjoys an occasional BJ but anything else makes him dizzy.

  15. After my husband left I shared the bed with the hound but I ended up losing too much sleep and now he's on his bed and the bratty little one is crated, best thing I ever did.

    I hope you find a bloke to share with. I think you will

  16. My cat waits until I turn the lights off and comes to the head of the bed, scratches at the quilt until I lift it. Then she spends 15 minutes meowing and trying to find a spot to settle in between the quilt and the duvet. Snores for 2 minutes then walks over my legs, jumps down to eat some biscuits before going to bed in her own cat bed.

    Every damn night.

  17. Have you ever thought of shutting your bedroom door to all but humans? No - knowing you I suppose the thought has never entered your head.

  18. All of those warm hairy behinds to keep you warm and protected at night, stay warm.

  19. I miss cuddling before sleep comes so I have an extra pillow that I wrap my arms around. Sometimes I have a cat wrapped around my head!

  20. You are destined to be loved and you ARE loved. And you’re great husband material. If I were single I’d be first in line.

  21. I have similar issues but my bed is full of small children. The fights over space, farting and snores are much the same.

  22. Does the term "single" actually apply when you have a bed full of dogs? You have plenty of company, though of course human company might be preferable.

    I'm sure a hairy-arsed boyfriend will come your way before long....

  23. I guess you were dog-tired.

  24. A three dog night? Or day I guess. And a cat.

    Hope you had a good sleep.

  25. Well you might be single but you're definitely not lacking for company. :)

    1. Maybe - like me - she likes farting under the duvet as much as I do. Just a guess, but I cannot think of anything more conducive to insomnia (for all the wrong reasons) than sharing a bed with a hairy man - or woman for that matter. I don't know how you homos put up with it. I don't even like being in bed with myself.

    2. A hairy arsed bloke..... much nicer than a curvy lady!!

    3. I miss waking in the middle of the night and having a hairy forearm sway across your chest

  27. I remember the time when I would sometimes go to bed first and would be wakened by my husband trying to quietly persuade the dog to get off the bed,the dog always took my husbands space on the bed.
    There is no such thing as a human "quietly " persuading a big dog off of the bed.
    Been there,done that,miss it SO much.

    3. My condolences go out to you and your daughter.
      My husband died suddenly and we had just moved into a new house.
      One of the first things I did after a month or so of sleeping alone...was to adopt a little abandoned kitten.
      A few months later,an old beautiful cat came to live with me..rather...came to live with us.
      I just needed another living thing in that house with me.. I talk to them,sometimes they talk to me..but the pain of loss is a tiny bit
      less...

  34. I don't know, I actually enjoy having a large bed to myself, although I did enjoy throwing my arms around my (former) companion's hairy chest. Ex-husband was totally hairless and skinny and I just loved the rug on my companion's hairy chest and a bit of a tum. No pets though (as yet)!
