Let's spend the night together

I didn't sleep well last night. I was awake, it seemed, every hour. I was sure I was sick or something.

What made it bearable was that Claren slept most of the night with me.

I told Mom this morning that I didn't sleep, and she said that maybe it was because you had a big dog in your bed.

If it was, it was worth it.

Claren seemed dubious when I told her to get in the twin bed first and then got in and scootched her over. Actually, the hardest part was pulling up the covers because she was lying on them.

It really felt nice to have her there next to me, even if she did jump off at 4 a.m. and use my crotch as a takeoff point.
