The Nest

Drinking from a cup now?

My precious "first born" puppy Zelda is certainly a princess.  She usually gets whatever she wants.  She even tries to create a threesome when my husband and I are making out by squeezing her little face in between ours and trying to add her own kisses.  So she doesn't get whatever she wants since we definitely don't allow the threesomes!  We got her at 5 weeks, a bit too early, and we swear she really thinks Chris and I are her birth mom and dad, not just the two humans who adopted her. 

Anyway, in the middle of the night last night I heard some water slopping around, so I looked up and in the dark I saw Zelda chugging water from Chris's cup that he keeps by the bed every night!  Not only is she such a princess that she sleeps horizontally across our bed, and we allow her the space, meaning my husband and I are crunched into a two foot area on one side of the bed, but now she's too lazy to get up from the bed and go to her water bowl!  She must figure, well, water right here by the bed or water all the way in the other room?  Hmm... Water by the bed!
