Life at Z’s wouldn’t be so much fun, if not for our puppy dogs. Uncle Archie will share his bed with the other little ones, but he’s to get on it first! The two Doxie’s must understand Bassett, however the Chihuahua, Nacha, hasn’t mastered Bassett as her second language.

Uncle Archie isn’t aggressive and chooses to bark and bark and bark for Nacha to get off his bed. There is no getting Nacha off the bed until Z’s interaction in the matter happens. Seems she understands Z language.

Then when Uncle Archie has settled himself upon his LLBEAN pillow-top bed, then and only then can Nacha come aboard.

Rojo likes to sleep on top of Uncle Archie, inside and/or outside. Stud muffin, Earl, has to have his private pillow and sharing with Uncle Archie is out of the question. Cousin Louie has his own perch and only he can jump that high to get on it. He just looks on with a look that says, "WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?"

P.S. When you think you’re the only pebble on the beach, Dang, there comes that Little Rock from Arkansas!
