Roxy and a good night’s sleep
01/09/2009 by admin.
The continuing tale of Roxy, the Lakeland Terrier
It was an early night for all last night after fleeing the deluge in the Lakes. Ten minutes after we went to bed, an irritating bark started up. Roxy had been skittish since we got home so I went downstairs to settle her down. She was fast asleep, curled up in her basket in the kitchen so I went back to bed. Five minutes later, it began again so this time, Irene went down, again to find the culprit fast asleep.
When it happened a third time, I went down, woke her up and brushed her to calm her nerves. But five minutes later, it began again.
From the kitchen, now the fourth time, I shouted upstairs that she was playing a game and pretending to be asleep as soon as we went down. “Hang on,” said Irene, checking another bedroom to find Boris (pictured, coated against foul weather on the Ribblehead Viaduct) locked in and protesting every five minutes.
Boris was returned to his usual sleeping spot on the bed and poor old Roxy was finally left alone to sleep!
