This is Jessie:
She is a 1-year-old, 53-lb lab mutt with as much grace as a drunken elephant.
This is what Jessie is technically not “allowed” to do:
However, there are many nights when I have been in bed watching TV, only to have my husband, a.k.a The Enforcer, enter the room and say, “What is SHE doing on our bed”? I look at him bewildered because there is in fact a 53-lb dog in our bed.
The first time this happened I chalked it up to too many glasses of wine, however, it continued to happen. I am mindlessly watching TV, and lo and behold, the dog in is the middle of the bed and I have no recollection of how she got there. So, finally, after much deliberation, I have discovered the only reasonable explanation is that she is, in fact, a Dog Ninja. I mean, that would totally explains her black outfit.
Then, because I am slow, I actually realized it was the Tempur-Pedic mattress. So, I thought back to those old Tempur-Pedic commercials with the glass of red wine. You know..this one. While those were fine in their day, I think the new campaign for Tempur-Pedic should be “Dog Ninjas”!
I am convinced this is a phenomenon that is happening all over the world. You buy a Tempur-Pedic mattress and your dog acquires Ninja-like powers to hog your bed.
At a minimum, the mattresses should come with a warning label that this COULD happen.
