Being home all night without Josh is especially difficult. Though I was the one to get up with Jasper if he woke up, it was still nice to know someone else was there to help. A few weeks ago I was feeling lonely as I went to bed so I thought I would let Bebo sleep in bed with me. (Normally he sleeps in his kennel in my room.) Sometime around 3am Jasper woke up and headed to my room. As his door creaked open Bebo barked. By the time Jasper got to the loud creaking hallway, Bebo was losing his head. (For whatever reason he doesn’t bark when he’s in his kennel.) Jasper screamed for me because Bebo had just scared the crap out of him. He came running in, crying for me and his little heart was racing.
I laid him next to me and calmed him down but Jasper was wide awake. After a little bit I put him back in his bed but he just came back to my room. I did something I never do, I let him lay in bed with me. Finally around 5am he fell asleep and by then I was too tired to move him. Josh came home from work to Jasper and I knocked out. I could never do the co-sleeping thing but this picture warms my heart.
