Even when you want to push and shove them to wake them up just because it's not fair that after keeping you up all night puking and gagging and having weird breathing episodes due to some SERIOUS allergic reaction they have going on, suddenly when you have to get up and get some work done they are able to sleep quietly.
I am trying to be a big person right now but it's very hard. I literally slept for no more than 15 minutes at a go last night, because whatever the dog is allergic to affected her throat and the only way she could breathe well and/or quietly was if her neck is extended fully and level with her head and shoulders (i.e., no hanging head, no resting it on the edge of the bed) It had to be EXACTLY in line or these wretched gaggy/snoring noises come out of her. Naturally this is not a position she intuitively sleeps in. Nor, as it turns out is it one she is particularly willing to sleep in, so we basically wrestled all night long while I tried to explain to her who does not understand english or common sense that I was doing this for her own good. Interspersed of course with wrestling Benadryl down her throat.
And now she seems to be on board with the plan and has curled up in her bed to sleep off the latest dose and is suddenly instinctively sleeping perfectly still and flat.
bitch.

Benadryl is a dogs sweet liquid napping paradise. If only they knew that.
