re: #298 Jebediah, RBG

We thought so, too, but apparently the rescue he was at was awash in puppies. Also, Otis can be more than a little bit oblivious, and was probably not rushing up to anybody or being demonstrative at all. We are pretty sure he loves a us a lot and he sure seems happy and content and secure etc but he has yet to smooch either of us. He has come out of his shell a lot, though - when it is practice time he gets all excited and goes goofy-bounding to the stairs, looks back to make sure I am coming, then goes bouncy-bouncy-bouncy up the stairs with his tail wagging. And at bedtime, if I get up (or even just sit up a bit) I am liable to find him sprawled on my pillow. He seems to like to fall asleep with some physical contact - later in the night he will move away a bit or even off the bed.

I mentioned up thread my parents’ late great Ollie. My mom always had an early bedtime since she always got up at the crack of dawn. Ollie would sleep on my dad’s pillow and when he came to bed, Ollie would always softly growl at my dad when he tried to move Ollie off the pillow.
