“I woke from a sound sleep up with a start, turned on my nightstand light, and…”
It was late, hours past midnight. I woke from a sound sleep up with a start, turned on my nightstand light, and couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t catch my breath. His weight on my chest prevented inhalation. I tried pushing him off but he was strong, so very strong. I tried not to panic when his tongue swiped up my neck to my face and he started nibbling on my lip.
“Get off,” I huffed out. This seemed to inspire not deter him. Again another saliva filled lick and nip at my face, his drool ran down my reddening cheeks.
He moved slightly, I took a big breath and heaved. He rolled slightly to the side. I took the opening and ticked his stomach to keep his attention off of me. It worked! The big beast was insanely ticklish.
After a moment he rolled over, lifting his head, a gigantic grin on his face.
“You big lug, I was trying to sleep,” I admonished my two-hundred twenty-five pound English Mastiff, Thor. We curled up, spooning like an old married couple, and slept.

When our cat was alive, all 11 pounds of him would cuddle up between me and my wife. Now we have a 70 pound dog and our bed is off limits to her.

Thank you Willow! This one is a work of part fiction. My pup is a 125 lb Wolfdog and the other a 30 lb Pomsky. LOL They do sleep with me but I took artistic license in embellishing the story to match the prompt. 😇

Thank you Di. Thor is a fiction pup but my Tala and Koda both sleep with me. 😊

Maggie always did, especially in the caravan and on the boat as there was really nowhere else for her. It was never a problem, and when we moved here, Hubby ended up sleeping in the spare room rather than disturb me because he had so many issues going on. Maya is simply too big to share, but she’s found her own spot in the hall and quite content to sleep there.
