When did my dog become the bed's landlord?

Started with "just this once" when my rescue pup was scared during a thunderstorm. Fast forward six months, and I'm the one asking permission to use MY bed. This 15-pound terror has somehow claimed the center spot, sprawled like a starfish while I'm clinging to a sliver of mattress. The audacity! She's got her own $200 orthopedic bed sitting unused in the corner, but apparently my $50 Target sheets are premium real estate. Worst part? When I try to reclaim space, she gives me this look like I'M the intruder. The manipulative little genius even fake-sleeps when I approach, then magically expands to fill any space I vacate. Anyone else paying rent to live in their pet's house? Because I'm pretty sure I just became the roommate in this situation. #Pets #Cats #petlife
