A while back Adam's good friend came to visit and Oly spent the entire time following him around and making sure that her nose made contact with his body with each new movement he made. And I'm not talking like once or twice she'd walk over and check in with our guest. I'm talking full on constant molestation if he dared move from couch to kitchen. Oly was under the impression that there was a game going on called, 'Touch the Visitor', except our poor visitor was never asked if he'd like to play this wonderful and magical game.
What can I say? We don't play fair at this house.
Later on in the weekend, after much nose molesting, and a few desperate cries of, "OMG DOG GIVE IT A REST!" I happened to glance over and catch Oly peacefully asleep on our guest's lap. Adam's friend turned to me ever so slowly and gave me this look of, "NOW I get it. You put up with all the crap because of times like this..."
And he's right. I think of sleeping Oly, tired Oly, and exhausted Oly as a foreshadowing into life with Oly The Adult Dog. Those peaceful times where she's cuddling next to you completely exhausted, perfect for snuggling and loving make all those previous moments where her head is spinning around her body Exorcist style just a tad more bearable.

I love my dog the most after he's snuggled into the side of my leg and fast asleep. It makes me forget about what he's chewed or gotten into earlier in the day.
