Best Friends make the Best Pillows

Although he’s known as a couch hog, Eko has graciously made room for Penny on the futon. At first, Penny kept her head opposite of Eko’s but she quickly realized she was wasting a valuable and comfy resource Since the first time Penny napped on Eko’s

At first, Penny kept her head opposite of Eko’s but she quickly realized she was wasting a valuable and comfy resource

Her ability to find the most comfortable rump pillow position has only improved Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, funny, sleepy, dogs, adventure, marking our territory

I never thought he would, but Eko lets Penny cozy right up. It’s a big bonus for me because Penny sleeps longer when she’s comfy and content.

As you can see, she is quite comfy and quite content!

With her butt-pillow experiment having gone so well, Penny is further testing the waters to see just how comfy she can get.

And yesterday Penny tried using Eko for both a pillow and a blanket. You have to admire the gumption

After year’s of using me as a pillow, it’s nice to see Eko pay it forward to his little sister. And as Penny grows in confidence, it seems she’s inching closer to sleeping on top of Eko entirely. Which could prove interesting as Penny also grows in size! 

Comments for Best Friends make the Best Pillows

  1. That’s one thing I noticed about Penny right away, her “gumption.” She is full of spunk and is super, super brave! I am Jewish and we call it “Chutzpah” which also means “nerve” lol. I LOVE how Eko has taken on the role of teacher and big brother……you are blessed…but….they couldn’t have a better pet parent to teach them the ways of the world. You totally rock and I bet that Emily does too!

  2. How cute!!

    I feel like Instagram would be great for you guys, too.

    Too cute! I love seeing how Penny is slowly creeping upwards. I can’t wait to see her draped across Eko’s whole body.
    Butthead likes to be touching Le Moo in our house (paws, shoulders, butts), but Le Moo prefers otherwise and will often just get up and leave shortly after Butthead lays down. Also, being that Butthead is 85lbs, I don’t think Le Moo wants her as a blanket (even though SHE is 92lbs herself). 🙂

    Eko is such a sweetheart that he’s actually squishing himself on the futon to make room for little sis! These pics are so precious, I love how dogs cuddle together. Umm, I think you might need a bigger futon soon, Will…. 😉

  5. Hey there! I’ve been out of touch lately! Belated congrats to Eko on his new Baby Sister!

    Be careful Eko, you give a pup a couch cushion and they will take over your entire house…trust me, I know. She sure looks quite happy sleeping on you. It looks like you are about out of space but Penny is nicely stretched out. That happens to me in the car all the time. Darn little sisters.

    Awww, sweet Eko you are just the best big brother ever!! Those pictures are adorable. Hugs and nose kisses

    We have followed your blog for quite some time and just love it. Many of the pics remind us of our ridgeback we lost recently and this has been very comforting!

  11. I love seeing them all smooshed together!

  12. OMGoodness, E. You are the best big brother ever. I have to wonder, though, are you teaching Penny how to behave? Or is she teaching you??

    Love and licks,
    Cupcake

  13. We are both BIG fans of the “sibling rump pillow”. I (Sammy) personally get the most enjoyment out of it because Wally’s rump…well…let’s just say he has some extra padding *BOL*

    Couldn’t be more angelic as when they’re snoozing together. When Penny grows up, it’ll be a massive tangle of legs.
