Frankie had a really rough night of interrupted sleep and is looking for a bit of sympathy from our readers. Here’s his tale.
Such a rough night.
Frankie is the only member of The Herd who sleeps in the human bed. Unfortunately, that led to a rough night for him Thursday (or, more accurately, early Friday morning).
Sympathy. I want sympathy for my interrupted sleep.
During the night, he had stretched across the foot of the bed and was sleeping with his head on Hu-Dad’s foot. Hu-Dad rolled over and pulled his foot out from underneath Frankie’s head. Since Hu-Dad is tall, his foot was extending beyond the end of the bed which meant Frankie’s head was now over air, not the bed. In his best Wile E. Coyote imitation, Frankie fell out of bed to the floor of the RV with a kerplunk, waking up every other occupant of the RV. Sort of hard to recover from such a moment with any dignity.
See, readers, I need sympathy, not the laughter I heard from my brothers and sisters.
P.S. – This is the first time Frankie has ever fallen out of the bed, but Rusty the Rooster was good for it about once a month. The difference was Rusty just shook, jumped back on the bed, and went to sleep.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
Speaking of sibes in their recreational vehicle, have they changed configuration of who is in upper and who in lower cages while traveling?
The crates have been re-arranged to a block of four. Typhoon and Landon have the top (younger and more able to get into the crates themselves) and Frankie and Cheoah the bottom.
How dare Hu-dad move his foot…can’t believe his comfort is more important than yours! The inhumane thought of it all!! Instead of laughing the rest of the Herd should have been waiting to catch you! I say you call your attorneys…Barkin, Paws and Boneez. Good luck you suave dog!…
I love this story ❤️Not only does it remind me of my curly tail but you mentioned one of my favorite herd members, Rusty. He’s in Heaven laughing at you too Frankie. Sorry ????
Aww – poor Frankie, you look so sad that Hu-Dad allowed you to fall out of bed and that your brothers and sister did not back you up and had the nerve to laugh at you. Hope you were able to catch up on your sleep. Stay safe.
Aww…poor Frankie! Hu Dad…You must do better!
Poor baby! Did hu-dad let you sleep in?
Believe it or not, no. I had to get up for breakfast before my after-breakfast nap.
Frankie
Awwwwwww poor Frankie!!! I hope you are able to recover from this traumatic event, sweetheart.
no words! LOL! xoxo
We’re sorry to hear that you fell out of your cozy bed Frankie- That is an awful way to wake up ;0
We suggest moving up into the middle of the bed…that way you have the humans to
provide a safe edge!!
PS -the Bros+Sis… JEALOUS!!
Ohhh you poor baby. First how rude of hu-dad to move. Did he forget his whole purpose is to be a pillow? And second triple rude for the other 3 to laugh at what was clearly hu-dads fault. They should be backing you up to making hu-Dad give up more bed space for you, or you and the other 3 too. Haha.
I hope Friday night-Saturday morning was much better in the sleep category.
AAWW Frankie-I am NOT laughing. It must have been so hard to wake up and BOOM-you’re on the floor of the RV.I’m sure by now you have caught up on your sleep!!!
