aryanhwyIf I remember rightly from our last vet appointment (almost a year ago), Slinky weighs about the same amount as Gwen. When I sleep on my right side, Slinky likes to worm her way under the covers and curl up with her feet against my belly, her head against my chest, and my arm around her. For some years, when we'd fall asleep in that position, I'd often notice upon waking that I dreamed I was pregnant.
Once I actually was, and there was no room left for Slinky in that particular spot, I stopped dreaming I was pregnant and instead started dreaming that I was sleeping with Slinky.
Last night, I semi-woke up from a deep sleep as Gwen started fussing, and in that drowsy half-awake/half-asleep state, I thought that she was sleeping on my chest (as she often has), even though I'd put her down in her basket the last time she was up; in fact, it was Slinky on my chest.
I wonder how long it will take before Gwen is big enough that I won't confuse the two when I'm asleep? Because clearly the fur or the lack thereof doesn't do the trick!
