Little Filthy Moans, getting Blynched, Instigator Dake, Urban Camouflage, and Spooning.
1. Little Filthy is resting on the couch with me. He has an odd habit. He moans. When he’s really sleepy, he moans and groans. And if you touch him, he moans like it’s the best thing since walks and parks and biscuits. It’s actually a bit disconcerting because it is so loud, people can hear it on the other end of the phone. Which, I imagine, is rather disconcerting for them, as well.
2. The Seattle Gang is comin’ to Chicago. Bev, LynchSeattle, and Avitania. I suspect we will get blynched, which is code for getting drunk. I would like it if they met Boss, Plush, and Besos. However, upon some reflection, I realized perhaps not all at once.
3. Instigator and I have a date Thursday night. It’s a fake-date. A fate, if you will. Wait, no, that isn’t quite right. It’s a Dake. Well, you get my point.
4. You can’t make this stuff up, people.
“APPLETON, Wisc. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A couple in Wisconsin telephoned police in the middle of the night after finding a man in their basement covered head to toe in barbecue sauce.
“He told the officers that it was urban camouflage,” said the homeowner.”
5. QTMama did an entry on spooning. About a week ago, she asked me if I was a sleep-toucher and said that I didn’t seem like one. I don’t think I know any more. But I was surprised that she could get this impression because I didn’t even know it was an impression people gave. I don’t seem like a sleep toucher?
You know who loves to spoon? Little Filthy. The second you are on your side, he jumps on the bed, flops down and pushes his back as close as it can get to your chest and puts his head on your pillow.
And moans.

1.Aww. My Pug did that too, and he was the biggest cuddlebug ever.
2. Actually a drunken free-for all with all of your past and present paramours would be highly entertaining for your guests, I’m sure.
3. No such thing as a fake-date. I’ts either a date or a business meeting. Be sure to discuss job-related stuff to give yourself a safety buffer.
4.Mmm. Barbecue sauce…
5. Spooning leads to Forking
Otis liked spooning too. I wonder if the moaning and spooning are unrecognized breed traits? Naah. More likely that our dogs are just weirdos.

Heh. About a week ago I told you that you DIDN’T seem like a seeker sleeper. And enjoyed you flipping out about that, truly.
I would have guessed that about Little Filthy too. I am all-knowing.
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:20 am
QTMama - I just re-read because I thought maybe I typo’d and said that you said I WAS a seeker sleeper but I think it’s right. Are you reinforcing my SOLITARY HABITS?
Well, it is such an odd thing to know/pick-up about someone! You’ve got that crazy-woman-intuition going on. Er, not that you’re crazy…you know what I mean.
I have some quirks about sleeping close. I’ll have to post about that.

Greta moans too! It’s one of my absolute favorite things. She doesn’t spoon as often as she….well, she’s more like a little black olive sitting in my spoon. She waits until I’m on my side and cozies up right in my most concave spot. And then moans.

1. Heh! One of our big dogs - Tango - does that too. He’s a serious moaner. In the middle of the night he’ll stretch out like a beached whale and moan so loud it’ll wake you up. Same thing - you touch him and he’s like…. OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH YEAAH.
2. Yay! Can’t wait to come visit and see the Chicago-clan. So much to do. So little time
4. I do this all the time. Thought I was the only one.
5. I could totally be a spooner. Bev on the other hand doesn’t like anyone to touch her while she sleeps and makes her little mewing sounds
Mew mew mew mew…. mew…
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:56 am
1. I think Simon does that too. It’s so funny… although not quite as loudly.
2. Waiting for my ticket…
3. That sounds like fun… a fake date with the work girlfriend…
4. Ummm….
5. I am a toucher. Well, I do and then I don’t and then I do again. I roll around. You are quite the solitary so I see this not being something you would do. Unofficial’s cat is the BIGGEST spooner EVER. She literally gets on the bed in between us and HAS to be spooned by him or she’ll meow for hours. And then she likes to lick your eye lids…. yeah….
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:14 am
No, you’re right. Oh except … I didn’t ask … I just SAID. *laugh*
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:45 am
1. As Chris said, Tango is a moaner. Bailey occasionally groans when she’s lying down but it’s not overly loud.
2. Of course we’re going to get blynched - probably more than once. Be afraid… be very afraid
3. Heh, we have our own code similar to this. Instead of “fake” we say “faux” and then combine the words - faux date would indeed be a “fate.”
4. No words except WTF?
5. God invented King size beds so you don’t have to touch anyone while you sleep! I’m fairly affectionate on the whole but do NOT come over to my side of the bed to cuddle! Poor Chris ends up with a tiny little edge of the bed while I hog the whole thing, and then I’m like - don’t touch me!

Both my dogs like to spoon. Sort of. Their version of spooning involves scrunching up as close as they can to either side of my body. Since I sleep on my side in a sort of S-shape, it usually involves Ripley finding her way into the curve between my stomach and arms; Sid will tuck himself in a little ball (which, given his size, is not so small of a ball) against the back of my knees. Often, this happens while they are on top of the sheets, thus trapping me under the sheets tightly in a cocoon. It’s not pleasant. Which explains why when I sleep in hotels without the dogs, I sleep like the dead.
The nation’s wine reserves will be depleted suddenly between August 5 and 10. I can see it now.

Soooooo, what “are” your quirks about sleeping close?
July 23rd, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Sleep toucher, seeker-sleeper… blah blah… What’s all the fuss about. I’m all about passion and touching, but when I’m tired, I need my SPACE okay? ha ha

i was away last weekend, relaxing on an unnamed pier, when this little dog that resembled your avatar came ambling by. i said to myself “oh look, it’s little filthy!”
apparently the dog has gotten under my skin
i think i have a crush on little filthy. he sounds so CUTE!
(i can’t believe i’m liking a dog. see? i told you i didn’t really HATE dogs

Bird Clan Diva - Yup, maybe it’s a pug thing, that snuggling. “Past and present paramours” made me laugh.
It must be a business meeting and I’m pretty sure we’ll be discussing business so we’re safe.
#5 made me laugh.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:05 am
QTMama - Ohhhhh yeah, you did just sort of offer that bit of wisdom up. heh. You know all!
July 24th, 2008 at 7:06 am
Heather - Really?? It must be more common than I thought. I’ve never had a dog that moaned before so I thought it was a Little Filthy thing. The “she’s more like a little black olive sitting in my spoon” cracked me up.
That, and the moaning.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:09 am
LynchSeattle - I read this on my phone (your comment, I mean) and couldn’t remember what #4 was that you were saying you do all the time. I went to my computer and laughed.
That mewing thing cracks me up. For real? She MEWS?
July 24th, 2008 at 7:13 am
SnarkyRunner - you said, “You are quite solitary” - really? Do I seem solitary?
The thought of a cat’s tongue on my eyelids makes me cringe.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:15 am
Bev -
1. Kala doesn’t moan?
2. Holy crap. I have a feeling you guys are going to school me in the fine art of getting blynched.
5. Okay, seriously, I need to hear more about the mewing thing. You make little noises all night?
July 24th, 2008 at 7:17 am
Avitania - Little Filthy does/did what Sid does - but only to Boss if she’s on the couch.
Are you a wine drinker or something else?
July 24th, 2008 at 7:18 am
Besos - I tempted to say something funny to you but…I’ll refrain.
I will write an entry on this.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Ms Cheevious - Hi there! Do you have a king size bed?
July 25th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
RE - When I said “you are quite solitary” I meant that while you tend to have a bunch of people in your life and you do social things - you also like to have your space and time and I can see you liking a bed alone or without much touchy touchy (unless it ends up in nooky nooky).
As for the cat’s tongue on eyelid thing - it’s definitely just as bad as it sounds.
July 27th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
1. Lulu groans, moans, snores like a trucker, and purrs like a cat in her sleep. She can’t sleep on the same floor as I do, much less the same room because it’s like Noah’s friggin’ ark - way too many animal noises for me to sleep.
2. Still… so… jealous. I can’t wait to hear about all your adventures and I want video of Bev on the sauce. I will pay cash money for this…
3. I need to find a cute gay man to have fake dates with - that way the Mister isn’t jealous.
4. My very first thought when I read the title was that is was a kinky sex-game gone wrong. Should I seek professional help now?
5. I am so not a toucher. I don’t like snuggling in any form and think (for the most part) fore play is even a bit of a drag. If I need some lovin’ I want it quick and dirty… and then get the hell out of my personal space again please. I know… I’m a freak. Thank god for king size beds.
July 27th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
1. Dude, but Lulu is cute.
2. I love referring to alcohol as “the sauce.” Cracks me up every time.
3. Dude. Fine a straight man to have fake dates with.
4. It does sort of read like the progression of a date, huh?
5. Whoa! Tiffany, you kill me.
“Fore play is even a bit of a drag.” You crack me up.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Ya, she’s cute… which is why I let her sleep on me when we watch TV and I just turn the volume up to deafening levels. I’m sure my neighbors think I’ve gone deaf.
I can’t be the ONLY woman who thinks long drawn out bouts of foreplay are over rated? Am I??
