About every 3 months or so, our dog Bouffer (seen to the right), decides that 3:47am is a good time to wake up, start circling our bed, then jump into it. Last night was one such night.
Mind you, he weighs about 110 pounds. And of course, once in the bed, he continues his antics by stretching his legs into my face, and shoving his nose under any part of my body that he can.
About 10 minutes after he falls asleep, he promptly wakes back up, sits up, then stares at me for a few minutes. He then lays back down, starts again with the leg-streching/nose-shoving, and repeats the cycle until it is time to get up.
Like I said, he only does this every few months.
Does anybody have an explanation?

I don't have an explanation for Bouffer, but our dogs have always slept in my parents' bed. So when the 'rents were away on vacation, Belle would sleep in my bed instead. It's one thing for her to do that in a queen size bed where she can find a spot between two people, but mine is a little larger than a twin. Even with her small size, it was hard for her to find a spot where she wasn't impeding my space. And she'd spend 5 minutes building a nest in the bedspread, only to make a new nest 5 minutes later, jiggling her dog tags and in general making noise along the way. And I'm a very light sleeper. Max I could just nudge to make him move, but Belle was more stubborn. It was really annoying in her later years, when she couldn't make the jump onto the bed herself and I had to get up and pick her up, after I was already settled in.
Pfft. That's nothing. I have cats who chew on my earlobes while I sleep and like to lay across my face. You haven't lived until you wake up with cat fur up your nose. Also, they are ninjas, therefore impossible to keep out of my room.
ah, but do they do it only once every 3 months, remaining on the ground and silent during the remaining 89 days (give or take a few)?
