Gilbert the Good - time to go to bed
Here I am on the day I arrived.
I was ever so pleased to see a big dog in my new home. It was so nice to cuddle up with Roxy.
Now I’m bigger than her and she’s gone back to looking like a little dog again –
well, as little as a Labrador can look. My humans say she’s not as small as
Jenna-with-the-big-paws.
Once I’ve persuaded the humans to lock up and turn off the lights, we all go to bed and then we can relax until the morning. I think if I didn’t remind them about bedtime they would stay up all night and that wouldn’t be good for any of us. It’s all very well napping during the day, like the cats do and us dogs (and sometimes the humans) but it’s important to have a proper sleep.
The humans say it’s to recharge our batteries, but I haven’t got any of those, so I don’t know what they mean, really.
TTFN

Gilbert is such a sweet boy bringing the slipper. He is bigger than Roxy now??
ReplyDeleteHe is taller, longer and will soon be broader than Roxy. It's hard to remember him as tiny!
DeleteWhat a wonderful lad you are, Gilbert. How would your humans manage without your help? xx
ReplyDeleteWell, we'd probably stay up all night ;-) xx
DeleteGosh Gilbert, you have humans that stay up too late? That is unheard of in the Gail and Nobby household. We are both aligned in being larks not owls.
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!
Nobby.
PS The photo of you carrying the slipper is beyond adorable.
Gilbert frequently goes to bed before us, along with Herschel. Jellicoe and Roxy keep the humans company.
DeleteHope you remember to switch off the laptop
ReplyDeletebefore going to bed Gilbert...HeHe! Save energy!
Well...You'll save enough of that overnight...! Bless!x

Like all young animals, Gilbert sleeps suddenly and soundly.
DeleteAnd then Gilbert, when you are having your best daytime nap, the humans will wake you to go for a walk. This is mostly ok by you but there must be times when you wish they wouldn't disturb you.
ReplyDeleteAlways ready for action, though I'm not sure about the middle of the night.
DeleteClever Gilbert, my cat stays on my lap until the very last moment, so no help there.
ReplyDeleteBess knows where she's best off;-) x x x
ReplyDeleteSorry, not Bess . . .
DeleteIt's difficult to get breakfast on time if you do not get to bed on time. I can see where your persistence will pay off on the mornings Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteGilbert's ready to eat at any hour of the day or night!
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteHe is!
DeleteMr T knew that bedtime was 10pm and would arise from lap or fireside at about 3 minutes to, and sit in the doorway staring at the bottom of the stairs. We envied the expensive wristwatch he owned. You do pleading eyes so very well Gilbert. Good thing fur friends have such good internal clocks to keep humsns properly charged up.
ReplyDeleteThey do so much for us, and most of it unrecognised.
DeleteOh Gilbert, you are too funny, and what a cute puppy you were! xxx
ReplyDeleteHe's still cute, but much, much bigger! x x x
DeleteI am not surprised that Janice makes noises when you sit on her lap ! I have not that problem Rosie is like a feather.
ReplyDeleteCats are much easier, even if they do have pins in their paws:-)
ReplyDeleteGilbert is a keeper for sure! Loved the photos.
