I have a queen-size bed and the poncho liner is big enough to extend across the whole width of the bed. And even though I sleep alone, I sleep on one side. So I anchor the poncho liner with two pillows at the foot of the bed on the other side from where I sleep. It would probably work better with anvils… but the pillows do a pretty good job of holding it in place. Sometimes there’s a cat sleeping on top of me and that helps, too. I don’t sleep alone, so I can’t try that method. 🙂 What we have tried, though, is putting another blanket on top of it to weigh it down. That way when it slides off the bed, it takes the other blanket with it… ---

This picture was taken when she was 19, a few days before she made her final trip to the vet. ---

My wife is a vegetarian, so we don’t regularly have meat, but I made a pork roast for Christmas and Buffy got a few scraps. She was very hopeful for more scraps and still is.

I did the same with a ham, but made Luna part of the occasion. She had her fair share, that’s for sure! What the hell, it’s Christmas. ---

> [@naita](#): > > My wife is a vegetarian, so we don’t regularly have meat, but I made a pork roast for Christmas and Buffy got a few scraps. She was very hopeful for more scraps and still is. “Scraps?” I used to grill entire steaks, or boneless chicken breasts, or make stews, specifically for my Bernie! Give Buffy as much as she wants! She definitely looks like she deserves it. She is obviously a Good Dog, and a beautiful one, too. A Bad Dog would have chewed up all those Christmas presents. Very nice, Christmasy background, BTW. Very festive, and very patriotic with all those Norwegian flags! 🙂 > [@JohnT](#): > > I did the same with a ham, but made Luna part of the occasion. She had her fair share, that’s for sure!

I’ll never be that kind of person, and although not quite as ecstatic about it, Buffy also thinks a can of green beans, broccoli stem or leaf of cabbage is a treat. Occasionally there will be beef drippings on the green beans. She an old lady who’s grown out of chewing up non-food, mostly, but she crunched up an ornament last year for unknown reasons. Probably because she strongly disapproves of Christmas trees in general. ---
