OT: Bed Attire

[SadieKate]

the standard (who manages to stretch himself out to the largest size possible)

And only on the perpendicular, of course, and please don't move the pillows that you insist on calling feet.

K..We have a few small stuffed animals but have never put them on the bed-they're on the computer & book cases-

We have-Mikey the Canadian Moose, Penny the Polar bear, Pete the Pukeko, Kip the Kiwi, two wererabbits of wallace & gromit fame(we're known as thunderbunnies), walter the wombat ,bob the buzzy bee, and a penguin looking for a name..



And you thought i was this mean Canadian biker chick that likes to run over kiddies......

Can't wait to buy a house & get an animal that can sleep at the end of our bed..Don't think they'd like me though as move around alot in my sleep......

wow never knew there were so many people that sleep with their pets.

i tried sleeping with my two dogs while BF was away. didn't go so well. the big one that's my size took up a good deal of the bed, and the other one took up WAY to much bed. i had them on the top of the sheets so they tucked me in. though they tucked me in a bit to much. they lasted on the bed for about an hour before i kicked them off.

i like sharing the bed with either BF or my big body pillow when he's not there and the longer clean sheet day lasts the happier i am. i love clean sheet day.

My 4 penguins are: Penguin, Lego, Milton, and Sigmund.

Yes, I have 4 penguins on my bed. Lego goes with us on vacation because he's cylindrical and therefore gets used as lumbar support if the driver needs it.

Bed attire... fortunately I read the entire attire thread because I was gonna just punch reply as say:

"What attire? This dog sleeps nekkid..." So now ya know.

But I read... and laughed as the expected drift piled up. So, anyway, back to the question posed:

Assuming I remember to 'make' my bed, it gets 3 decorative chenille pillows (2 royal purple, 1 deep crimson), 1 red teddy bear and one purple Tinky Winky doll.

....and all this time I thought I had a lot of "stuff"! Considering the images in my head at this moment, our bedroom is very sleek and tidy!

Our bed has no extra pillows nor any other ornamentation. I would hate having to tidy it all up everytime one of the two huge border collies (much larger than average) or the two cats decided to move them about! Of course, the four of them are, at least during the cool nights of winter, ornament of their own. And, yes, it is truly amazing how much room one average sized cat can take!

We need a king sized bed.

This thread makes me feel a bit better about our stuffed toys. We have Eeyore, 'blind ted', possum, and Gorilla on (and usually in) bed. Eeyore and gorilla are mine, possum and Ted are BFs. Blind Ted is 50 ish and showing his age (I haven't quite figured out why Ted is a few years older than BF - he is more BFs brothers age but if that was the explanation I'm not sure why we have him)

I have a not so normal sized cat - my Big Kitty is 20 pounds and almost 20 years old! He definitely takes up more room than I do in the bed and of course scoots me out of they way if I get too hoggish! Between the cat and my husband, I'm just a little speck on the bed

No Tux?

No Tux?

You mean Tux the Linux penguin? I have one of those by my computer at home and a little clay penguin at work that my son made me. And yes, I use Linux. My bed holds nothing but a sheet, a blanket which has been on the floor most of this summer, 2 pillows, and occasionally a body or two. My only conflict is if I get cold in the night and want the blanket and the dog is sleeping on it on the floor.

[Kitsune06]

*exactly* that Tux! (OT for a sec) Knoppix? Red Hat?

Red Hat Fedora Core 5. Just upgraded from RH9. Geek interlude over.

No Tux?

I only got to name Sigmund - the rest were named by my husband. I got the name from the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter book series. Anita has a collection of stuffed penguins, and her favorite one is named Sigmund. I just thought that was so cool.

I sooooo need a post a picture of my bed.

[jeannierides]

Thanks for the laugh! Thread drift, indeed! I have to admit to reading the question when it was first posed and thought - Well, since I hardly ever make my bed... Then... the drift! I could respond to THAT! But I won't. I'll just giggle... and wonder - yet again - what in the world will happen to my *toys* if something were to happen to ME! Of course, I wouldn't be around to care, but my dear sweet daughter may have a coronary!

Back to the original question, however... I always love the look of the beautifully made beds in the magazines. Have even gone so far as to buy all that stuff - pillows and all. Had a heck of a time keeping the silk duvet cover from slipping onto the floor, and no place to put the clothes that need to be folded!

We produced culturally deprived children when it came to bed attire. Never had bedspreads or anything nonfunctional on the beds. When my daughter was 4 we stayed in a motel and there was a bedspread. She asked what it was and we said that it was a decoration. She was most concerned that we not sleep on the decoration.
