My new red blankie

For Christmas I got a comfy, down filled throw, that has already provided me with many good afternoon naps. Apparently I am not the only owner of this new blanket. Sadie really likes it too. This creates a bit of a problem. She not only likes it, she hogs it.

Up until now, whenever she didn't sleep with me at night, it was because she was sick. The other night I woke up and noticed she wasn't in her usual spot propped up against me so, worried, I went looking for her. I didn't have to look far. I went in the living room and there she was, sleeping on my new blanket! For the past 12 1/2 years, she has been a nearly constant companion next to me at night. Not anymore. I thought it was me she loved. I feel so used.
