With a household as large as ours, you can imagine there are few topics on which we are all of one mind.
But there is one thing we have all agreed must happen (well, all of us but Jen, who thinks we’re nuts):
The flannel gown must go!
Ever since Jen was gifted this gown, she’s been sleeping all through the night. If we do manage to wake her up, she goes right back to sleep.
And in the mornings, she now hits the snooze button on the alarm!
What sort of magic is this?
Jen says it’s just comfy and warm, but I’m beginning to wonder.
Something must be done! But what to do?
I think I’ll just grab that gown and……. mmmmm……. cozy! Maybe I’ll just take a nap and think about it.

Everyone one needs to snuggle good thing she shares
Well, not willingly, but she does share.
Oh, Rumpy, send it to me!!! My mom has severe insomnia!
Promise not to tell Jen?
I promise! 🙂
I’m curious (as if I need to ask), is there something of great importance that she needs to get up early for?
Work! Well, that and she has to let us play outside before she goes to work. And feed us. And scoop the litter boxes. Oh yeah, and write my blog!
I quess you are right then. You need to lose the gown.
Rumpy, Jen is quite lucky that something as simple as a robe will allow her to enter the kingdom of that most illusive of gods, Morpheus. Sleep alludes many Americans, myself among them. I know that you’re the most important member of the household, and that your needs come first, but leave poor bedraggled Jen this one simple gift. The rewards of having a well-rested Human will soon become apparent.
I don’t understand. I’ve never had a problem sleeping. Why do so many humans suffer?
Rumpy, there are many blessings granted dogs. One such is the ability to sleep anywhere, anytime. People have stuff like “Restless Leg Syndrome,” cramps, back pain – not to mention lying awake thinking about all the things we need to get done. After all, for you, a trip to the vet may be no fun, but for Jen, it means changing her schedule, cancelling plans and taking time away from work – not to mention scaring up the cash. Plus, she shares your fear and pain during the actual procedure. No, given the givens – I’d take being a dog, any day. 🙂
When ya describe it like that, makes me wonder again why you humans think you’re the more advanced life form.
🙂
Wow! That gown looks very comfortable to sit on!!! We wish that our mom would have the same one! 🙂
I could send you this one!
If Jen could bottle that stuff she would be rich! Yawn.
I was thinking more of a line of flannel nightgowns.
Oh, yes – His and Hers or Unisex? lol 🙂
Yes!!!! Woo woo!
MOL! Maybe you can claim it to be yours, Rumpy!
Good idea!!!!
Personally, I agree with you. I don’t think we humans are more advanced, just more….whatever! I’m glad Jen has that nightgown. Even you can see it is magic. I think I’m going to look for one for me. I hope that nightgown will help Jen to get the rest she needs and to help her ease her heart some. I know you all try your best to help her, but sometimes, as you know, a good snooze is just what you need.
Well, a nice sleep DOES make things seem brighter, or at least makes your hair look mussy!
Rumpy it has your name on the inside 🙂
Ya know, I think you’re right!
MOL! I feel the same way about Meowmie Debby’s Blue Blanket. PurrPurrPurrPurr…

Rumpy, we have flanel in our bed..maybe that’s the reason why I don’t come out of it 🙂 Pawkiss 🙂
BOL! That does look verrrrrry comfy!!!!
((husky hugz))
LOL Flannel on a cold night is soooo comfy that you don’t want to get up. Mom sleeps in flannel pajamas and it’s the same magic.
LOL seems not only Jen is in its spell,,,, Keep snug and warm when you get the chance…. Happy New Year to you ALL… xxx
Must be cozy…it sounds like a keeper! 🙂
mwahahaha! That gown looks like it is a family affair!
Bwahahaha oh Rumpy I have one that acts like a magnet to the cats…I have had to take it off to leave the couch so as not to disturb them all…they are evil/delish 😉 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Fozziemum xxx
BOL – we think they should invent a dog bed made using flannel nightgowns:)
Woos – Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
Hmmmmm….. business venture!!!!
At first I was worried that Chez Rumpy would show their hatred for the flannel nightie the way my foster dog showed my polka dot undies–by chewing a little hole in them.
Glad to see you’re at least being polite. 🙂
Though why Jen needs flannel to keep her warm with so much fur around the house, I couldn’t say.
That thing is magical and mystical and snoozy. It’s perfect! You should each get to use it when it’s your turn. That would be sharing….
Love and licks,
Cupcake
There is something about soft good flannel….both RC and Molly are sneaking up on the new cozy sheets…it’s cold…rainy…sleep….sleeep
Mum says there is nothing quite like a winceyette nightgown!!
Hmmm mummy said she would get to hot in that,xx Speedy
Oh, but she’ll never know until she tries!
Looks like the siren call of the evil flannel gown hooked you, Rumpy! Invite us over and we’ll chew it to death, BOL. Max & Bella
It looks like the flannel gown won you over, Rumpy. Maybe, when Jen isn’t looking, you can catch a nap or two with it. Happy New Year to everyone at your house.
I need a magical nightgown to help me sleep through the night. 🙂
Ooooohhhhh flannel nightgowns are wonderful, they are soft and snuggly and warm. We think you should sleep on it. You would be doing your Mom Jen a big favor; she would not be late to work. MOL Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
