Bella hates my Cpap :-)

Post by elader » Tue Sep 29, 2009 6:59 pm

Just checking in folks!

Oscar my Shitsu snuggles up next to me with/without the cpap, but Bella, my Havanese, runs to the far corner of the bed and refuses to have anything to do with me when I am on the hose. I am wondering which dog is the smart one? Oscar snores so maybe he is feeling some empathy

What cuties!!! My cats have different opinions on my CPAP, just like your dogs. Ben doesn't seem to care one way or the other, but Boris wants to chew the velcro on my hose cover. I also have to be very careful when I take off my mask, because Boris tries to grab and bite it. Neither of my current cats snore, but I lost one a couple years ago who snored and had frequent hiccups.

Maybe when fall and winter come, Bella will decide to be closer for comfort.....unless you live in a winter warm climate.....my kitties are much more cuddle in cooler/cold months than warm.

Your pups are adorable. I just forwarded to a good friend of mine who runs a rescue organization and know she'll love seeing these photos. Thanks.

Bella was a rescue pup. The shelter put her on their adoption webpage, we were second in line and by the end of the day, they had 25 people sign up for her. Little did they know what a she-devil she would turn out to be.

elader,
Bella is just beautiful, she looks just like my 1/2 shitsu & 1/2 maltese I had many years ago, his name was Bruce, he was also white & black, he was 13 years old when he somehow got out the front door one evening, I looked for him for 5 days and put posters up everywhere just to recieve that dreaded call that he had been hit... he was 13 years old and was still going strong, he was the most awesome dog, gosh I miss him! It brought back alot of good memories for me just seeing Bella, thank you for posting the pictures!
Oscar is just adorable to!!!
We now have a pom-chi & she wants nothing to do with my hose either, she lays next to hubby for most of the night, she seems kind of afraid of the air that that leaks a little from the hose, one night she came up to me, smelled my mask & made a b-line to daddy, lol...
Thanks for sharing!

What cute fur children!

<g> My crew don't care about The Hose. They do mind The Mask because that gets in the way of Puppy Kisses. And then, of course, Mr. Shadow tried using the hose as an under-fur air-conditioner.

Bella is so cute she can hate anything she wants and still be loveable! (Oscar's a handsome dude himself.)
