for some reason I thought she always kicked.


In fact, she usually curls up next to me and rests her head on my stomach
or side or back. She's a wonderful hot water bottle.

hmmm... anything happen
over the weekend that would have made her restless?


Nope. Just a bog-standard boring weekend at home.


She is probably dreaming that she is running and jumping. Muttley often
does that when he is laying next to me, but generally his feet are facing
away from me. Sometimes he winds up taking too much of the bed, and I have
to ask him to "move around" or "get off" so I can rearrange the covers and
get comfortable. Then he gets back in, almost immediately when asked, or
otherwise he might sneak back in after I am asleep.

Maybe you can get some dog booties for Harriet, and stuff them with foam
rubber, so her kicks won't hurt so much. But I doubt they would stay on
very long.

Does she always curl up on the same side? Maybe she is facing the other way
because of some pain issue with her normal position.
