White Dog brought in a stone to trade in the middle of the night. In my returning from the bathroom and shifting her so that I could lie down the trade was lost in the blankets. This upset her and when the still half-asleep Steve reached to pull her closer, White Dog nipped him! Of course Steve was immediately awake and White Dog was severely scolded. She was sent off the bed but jumped back to lie submissively across Steve begging forgiveness. He accepted her apology and the very contrite White Dog spent the rest of the night head next to his on the pillow and body pressed tightly along his length. In the morning the drama-starting stone was unearthed but all agreed the treat had been forfeited.
