Remedial Nap

On many days, Emme and I carve out some time after lunch for a nap. I take my magazine or book and we go into the family room and lie down on the couch for about 45 minutes. I read, Emme naps, Rudy sleeps next to the couch, and all is right with the world. Some days there is not time for a nap and Emme misses it. On these days, later in the afternoon or evening, she will sometimes go into the family room all by herself and push the pillows around on the couch and lie down. It is like she didn't get a real nap and she is setting up a remedial nap to make up for it. Puppies know what is important.
