All Wet

As much as I love scuba diving, I don't always like being wet.

We sprung a little pinhole leak in our waterbed last weekend.

(oooh, groovy, a 70s bag of water to sleep on!)

Who knows how it happened.... two dogs and a cat in the bed.... with toys and bones.... yeah, who knows?  *grin*

After draining the bed (because the first patch didn't stick!) Joe repaired it properly and we waited a couple hours before filling the bed again. The bed was still too cold to sleep on, so we spent the night on the sofa (him) and the recliner (me). The irony wasn't lost on us - we slept 12 hours on the living room furniture! We never sleep that long in our bed. Of course, the herd of animals was relegated to the floor for the night, which didn't please any of them.

So far, the bed has stayed dry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my wetsuit handy!

Man, what a pain! Waterbeds are nice, but sometimes they're a little extra work! Hope ya'll stay dry!

I have wanted a waterbed ever since I was a little girl. My mom always said that they weren't "practical," which of course made me want one more than ever! I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through yours, for now.

I didn't know anybody still slept on waterbeds! I used to love them but my DH gets seasick, so that was the end of that era for me! It was either him or the bed...

Maybe draining the bed, patching it and filling it back up made you so tired, you slept 12 hours! It is a lot of work after all.
I have finally gotten my small dog to sleep on the same side of the bed as the big dog. Now they only take up half of it instead of 3/4. I had the small strip left by them right in the center. (Can you say pinned down??? LOL)

I totally know about animals sleeping in the bed, lol! I have three cats and they all want the prime spot of being right next to me.
