The evolution of Astro's sleeping habits.
Stage (1) - puppy. Spent most of his time in a crate, locked up, whining.
Stage (2) - won't pee in the house (adolescence?). Got himself out of the crate, but not allowed onto the bed. We'll call this the Cincinnati and Madison phases.
Stage (3) - middle age (fond du lac). Allowed to sleep on the bed. I think we were sleep deprived with new babies in the house and didn't notice until it was too late, but he was still pretty sure he wasn't supposed to be there, so he would jump down with a nudge of the toe.
Stage (4) - retirement. Allowed to sleep on the bed, and not interested in moving to response to our desires to also sleep on the bed.
Stage (5) - old age. Home, home on the pillows. This results in two distinct problems - smelly pillows and wet pillows (from when the dog licks his paws - yeah, we'll assume it's his paws).

Astro needs his own bed. And I don't mean a blanket on the floor. He knows that Haley has an actual bed, with frame, mattress, sheet and blanket to sleep on. He wants one too. And you might want to get a move on with that, because I think there's going to be a Stage (6), and it won't be pretty.
