Scary snuggling.

There have been several times now that Doc & I have joked about getting a Snuggie for two.  This is usually done when we’re battling over who has more of the blanket while we’re watching TV & neither of us wants to get up and walk five feet to get another blanket from either lounge chair across the room.  We usually then get sidetracked about discussing how we’d have to fight the dogs over it (they LOVE soft things) if we had one & then we’d end up having to get them their own.  Keep in mind, we joke about this.  Note the word “joke”.

Earlier this week I was developing a nasty sinus infection & commented to CCL that I am sure the dogs love it when I get sick because it then gives them a whole heap of time during which they can cuddle with me and take advantage of any soft blanket I pull out to use myself.  And then she hit me with this whopper: “Oh, my cats do that too with my Snuggie.  Well, it’s not a real Snuggie.  It’s an off brand that is called Snaket or something like that.  It scares the cats every time I pull it out, but then they get used to it.”

Can one blame them for being scared?!  Not only does CCL have a Snuggie, but she was too cheap to even buy the real thing.  So, yes, I’d also be scared if I saw someone pull out a knock-off Snuggie.  I don’t get how they can get past the fear part of it long enough to want to cuddle on it…
