The Recliner is Haunted!

The other night John remembered the times when he had a rare sleepless night in which he would get up and go to the recliner to see if he could rest there.  Whenever that happened, Petey would get up from wherever he was sleeping and go check on John.  He always had to keep tabs on his people.

Petey would arrive in the living room just about the time John would get relaxed.  Petey had to get in the recliner with John and squeeze himself between John and the arm of the recliner.  He'd work and work to make himself comfortable.  Usually about the time they both got settled again, Petey would remember that half of the bed was empty and make a beeline to the bedroom to get in John's spot.  Thus, disturbing John once again.

We had a nice chuckle at the memory of Petey's little quirks and went to sleep.  A couple of hours later John woke up.  He was wide awake and unable to settle down to get back to sleep so he went to the recliner.  He went to sleep there.  Petey still came and disturbed his rest.  John dreamed repeatedly about Petey. 

He has some pleasant dreams about him in his prime before his face turned so white with age.  He has some unpleasant dreams in which he was looking and looking for Petey but could not find him.  When he woke up he made a beeline back for the bed!

It looks like recliner sleeping just isn't going to happen for John.
