I'm confused - are you referring to your dog or your husband? vbg

All it takes to fit under a bed is motivation....DH told me about when he
was in Viet Nam, and the base was hit for the first time. He fully realized
that people he didn't even know were trying to kill him -- and rolled off
his top bunk slap to the floor and stuffed himself under the bottom bunk,
which space was already occupied by the regular occupant of the bottom bunk.
And you know what -- they fit.

As I say, motivation...

Would he even fit under a bed?
ROTFLMAO!

That depends. Some of those old-fashioned beds where you needed a
stepladder to get into them, he might fit quite nicely.



He'd fit under a newer bed too. He's quite skinny. Thing is, his feet
or his head would have to hang out because he's also quite long.

Agreed - I'm 6 ft 4 ins tall (should be two feet taller according to my
weight) and always have to sleep diagonally even in a double bed
otherwise my feet get cold!

Same height as my ex son-in-law. He had a bed and bedding specially made in
the end (there`s a local firm that does that). Expensive, though! The main
trouble is fitting a NORMAL sized bed in most modern houses, though - let
alone an oversized one.

He`s just grateful that he`s not as tall as the Suffolk Giant from a nearby
village. He was 7 ft 7" and his younger brother was only an inch shorter.
http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/newbourn.htm John Waller, the Vicar
mentioned on the website, who is a real character, has been a great friend
of ours for about 30 years. He told us that one of his ancestors was hanged
for piracy! It wouldn`t surprise me in the least!

I worked with a chap at BT who is 7 ft 2".

Which is the way DH, at 6'2", and I used to sleep in our double
bed...until we got our king-sized one.
