I know Lou's ritual fairly well, my kit runs crazily around the house and then jumps up in the bed and ruffles all the linens before he crawls slowly up and pushes his nose within inches of mine to be sure I'm really under the covers trying to sleep, after I open my eyes and acknowledge him he then climbs and settles snuggled tight against me, often on top of an arm... nothing like that asleep limb feeling and trying to move it with a 9 pound dead asleep kit on it! He mostly sleeps through the night with me and isn't a fan of the alarm ... must have learned that from me!
