In Redcliffe now and...

I've been sitting here, doing some writing on my netbook (Mal/Inara fic, yay!) for the past 20 mins or so. In that time, the dog has curled up on the couch next to me. I'm supposed to sleep on the couch tonight. And I want to sleep soon. But pushing the dog off the couch feels mean. Buddy looks so sweet and innocent and doggy-like.. and.. OMG. I need help. :P I should just push him off already. But... Maybe when I get up to turn off the light he'll move.. ?
