Nala had somehow get inside the Johnsons ' home , and she cursorily fell in love with their bed .
Married living does n’t intend the remainder of one - night stands . Just ask Julie Thornton Johnson .
That ’s how she — jokingly — described what bechance to her and her husband Jimmy Johnson in the former morning hours of May 1 at their dwelling in Ocoee , Tenn. That cockcrow , they wake up up to a dog in their seam who definitely was n’t theirs but would soon become their new buddy .

It was a cock-a-hoop , brown pup who ’d pulled a Goldilocks and decided the space between the Johnsons was just right . And when they judge to draw the blankets away , she was much too comfortable to be bothered .
" She snuggle into him and me like she ’d been our frankfurter forever , " Julie evidence Daily Paws .
Nala apparently really liked the Johnsons ' raw mattress and clean shroud , but the couple eventually reunite Nala with her moms that forenoon . As of Tuesday , Nala has even project the Johnsons and their three detent — Zeppelin , Hollis , and Jupiter — again , meeting up for a playdate .
But how exactly did Nala get into the Johnson ’s mansion ?
Julie ’s theory : Either she grew thumbs ( unlikely ! ) or Jimmy failed to exclude the door wholly when he last let their dogs out . It storm that Nox , and , as the Johnsons later learned , Nala is afraid of flashy noises . She was alone in the wild after slipping out of her collar the afternoon before .
" She just went to the first menage she could notice , " Julie aver .
Sometime in the overnight hour , between 2 and 5 a.m. , Nala cringe into the Johnsons ' bed . Julie woke up at one point to use the bathroom and find her , but she assumed she was Jupiter , a 3 - year - oldgolden retrievermix .
Then the sunlight came up , and Julie notice Nala ’s headspring was on the pillows , something the Johnson dogs seldom do . Jimmy asked , " Julie , whose dog is this ? " They both faced Nala , dumb for several second .
Julie ’s Facebook post that followed is quite fishy :
Eventually , they endeavor to get her out of the bottom , but she reject . She would n’t go out with the three other dogs , and her mamma ’s eventual arrival would n’t even get her out of bed . Her mama eventually had to hold her out of Johnson ’s star sign .
" We were all dying laughing , " Julie says .
Happily , she soon render for the playdate . The humans enjoy some ice cream while the dog love a variety of treats .
Julie hopes her encounter with a surprise bedfellow can serve as inspiration for others to welcome stray or suffer frump into their dwelling or yards , giving the pups shelter and help them see their homes again .
" cad are chic , " she allege . " They ’re instinctual animate being . I finger like Nala just knew we were going to be hunky-dory with it . "
