I got played! 
An update to yesterday’s post about Quinn’s asking for help at 1am:
Turns out Nabil was awake when Quinn pressed the ‘mom’ ‘help’ buttons, so he filled me in on what happened.
Quinn was whining from her bed and woke Nabil up. She wanted to come cuddle in our bed.
“Absolutely not”, he said.
The whining continued.
When he told her ‘no’ more firmly, Quinn got out of her bed and went to the talking buttons.
‘Mom’ ‘Help’
Quinn was asking the weakest link to help her get into the bed to cuddle 
But wait, it gets better!
As she pranced proudly back into the bedroom, that startled me enough that I woke up, and upon seeing a big scary shadow, I called out “Quinn, come!”
Happy as can be, Quinn leapt into the bed, ready to be the protector from scary shadows… while getting the cuddles she wanted all along.
Maybe having a smart dog isn’t so good after all…
