False economy

[Pawsitive Thinking]

We are in the process of buying some new couches and are training the boys not to go on the furniture before the new ones arrive.

They are doing really well but this does mean that if I want cuddle time I have to sit on the floor with them - so where is the point in new couches if I'm going to be spending most of my time on the floor

Ha ha Denise! That's our way of life with having furkids!

SO TRUE!! We got a new sectional several months ago and the dogs are no longer allowed up.. It's sad really. So I sit on the floor a lot so we can cuddle. Or I come upstairs and cuddle with them in our bed.

I know exactly how you feel. Since we've bought our new bed the dogs are no longer allowed on it. They don't really seem to mind since they still sleep in the bedroom with us.
I miss them but love not have dog hair in my mouth

We got our couch that has a lounge section on it. We put a blanket over that part and that is where Zoee is allowed. She knows she is not allowed anywhere else on the couch. The cats, on the other hand, are allowed anywhere. Of course they are short haired, not long like Zoee.
Do you think you could add a blanket and make that their area? It may be difficult to do if it's just a regular couch. With the lounge thingy on ours it's bigger than the regular cushions.
Or you could get a nice big blankie and that can go on the floor for your cuddle time.

Awwww Neesy! It's hard I know - although we don't let Roscoe on the couches because, well, he's flippin huge and then WE would be the ones on the floor so I have gotten used to having our cuddles on the floor. Sounds like you won't get to enjoy the new couches much either
