Carrie,
Thanks for your comments.I believe you are
absolutly right with both answers.I could
make Bud get off the bed 'if I wanted to',
but it has never bothered me,so was not an
issue with me.Just wanted to know why he
would want to sleep in the bed only in the
winter? (Maybe he was cold on the floor?)
Only time I shooed him off was once when I
rolled over and came 'nose to nose' with
him sharing my pillow.That was a bit much.
I think most people want to 'reasure' a
anxious dog as we would a person,and that
only makes the dog more anxious.You're right,
it's a communication problem between people
and dogs. My dog is very 'pushy' and I work
on that everyday.It will always be a work in
progress.. Thanks again.
