Hey, why nap on the floor if you can nap on a rug or cushion.
Pepper is a chihuahua/Boston terrier cross (?), and it's actually rare that she comes out of her crate. She LOVES her crate, and spends about 23 hours a day in there, I swear, even though it doesn't have a door.

Lucky is a smooth fox terrier, and she is a couch potato, literally. She is laying on the back of the couch in that picture. She is ALWAYS on the couch.

Vanilla is a kelpie/whippet cross (?), and she is the only real "doggie" dog I have. She lays on the carpet all the time, like normal dogs.

Sequoia, who is not in these pictures, is a Jack Russell terrier, and usually lays on the recliner, although she sometimes lays on the floor.

The five IG's - Gia, Rocky, Iggy, Crystal and Jewel - would sooner chew off their own leg than lay on the floor. I have no idea why Crystal was in this picture, that never happens. They lay on the recliner, but never the couch, because leather just isn't soft enough. They will cram themselves three or four to a dog bed, if it's soft and squishy. They MUST sleep in bed with me, under the covers. They lay on pillows or blankets. They are such divas.
