Gracie, our German Sheperd, is not allowed on furniture. However, she does have a favorite chair to hide behind. She only goes back there when she has stolen a "prize." She's quite good so sometimes I don't realize she has swiped a blanket, rubber band, whatever, but then I see her peering at me from behind her chair and then I know that she's stolen something. If she ever gets a new spot, I'll be in trouble
