The Great Couch Debate

Pam, I especially love the picture with Ripley in it. They look so cozy!! Malone isn't allowed on the furniture...except the bed (when he's invited) and our desk chairs. As soon as we get up and walk away, he claims them as HIS!

Cute pictures, everyone! I have a few pics of Sadie on my bed. She's only allowed on my bed, it used to be just when my mom wasen't looking, and my dad didn't really much care, but now she sleeps with me every night!

Our animals aren't *suppose* to be on the furniture (other than the beds). Mom has gone to the extreme of putting stuff in the chairs when we're at work/gone for the day.

As you can see... it REALLY works....

All of these pics are TOO cute and funny!!

No dogs on couches/beds allowed here.

Reggie does often get to sit on the computer chair. He also enjoys sitting on the toilet seat. No kidding...I need a pic of that, lol.

They find their way to have some dog furniture anyway though.....

Like my banana chair...

Camping chairs...

And the patio furniture is all theirs! Nebo especially enjoys jumping on and off of it all day. Poor dogs, too bad it's covered now because it's winter.

They are allowed to sit or lay wherever they want. Sometimes I have to tell them get off the couch if we have company. They are not allowed in our bed room no more since we got a water bed last weekend. Hubby dearest is afraid they will poke a whole in the bed.

Cisco sits where ever he wants to!!

His favorite spot has to be right in the middle of my lap!!

Our dogs have access to everything as well. This last Monday, my husband had a group of people over (they study Spanish together), and it was a tad embarrassing with the dogs (exciting with the company) running from from one piece of furniture to the next. As soon as someone even looked like they were going to sit down, up popped a dog in that spot.

my dogs are allowed on ALL the furnitur, this includes the kitchen table, wellnot the table itself they are allowed on the chairs, and on all the beds, we bought all our couches to match the dogs.....ect.... misty sleeps in her crate until she is trustworthy, and happy and Ripley sleep on my bed, perky sleeps on my moms bed, and shadow sleeps under it, they all have choice though

and becuz they have so much freedom they dont have the temptation of somthing forbidden know what I mean? they always want what they dont have, well they have everything(furniture wise) so they are perfectly happy on the floor rather then the couch and its their choice

My dogs are always doing stuff like that!! Before we had our basement waterproofed, the salemen was hearing for an evlauation. He was sitting ont he edge of the couch so Ralph and I could see what he was talking about. Cincy jumped up behind him and started licking his ear! Thankfully he was a dog person, and by the time he left, he told us if ever needed to get rid of our dogs, to call him! I told him he'd have to wait in line

Darn right! Those are also my babies with me being their aunt and all!

I know this is the dog board but since Keegan isn't allowed on the furniture other than the bed, all I have is pics of Kylie on the furniture.

On Wednesday, as I didn't have to work and Brian didn't know yet, he left to be there on time. We'll as soon as he left, Dakota climbed right up on the couch and positioned herself directly behind where I was reading the paper and sat down behind me. Then she proceeded to lay down and claim it as her. She acted like I was aloud to stay on the edge of the couch, but I better not try to move her, LOL!

Then a night or two later, Brian got up from the couch for something. As he walked back up to the couch, watching tv and paying no attention to the couch, he stood there for a minute watching the tv. Just when he was about to sit down, he almost fell over because Dakota scared him. She had quietly walked right around the coffee table and climbed right up on the couch sitting in his seat without him even knowing she was in the same room. It was halarious to see her starring at him waiting for him to sit down, and then see him flip out because he had no idea she was there. I couldn't understand how he did not see her pull this off, but she did. It was too funny.
