Emma claims new bed
 

Hey, I get the middle! Dibs!

Kitty.

Only the singles have been invited to your house which looks to be quite lovely.

Can you share more pictures for us?

gracie, it is such a work in progress...just let go of the last of furniture I brought with, except for Emma's moon chair. I'll pm re invites but not tonight..

It seems that emma is in the laps of luxury. Go emma!

It is a foregone conclusion that dogs take their half out of the middle. And ours does it diagonally. We call him Diagal Dog. Too bad he's about 6 feet long stretched out...:doh:

It looks like the new bed has Emma's approval! And, the golf cart too!

Years ago someone gave me a sign that reads "This house is maintained entirely for the comfort and convenience of our cat(s)!" I think if you change cat(s) to dog(s) that the sign could apply to you and Emma too! We love to spoil our fur babies, don't we?

Emma looks so comfortable and happy in her new bed! and everything goes so well with her beautiful fur coat.

It looks like someone is enjoying that new mattress!

ha ha, great photo Kitty. When we adopted Bear last year, he arrived with his own 4 poster canopy bed, which our other adoptee, Meg promptly claimed, They do take turns, but as yet, have not gone in there together. The one outside, wistfully stares at the one enjoying the fancy bed.

LOL....good doggie....:D

oh, the non-dog people must be shaking their heads in disbelief. My dogs (10lbs each) also seem to move me to the edge of a queen size bed every night. talk about hogging the covers.

Love the pictures, thanks for sharing.
 

Love the pictures, thanks for sharing.

Our 'horse' Caly who tips the scale around 75lbs used to sleep on the Queen size bed with my wife and I. I had to put an end to this after waking up several nights with me almost off the bed and the dog spread out snoring away. It took about a week of training to get her to not to come on the bed unless invited but so glad we did that.

The tough part of the training is being in love with an enabler :D. Caly was doing great and I go away for a week on business. My first night home, I go into bed and guess who climbs in (hint: there were three of us). Doggie training 101, no means no, and it ALWAYS means no, even when you are too tired to get her off the bed.

My favorite dog in my life (Sam, passed away four years ago) had an old awful chair in my shop. One day I cleaned up the shop and decided to have her use a nicer looking chair, the old one put in the garage staged for the garbage next week. She would come up to me and stare at me and the place the old chair was for hours, until I finally gave in and returned her old chair to its original position. It was then that I realized who was the real boss. Until then I thought it was Kathy!

Oh, those are all funny stories. Can I add mine? We spent a couple weeks training Crosby to stay off the bed, even before he reached 88 lbs. He would jump up, be shooed off, jump up an hour later, be shooed off, and on and on. Finally he learned to stay off. However, he also learned that come 6:30 am, we were too lazy to shoo him off. So now he spends the last hour diagonally on the bed--Diagal Dog, as mentioned in an earlier post.

We took him overseas for six months, and this was the result:

How I love happy dog threads! The story about Meg and Bear taking turns in the princess bed is so cute!

We adopted Lollipop when she was 3 and weighed 70 lbs. That's way too big to sleep on the bed, right? Fireboy and I agreed that the dog would never be allowed to get up on human furniture. She has a comfortable thick bed in every room.

Three years later, Fireboy has fallen madly in love with Lollipop. She learned very quickly that he is the permissive one, and I'm the bad one. She never gets up on furniture when I'm around. But the rest of the time she takes great delight in sleeping wherever she wants. Of course, she jumps down when she hears my footsteps in the hall, and innocently pretends she's been sleeping on her dog bed the whole time.
