sobesmom Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Our dogs are allowed on furniture - except DD's bed - her room is off-limits, and fosters are not allowed on beds. There are comfy dog-beds all over the house. But - when we're all hanging out in the livingroom, "prime" space becomes a premium. All humans, and greys want on the furniture. Humans get first dibs, greys fit in where they can, or have to "gasp" lay on a dogbed! Our grey, Diana, has cornered the market on a piece of prime furniture - the rocking recliner. Every grey has tried it - our other grey and a dozen fosters - and all have jumped off immediately in fear as it rocks crazily after they jump on. Diana somehow learned to just lay down - the rocking subsides - and she's is hog heaven. She's actually learned not to "jump" onto it, just "walk" up into it, and it doesn't rock as much. We got new furniture recently, and now have 2 rocking recliners - Diana's the queen now. She has 2 options, that NO OTHER DOG will DARE to try! When DH and DD are taking up the couch, and I'm in one of the recliners, Diana takes over the other rocking recliner and nearly smirks when the "poor" foster has to take the nice dogbed because he's too scared of the rocking recliner. She's quite cheeky about herself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogdaze Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 That's neat how she figured out how to get up there without rocking the chair. None of mine have, even though it's the most comfortable chair in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabozem Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 One of my grey angels, Callie, loved the rocker/recliner. She would jump up there and turn around the obligatory three times then plop down for a good rest. If my husband happened to be in the chair, she would stand in front of him and bark at him until he moved. It was so cute to watch.

Guest ryeamans Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My Charlie likes the Papasan chair. It's really cute to see him in a bowl-like position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
