HeyRunDog Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Grace and Guinness have the same preference of which dog bed is the best with the sofa as number one choice followed by bed two being under the window and then the one next to it under the TV is the third choice. Who gets what is strictly on a first come first served basis which they both accept good naturedly with no squabbling, growling or bullying to get the other one to move. Come biscuit time if Guinness is on a higher ranking bed he will get up and follow me to the treat cupboard and Grace will quickly jump onto the bed Guinness had occupied a moment before and wait with a "butter wouldn't melt" expression for the biscuit to come to her. Guinness gives Grace a "not again" look and settles onto a lower ranking bed.

LBass Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Grace, you're one smart cookie and you're doing it right. Years ago I had Piper The Perfect, MoMo Meany Pants, and Spirit. They each liked the couch best and would grudgingly share the couch if they had to, but that meant room for only two hounds on the couch. When the 2 younger hounds were on the couch, Piper would ask to go outdoors. Mo an Spirit would leap up to go out too! As they both pushed to get out the door first, Piper would turn around and hop hp on the couch. That's the way it's done. Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker. With loving memories of MoMo (FTH Chyna Moon), Spirit, Miles the slinky kitty (OSH), Piper "The Perfect" (Oneco Chaplin), Winston, Yoda, Hector, and Claire.

My favorite was one of my broodies who would suddenly look up, all alert, maybe stand up, like she heard something outside. Fletcher would leap up and run outside, Molly would snag the bed and curl up with her back to the room so when Fletcher came back in, she could pretend to not even know he was there. Worked Every.

EllenEveBaz Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Another "Look! Look! It's a ... " bed-stealing household here, for many years with most of the dogs. How do 50% of the dogs figure it out so quickly and 50% remain totally clueless? I have come to the sad conclusion that with Jeter gone, neither one of the remaining dogs think that sitting next to me on the couch is the preferred seat.
