Hahaha...I love all of the pictures! Yeah, the decision is all mine now so it looks like Dax is gonna be spending some time on the couch with the rest of the family and other dogs haha. I was hesitant at first because I was afraid he'd destroy it, and then mom would yell at me ha. He's getting pretty good about not chewing things

Murphy is wherever we are... so that's that! He's a snuggler and I wouldn't have it any other way

Thankfully we decorated the house in to match LOL.. originally I was calling all of our decor "Chocolate and white" now I call it "Liver and white"

Koda is allowed on the couch, but it's a problem when she automatically assumes it's OK to go on other people's couches.  We can easily tell her to "Off the couch," but we need to work on giving her permission before getting up on the couch in the first place.  Most people don't mind, but it's not a great habit.  So far no serious damage to the couch, just a few minor scratches.  She likes to jump back and forth between the couch and the arm chair.  It's hard to resist those puppy eyes.

Rocky makes a great Bed Potatoe too, not a couch potatoe.

13 1/2 yrs ago, when I brought Kaiser home as a 7 week old pup, the first thing he did when he came in the house was to climb up on the couch. Now that he's offiially retired, he spends most of his day lounging on the couch. He no longer climbs upstairs, so the family room is his domain. Kaiser and I share the couch when I'm watching tv.

We're lucky if there is room for us.  The puppies took over the couch at an early age, I think they were about 7 1/2 weeks in this picture.

Ours are allowed, but not on the leather in the living room. They usually only get on them in the evening when we are settled in and sit with us. Our microfiber couches have held up well to two gsp's and two small children. They have taken over the spot in front of our new woodburning insert. Our 5 y/o daughter also loves that spot and she has to move them often. We don't let them on the beds anymore.

During the winter, Buddy prefers his bed right in front of the woodstove.  (He lays so close sometimes that I fear he's roasting his little brain.)  But he's allowed on the couches, and in the bed, though he knows he can't stay in my reading seat by the lamp.   It's pretty cold in here sometimes, so we all clump together to stay warm.

In theory the answer is no but Molly sneaks out on the living room couch so she can keep an eye on the neighborhood. She has a big round bed in the kidchen, a smaller cuddly bed in the family room and her favorite perch the hassock in the family room now sports the blanket made by Rebecca. She loves to climb up there and have us wrap her up.
