RE: Topic of Couches

My furiend Dexter has posted about a most interesting topic and one I am very experienced with.  Couches.  He has asked if any of his furiends or loyal readers have a couch of their own or favorite chair.

Dexter the answer is Yes.

When Mom and Dad adopted me I was living on concrete and had callouses, a scuffed up and bloody naked tail tip from rubbing it against the concrete block kennel walls (too small for me), and bloody fly eaten ears.  The first thing I discovered at my new home was a very soft and comfy couch I quickly claimed as my very own.

This used to be my favorite couch lounging style.  Every time I did this Mom would come running to rub my tummy.  It felt marvelous.  Yes, I have her trained very well.

Now a days my couch lounging style is more like toes in the breeze (visit Dexter's blog for a better example of the style).

Being a benevolent Queen I do share MY couch with my sisters.  Although if Mom or Dad even thinks of adding one more dog to our royal court I may not be as gratuitous. 

After 8 years of doggie drool, a missing cushion (some doggie thought it was a fun toss pillow to play catch with.  Don't know what kind of Dane doggie would do that ;)  Mom and Dad decided it was time for a brand new Emma couch.  On Labor Day weekend we got this.

At first it was not very comfortable and I wanted them to bring back the Emma couch because it fit my body perfectly.  After 8 years it was all molded nicely to all my shapes.  This new thing was like trying to sleep on a rock.  Dad said after we sat on it and laid on it it would soften up.  Now a month later it's much better than it was.  At least I don't feel like I'm going to slide right off during my Zzzzzz's.  Whew, that was one rough month. 

I will sometimes squeeze myself into the chair, but my ultimate favorite piece of living room furniture is MY couch.

I have no idea why my parents have such a small chair.

Bella and Dexter share the same favorite couch lounging style.

Bella also likes to play up the cute factor and make Mom sqeeeeeee.

She also likes to snuggle under the blankies.

In doing this Bella also helped in the need for a new couch.  She likes to get under the blankies to snuggle and that is accomplished by digging up the ones covering the couch. 

I know what you are thinking.  You think I forgot someone.  Nope.

Sweet Pea likes both the couch and the chair.  Sometimes at night she prefers to sleep out on the couch instead of with all of us in the big bed.  I think that's because up until she came to live at our royal estate she had never known the comforts of softness.  In her previous life she had been confined to a basement and furniture was off limits.  My parents are very generous and share everything with us.  They have discovered that we love soft and comfy things just as much as they do.  Hmmm, maybe a topic for a later post.  We have lots of those plushy, furry blankies that we stole borrowed from Mom :)

Here's Sweet Pea enjoying the comforts of both the chair and couch.

I think her favorite couch lounging style is touching us with her hairy Pea feet (she has long hair between her paw pads).

 

Dexter I hope this answers your question and I'm looking forward to your next inquiry.

Kisses & Nudges,
