This morning I was shown this picture and told a story that anyone who has dogs needs to read.! For the past 12 years I have worked with dogs. I train them and work them and spend 95% of my life with them! And I love it to bits. Florence for those that havent met her is my pet dog. A really happy go lucky basset hound that if Im honest Ive done a bit with but not much! : I love pet dogs to be happy smelly dogs not like my working dogs. Yesterday I had been up early and been grafting getting wood. : So when the boys had gone to bed got myself comfy watching a film and fell asleep! :-[ :-[ This is the funny bit!! Florence had 2 mins with Shell (somwhere she would normally be allowed to have a few mins! ) and then moved across to me!!!. Shell watched and she apparently had a few nudges at me to make sure I was asleep (I dont let her sit with me on the sofa! ) Then crawled up snook in and took up her position!! This is a happy go lucky bitch stamping her dominance !! Had I not seen the picture I wouldnt have believed it!! By hippyhough at 2011-12-15 Luckily Shell knows dogs aswell as me and stepped in and took the picture for a grin and then knocked her back down the ladder..( took her to her box and made her sleep there for the rest of the night!)
As soon as anyone moves barn hops in there place on the sofa only to be moved off for him to sneak back on when no ones looking its a 9 yr battle lol
At the old house when Zoe was away our two dogs would get on the bed with me while I was asleep. As soon as I moved slightly they would fill the extra space - this would continue until I was perched on the edge of the bed with two dogs luxuriating in all the space. Normally I would wake up and in my half asleep state consider the situation entirely normal and pootle off to the spare room.
ha ha, my cat is just like that, always curls up next to me when i fall asleep on the sofa. our other cat wakes me up by eating my hair!!!!!!
I no your not supposed to let dogs on the settee... but i agree.. tis a lovely pic!! just need a couple of santa hats and it could have been your family xmas card!!!
She's know to keep away from the trev drool btw that's not dominant and if Florence wants proper lessons on a being a dominant bitch PĂșca is available for 1 to 1 training on how to do it properly )
