I feel the same way... and the vets who have been working with Layla and even her surgeon say it's fine to have her on the couch watching tv with us or whatever as long as she's still and comfortable. We had one scare with her "jumping" off the futon the first week we had her home, so now I always have a hand on her if she's not her in crate. I do her exercises with her laying on the couch and me sitting on the floor in front of her... one arm around her and the other moving her legs. I have been told NO by the other forums but I feel that we're being safe, and that it's saving my back from doing everything on the floor! It's more comfortable for both of us I think.
