When at my house Rizzo is allowed everywhere (except the cat litter box room) he is allowed on my bed, on my couches basically no boundaries. However when at my bf's place we have to respect his rules, because it is his place. He doesn't think dog's should be up on the furniture (I tried to explain that he isn't a dog, he's a Yorkie, but he doesn't get it) But Rizzo caught on quick, so he just plays with the kitty that is there and just ignores us, unless the cat gets somewhere he cant reach, or he is tired and wants to cuddle. Then he just looks at me with his big sad eyes while the cat is tackling him because he want's to come up and cuddle with us. I've tried to win the bf over by holding Rizzo and giving him my big sad puppy dog eyes and Rizz seems to play along just fine by doing the same. I kind of understand, but I explained that my well washed/groomed does far less damage to his couch that his kitten, but he still wasn't having it. I only accept it because it is his house so it is his rules. He comes over to my house he gets to deal with cuddleing with both my pup and my kitty.
If it is your furniture and you dont have an issue with having him up there cuddling, maybe you should talk to your bf and find out why he doesn't want him up there and explain how much better off you guys would be with a happy yorkie in your lap then a sad yorkie whining from the kitchen...jmo |
