Set and broken rules? Hmmm... saw this in a forum the other day, pretty much describes my situation at home:
Rules for the Dog 
1. The dog is not allowed in the house.
2. OK - the dog is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms, sometimes.
3. The dog is allowed in all the rooms, but must stay off the furniture.
4. The dog can get on the old furniture only.
5. Sometimes the dog is allowed on all the furniture.
6. OK - the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation and must not sleep there.
7. The dog can sleep at the bottom of the bed, but must not disturb the occupants.
8. The dog can sleep on the bed, but not under the blankets.
9. On a cold night, the dog can sleep under the blankets.
10. Humans may sleep in the bed, provided they do not disturb the dog.

It started off with my husband not wanting Buddy sleeping on our bed as he did have his very own BIG bed and that is where he should be, but over time things changed, starting with-
1. wanting a lie in on Sat and Sunday morning, so when going to the bathroom during the night, I started to sneak him onto the bed = good lie in
2. going to bathroom every night, door being pushed open to a bouncing dog wanting to get into our bed = took him back to his own bed and told him to go to sleep
3. given in to Buddy during midnight bathroom trip, he now sleeps in or on the bed, either way I am now sqashed and dont get much sleep
Need bigger bed, british bed are soooooo small
Anybody else, tried to keep to the rules you set and broken down? |
