I'm so loving these stories. We've got mostly lap dogs but one or two more independent little ones, it seems. I couldn't help but wonder if anybody had a dog like Tibbe so determined to get to his spot throughout the day. If he weren't practically falling off the couch when he's sharing the pillow on the den couch with me, it wouldn't be such a problem but there's just not so much room and he's right next to me on that pillow- meaning he's right at the front of the couch. I'm always afraid he'll fall off the couch and once or twice it's happened, though he was able to turn it into a jump and landed on his feet. But I worry one day he won't and what if I fall asleep and turn and off he goes! I've a thick rug I keep on the floor with a wicker basket with built-up cushioned insides sitting where he might fall to help but it's still not a good situation. I've tried discouraging every way I can for the 5 years I've had him but his heart belongs to his "spot" and he's not giving up on it! I do keep him out of it as much as possible but still will let him in his spot a few times a day just because he's so bent on loving that one place above all.
Anymore dogs with favorite spots?
