Tessa is definitely a lap dog. I'm just barely sitting down and she's on the footstool ready to jump on my lap and go to sleep. She has a fit if I put my iPad or laptop on my lap, barks at me until I finally give in. However, the left side if the bed is her's and she doesn't get near me at all. She has a warm snuggle blankie she sleeps on. So Then I'm on the iPad reading all the YT new posts. Enjoy every minute of it.
