RMKC · 05-22-2007, 06:46 AM

yup both of mine do that, Rosi is worse then Poli, its their safe spot !

paulapoo · 05-22-2007, 06:49 AM

Both of mine do it (yorkie and shih-poo) I also call them my "parrot dogs". They sit up on the back of the chair or couch. It doesn't bother me but when company comes over it can get a little embarrassing. Especially when my shih-poo takes his paw and combs your hair.

lol....Buddy does the same thing!!! When I am driving Buddy sits on my shoulders but he really wants to be on top of my head.

I can just see people looking at me as I drive around, "look at that womans wild hair do". lol

Your screen name cracks me up, cause I call Otis "Otie-licious".

my baby does this too...it is sooo funny, i always say she thinks she is a parrot..lol

Mine doesn't climb my shoulders at all, or to be exact, he doesn't climb anything. He can't even jump!

He will try to jump and jump just to get on the couch and still can't reach it. If his bed is not on the ground, he won't be able to get in it. I elevated his bed a little one day and he just slept right next to it. I'm thinking the reason might be because he is very petite. Who knows?!?

Bengi climbs the couch pillow but not me

Ida · 05-22-2007, 08:59 AM

Baxter does this also - I was told he was trying to be the dominant one and I stop him each time he tries - Although I found it very amusing. I thought it had to be stopped so he knows who's boss. Maybe I'll let him up there again - He is boss you know.

Wobie insists on riding on my shoulders when we're in the car...weird...

Jake loves to sit on my or hubby's shoulder!

DianeW · 05-22-2007, 04:07 PM

Harvey Does This Too - Dont Think It Is Dominance With Him Though - He Knows Who Is Boss..........

He Is Very Cuddly And Barley Sleeps Anywhere But On Your Knee, In Crook Of Arm, On Chest, On Shoulder, Or Right Up Close Laying Next To My Legs. Sometimes He Gets Himself So Comfy, I Sit There So Not To Disturbe Him, Am I Mad Or What?

It Is Lovely Haveing A Cuddly Baby......

Autumn does this only if we are outside and I am holding her and my next door neighbor comes near her. For what ever reason she hates him!

Rosie did this the last time I took her to the groomer. I was holding her and she got scared of another dog that came to my waist. She climbed my shoulder and nearly fell. I couldn't control her and nearly didn't get her on time before she fell.

mizzwanned · 05-22-2007, 04:34 PM

OMG YES!!! lol London sometimes thinks she is a bird and likes to actually SIT on my shoulder and look down at the rest of the world, I guess she likes to be up high and since she's so tiny she actually fits well on my shoulder, of course I have to hold on to her just in case but she sits perfectly still. I am always joking that I may have to buy a shoulder harness so that she doesn't fall off

Oh yea I also have a loft bed way up near the ceiling and London loves to sit by the edge and look down
