Too cute! I allow my dog wherever I am. I didn't start off that way but she stays with my parents during the day (we live close) and my dad started letting her sit with in his lazy boy with him. How could I ban her from sitting with me when he did that? Anyway, she sits with me and sleeps with me........or is that I sleep with her as she gets most of the bed? I get confused!! My previous dog wasn't allowed on the furniture and never got on it when we were home but I came home early one day and there she was, asleep on the sofa!! She was with us for 16 years and I'm sure she took her choice of seats when we weren't home. Anyway, my solution was to get leather furniture this go around and I have a blanket covering the bed to catch any dirt and/or hair that gets left on there. Sometimes you just gotta love them and let it go!! LOL
