As I am reading this thread my dog (Avatar) is curled up on our couch with her nose in my hubby's lap. She has 2/3 of the couch--he gets the rest. I feel alone in my recliner! LOL.
Looks sort of like my queen sized bed with a chocolate lab, white shepherd, and big marmalade cat stretched out so hubby and I end up sleeping curled up in the fetal position.
Too bad. I guess you will just have to find someplace else to rest. My husband and I have often said that we'd like to live a "dog's life". We do love our dogs.
