Lounging on the Couch

Where Wen used to live, Kirby, Sunny, and Frosty spent a lot of time lounging on the couch.  The blanket on top of the couch cushions was a permanent fixture, so they could jump up and settle on the couch whenever they wanted to.

Things changed when they moved to our present house.  The living room furniture was brand new and Wen decided that the couch and love seat were “no Scottie zones.”  That only lasted a few weeks though, because the Scotties were used to lounging on the furniture and Wen grew tired of constantly chasing them off.  She went out and bought quilted couch protectors and as soon as they were installed, all three Scotties staked their claims on the furniture that had been off-limits.  (Score one for the Scotties!)

By the time that I arrived in town, the couch and love seat were constantly dog-occupied and as soon as I grew big enough, I tried to jump up on the couch what seemed as though a million times, until I eventually made it up there to join the others.

It was a proud day for me when I finally sat on the couch next to the big dogs (much to their dismay) and I have to admit that I haven’t missed a day of lounging on the couch ever since.  After all, it is my favorite spot in the house.
