I've relented.

I've let the big, slobbery, smelly and gorgeous 4 legged thing that we call a dog get up on the settee with me.

He's settled down with a HUGE contented with his head on my lap and I've spent the last half hour stroking his silken ears.

DH thinks I'm a soft touch, I think DH is jealous!

AIBU??

Ps....said Lord of the house is a Labrador

And he's so content he is barking and running in his sleep 😍

I can't move, so I've asked DH to bring me more wine!

YABU super unreasonable not to give us a photo

StillMedusa · 09/10/2020 23:47

Isn't that where a dog is supposed to be?! Mine jumps up behind me on the sofa and presses herself into my back while I'm practising my guitar... keeps me nice and warm and doesn't annoy me like Dh does Grin

YANBU at all. I'm cuddled up in bed with my greyhound. Love it (and him Smile)

Lockheart · 09/10/2020 23:50

Oh how lovely. I miss my boys, they're with my parents in the country. Also labradors!

Mine are not allowed on the sofa - as a rule. Once one of them had been in the vets for a while as he was very unwell. When he came back I also relented and let him cuddle up to me on the sofa. He'd had a hard time of it.

And of course should anything frighten our fierce and brave guard dogs are up on our laps like lightning.

YABVU as now I want a dog cuddle.

Nottobesoldseparately · 09/10/2020 23:53

I'll try and post a pic of him.
He's truly gorgeous.

And he's not supposed to go on the furniture either, but sometimes he's just to lovely not to let him.

YABVU, why has it taken you this long?

Lockheart · 09/10/2020 23:57

You're all so unfair. My first dog was a gold lab, now we have black ones.

I feel a visit home may be needed imminently. Ostensibly to see my parents, of course Wink

JadeSilverBlue · 09/10/2020 23:58

Okay, I change my opinion to you are definitely NOT being unreasonable, now we have that photo Grin what a gorgeous dog!!

Lockheart · 09/10/2020 23:58

@Nottobesoldseparately it's showing for me. He's beautiful!

AriettyHomily · 09/10/2020 23:58

It's a slippery slope to your bed....

SheilaWilcox · 09/10/2020 23:59

I'm sorry, you have a case of canine paralysis. You will now be unable to move until the dog decides you're allowed.
Best illness in the world :)

Nottobesoldseparately · 10/10/2020 00:07

Some more seeing as you all like him 😊

The cone is due to a recent op to fix his eye.
Nothing to worry about, he's all better now.

Aw he's gorgeous! There's no point having dogs unless you get all the lovely cuddles!

Our Jack Russel shares our bed, I really don't care what anyone thinks about that, she's fab at keeping my feet warm!

Oh I miss having a dog. Loved the one we had growing up. I do however have a cat lying on my chest in bed (he's not really supposed to be in the bedroom but he's so lovely). My husband will put him out later but I'm enjoying some quiet cuddle time.

mrsmrt1981 · 10/10/2020 00:21

Ha, our dog practically lives in the sofa. Her dog bed is used only by the cat! Enjoy your pup x

onetwothreeadventure · 10/10/2020 00:31

He’s gorgeous!

I invite my mums dog (I would say childhood pet but I’m too old) to join me in bed when I’m visiting. My DM thinks I’m a a soft touch but I’d kick out my DH for the pup cuddles 😂

Marshmallow91 · 10/10/2020 05:09

If I asked my boy to lie on the floor he'd look at me as if I'd lost my mind 😅

There's no point in a sofa or bed if you can't have cuddles on them in my opinion!
