How things change in 2 years!
I usually go to bed an hour or so before Man (my days tend to start earlier and I can't miss my 8 hours of sleep if I am going to function), Phod often races to get up on the bed before I can get in. I often have to move him over so I can get in. He will then lay there while I hold my book in one hand and pet him with the other, and will complain (groan or might even gently paw me) if I am forced to stop petting him to turn a page. He usually lies there until I turn off the light, and then takes his spot either on the floor or one of the two dog beds in our room.
The same is true for TV time on the couch. He has learned his place. We have an L shaped couch. One end is Hailey's, Nin sits on usually my lap and Phod will now get up and snuggle on the couch between the Man and I. He won't stay a whole movie, he will stay for a while before going and stretching out on the floor.
While I think my boy still prefers his sleep on the floor, he is at least enjoying his snuggles with us. I very much enjoy this time with him!

ReplyDeleteWhat delight; snuggles are fab, keeping one's space is also good. Brilliant work Phod! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
We have snuggle time too but then I never move and am a bit of a bed hog but the sofa is safe. Have a tremendous Thursday.

Neither of my boys are snugglers or furniture guys - I have no restriction where they can lay but they have never shown any interest on being on the sofas or beds. They just love the floor - I think it is just so much cooler for them
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo funny cos it sounds just like our house routine only I am phod and momma is you. she goes to bed to read a little before dad does and I always go wif her and lay beside her, BUT I stay in the bed cos I is littler than beautiful phod.

Doggies change as the relationship gets deeper and deeper with their people. And it is a win-win!

It's kinda of funny the way each of us puppers act, Phod complaining about petting, our Shadow does that but she paws at you with her left paw, Bites he just lays there soaking it all up, ME, just sittin on the couch with Mom is my thing!

Miro does that, too! I've never been able to figure out why he'll lie on the bed at night while a read and hop off the second I turn out the light. Dogs make their own rules.
ReplyDeleteaww! that is so great to hear!!!!

Awe! That's so sweet that Phod is getting comfortable enough to snuggle now!! :D
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful Phod enjoys snuggling!
ReplyDeleteI think all the love he gets from you has changed him over years :-)
That's so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteSnuggles are the BEST! I'm so glad Phod has learned that little tidbit of information. There are sooo many dogs that don't get it. He knows how much he is loved!

Dear Phod,
ReplyDeleteSnuggles are good. Being on the bed is better. That is all.
