I need some doggie advice

>But it's amazing how much space a 5 lb cat thinks she requires!

Amen to that! Well, either my cats take up the whole bed or they decide that my queen size bed is too big for them and feel the need to sleep on my face. x(

But they're so stinkin' cute....

That's Rascal in a pic taken last summer. He's just about to turn 3 years old.

He had surgery two weeks ago to fix a fracture in his wrist, and he's not a very happy camper. He's in a splint for 4 weeks, and then restricted activity for at least another 2 weeks after that. Here's a pic of him in his splint...in all his patheticness.

I have a smiliar situation. I have an 8 year old chow and a 1 1/2 year old chow. They don't sleep with us, but on the week-end I have always let the older one in bed to nap with me. Now that the younger one can be trusted to not jump out of bed, I let her nap with me too. I can tell the older one would prefer if it were just the two of us, but I just can't let the little one feel like a second class citizen.

The older dog has had to make some adjustments, as she's not an only "child" anymore! So be it. She does have lots of fun with the new puppy.

I was thinking the same thing. Three Wandering Weiner Dogs sounds like a title for a country song. What a picture.

Hey, I work with a guy who has four cats and four dogs (two boxers and two bull mastifs). He told me a story about how one night his wife was in bed, reading, with the two mastifs and one of the cats on the bed. I had tears rolling down my face as he told about how he TRIED to get into the bed without disturbing anyone (one dog was watching out of the corner of his eye, without lifting his head and both dogs refused to budge an inch). Funny as it was that would be the point where I'd have to push all the animals off.

Poor Rascal:-(
Boxers have that pathetic look down pat. I think the males are the worst.

I don't have any advice for you Laura but we have 2 dogs, and the one Freddie doesn't like to sleep on the bed at all. He sleeps on his doggy bed on the floor he 8yo also. Now Joe he's a dfferent story. Gotta be on the bed all stretched out. Winter time comes he wants to be covered with a blanket. He is such a big baby dog
Not to mention I always think DH is snoring but alas it is always Joe:7

Gayle, (((healing hugs to Rascal)))

fit44 love your avatar too! What a handsome boy! Joe is a mammas boy too.
