All love from the dogs

Laying here on floor with our domestic wolf pack. Golden retriever and Newfie and chocolate lab. My wife says they need to lay with the pack leader , I smiled at her saying this only reason I said is because I had cheese and crackers earlier ok man share. I tossed a blanket on the golden as he and I share a pillow. the chocolate land shark is laying on his back snoring letting it all hang out. And the Newfie is cuddled between the golden and me with his big head on my hip. I just love these boys the dogs there love and family.

and the fireplace (that she loves). While I have a great and very comfortable sleep sofa, I just used the roll-up "mattress" from the hall closet and lots of down comforters--really cozy--but even more so with my furry girl in the middle.

She loved it so much I haven't had the heart to move back upstairs! LOL

My two 6 lb Maltese doggies are on their blankets next to me, eating tiny rawhide sticks.
Fire blazing.

Life is good.

Came to bed to read and the golden was like wait I’m going with you. I told my wife don’t stay up late as the Newfie drifted in like fifteen minutes later. Because room and space is at a premium when these two stretch out I have heard her saying move over to the dogs climbing into bed.

12. I hope you have a king size bed. Those guys are big doggies.

And I think my two 6 lb dogs take up space and are a handful!
And take up too much room on the couch.

My little one, he is really 5 lbs, is a huge personalty and is always in your face.
We used to have a golden, we loved her so much, she was so sweet and good natured.
My 5 lb Maltese takes up more space than she did.

But we all pack it works the chocolate land shark sleeps with the boys. And for awhile we had my brothers yellow lab but he went home and he wanted to sleep with us. So it was a lot of K9 in bed.

company in a small space. Yikes on having only a queen.
But if you got bigger bed, the dogs would still insist on being right next to you.

When our golden was a puppy, she sat on my lap all the time.
Then she got big, she and I weighed the same amount. (I'm small.)
She still tried to get up on my lap and sit down, but I didn't have enough lap and
she would fall off.

As of now I have the golden in my back and the Newfie up against my hips. They need to touch us and No personal space and all three of these guys think they are lap dogs.

My kids bring them every day for me to dog sit--God forbid they should have to stay home alone! (I have been chastised for leaving them alone when I go to town!)

Jack is the boss--he's a 13 year old yellow lab. He tolerates Luna--she's a 6 year old boxer who has forced me to learn not to leave any food on the counter--she'll eat a loaf of bread if it's left out! And then there's Maggie--a 3 year old Golden retriever who is still part puppy, but sassy and smart! All three have loved running and playing in the snow this week!
