The Dog Couch
What? You don't have a dog couch?
This one has been reserved for dogs for the last six years. It is smelly. It is all theirs. I am especially happy because, now that they are elderly dogs, they sleep 90 percent of the day here.
And see that little one on the right? She has become incontinent. She leaves a little puddle wherever she sleeps. That's fine as long as it's on the dog couch.
It usually is because she goes where CG goes. Since he works from home in the office where the dog couch is placed, 95 percent on the time, she sleeps there. The couch is stinky, but contains the accidents.
See that big one on the left? Seb tends to lick "parts" and leave chocolate stains where he sleeps. Gross. Typical male.
Again, okay if he stays on gross dog couch.
Did I mention we went on vacation? I am finding dog butt stains all over my living room couches and dribble puddles by my dining room window. Multiple dribble puddles.
Gawd. Elderly dogs suck big donkey schlong some days.
At least I locked the bedrooms. Our last vacation we came back late at night to find our bed one big pee stain...as well as Li'l Man's bottom bunk.
Still love 'em though.
Note: Many apologies for the blurry pic. The little dribble dog? She hates having her picture taken and skulked off under CGs desk as soon as she saw the camera.

I need a dog couch...mine think the whole house is their's and they do as they please, and sleep where they like!!
Wow, and I thought my dog's submissive urination was a pain. I am so sorry. Can you use doggie diapers? At least when you are gone?
We love our dogs, don't we?? :)
Dawn: Yep, our dogs used to do that too. But we slowly got rid of this dog chair or that dog couch until there was only one left and were firm that the replacements weren't for the dogs. They got the message. Now my daughter sneakily tries to get them to come up on good furniture to "cuddle" while watching tv so I think this is where the vacation behavior is coming from: mixed messages. Sigh.
Posey: They only do this on other couches when we are on vacation. I couldn't keep them in diapers for 5 days. On the good side, it's not intentional. The dribbler is 14+ years old and her liver enzymes are messed up. Indignity in old age for a dog who once held it for 36 hours straight on the Alaskan ferry because she refused to go on the car deck. Poor old girl.
Wendy: Adore them, flaws in all.
