    These are all going to be precious memories when Reuben crosses the Rainbow Bridge. Our bulldogs Mugzee and Hank ruled our roost and demanded their ways. That's what makes me smile when I think back to those days.

      My Gertie does the same thing, except with the bed. I gladly let her have the bed while watching TV and sit in the chair and after maybe 5 minutes, she whining for me to sit with her. She then gives me just the very edge of the bed. Yep, she rules my house.

    My English Bulldog, Sir Ozzie Shortstuf (named after Ozzie Smith, St. Louis Cardinal Shortstop) got me to let him sleep at the foot of our bed. Then he wanted to go outside to use the restroom, only to have me come in an lay on the couch so he could get back on the bed and take my spot. He was just rotten, but he lived him. He lived for 10 1/2 years, which is pretty good for a bulldog. But we loved him! It's been 20 years, and we have not gotten another dog. He was the best!!

    Way back in 1998, we bought a big newly constructed home, in Westerville OH… whilst doing all the interior decorating and exterior landscaping, my SO wanted a fence installed in our backyard… soon thereafter, she brought home two boy pups of unknown heritage - turns out they were GSD and Husky mix… the fence was followed by the finished walkout basement,
    so that they could enter the home from their yard, via the basement (to reduce the cleaning required upstairs),
    seemingly also necessitated another addition to our pack, as we soon added a female Bassett Hound puppy… whilst we worked, the 3 of them were visited daily by a pet sitter, as well as walked every morning and evening by yours truly…
    Soon they had their own professional portraits updated yearly, etc…. My neighbor, having two pugs, would lift his pugs over the 4’fence and they’d play w/ our pack every day… the neighbors would exclaim (after we’d consumed a numbers of beers, “when I die, I’ll want to come back reincarnated as one of your dogs…” in the ensuing 27 yrs, not much has changed as we’ve said goodbye to them and after a bit of time, we’d go and adopt a new pack… such is our life to be blessed by our companions ❤🙏🥲

    I think you may have forgotten 1 thing for the king. Treats!! LOL! Here is one for you both. I had a Newfoundland. He would not walk on anything unless it was grass, carpet or cement. Area rugs took over the house. But the best part of the story is as he aged, he did not want to come in the back door. Nor do steps. So...my husband (prior to retiring) worked as a 9-1-1 dispatcher in the city we lived in. Every night he worked he would have to send an officer to the house to lift the Newfoundland onto the front porch (who I had walked around from the backyard) so he could come inside. He soon had a favorite officer and would go greet him when the patrol car pulled up. 160# lifted. The officer got a kick out of it!

When my Alfie falls asleep on my lap, covered by his favorite blankie, I am not allowed to move my legs at all until his majesty decides naptime is over. Otherwise, I get barked and screamed at.

    Once your dog gets a glimpse of the control they can have over you, it is then expected that you comply. Your life will never be the same. You can never change that behavior. It's a natural law.

    I had 2 Great Danes, and every evening at dinner I put their oversized plates on the dining room table fastened with extra strong Velcro , so no slippage.

    Boy did I love my little chi chi it was just him and me. He had a nice bed in every room for daytime his own closet. He fit perfect in a tote bag so he went everywhere I went. He went to church with me mornings and nights. He was such a good boy he was quiet and sat in my lap never getting down. He lived 20 years. His vet said he lived long because of how I took care of him. Prescription food and canned low salt string beans for treats. I had him cremated and he is in a basket in a pretty lil pearl coffin. It’s been 7 years and I still miss him terribly. Ruben I’ve watched you these years and I love that you are so loved and well taken care of. I still feel him laying by my leg at night he loved his heated throw. That’s a chi chi

    Accommodation is an integral part of labour law, and, thus, K9 law. To avoid issues, grievances, etc., it is best to accommodate. Next, you can put a hole in your floor, at this location, and place a carpeted, reinforced box inside that hole, sufficient in size to accommodate another armchair, for improved ergonomics, such as to place Michael Melnotte at the appropriate height to service Reuben as required. On the basement side, you can put some flashing lights, so nobody bumps into the bump. If that basement bump is above the furnace, it will have to be moved. It's the least you can do.

    My dog's 12 yo, so i have to feed him on my bed or the couch after moving his food around several times. Then I have to break his food into small pieces so he can turn his nose up at it. As soon as I put the chicken in the floor, the cat 🐈 walks to it, and the dog jumps down to chase him away. He's worth every second of frustration ❤❤❤❤❤

    Having a 70lb+ Conti Bulldog (Marcus) who snores louder than I do, loves to bark when it's time to eat and for treats. He loves being a lap dog taking up half of the sofa and the bed and knows he has me wrapped around his paw, but I would not have it any other way. I think he has already sent Santa his wish list for this year wanting some new bones, a larger pet bed, and an unlimited supply of treats. Yes, what we do for our pets may seem ridiculous to some, but our pets bring us so much joy and a little frustration at times, but they are worth it.

    So wonderful to hear Carol's laughter.💐 Mine used to take up the whole bed and I was almost squeezed out and close to falling to the floor. Wooden floor boards so I would layer the floor with thick blankets and bean bags incase they felt they needed overnight to step down or accidentally roll over from the bed to the floor.
    Not that it ever happened but just incase. I would feed them before I fed myself, before I washed my face, before I went to the bathroom...lol! 🤭😉I would have them back all over again. So beautiful to see Roo being treated as Royalty👑❤️ because that's what he deserves. Have a lovely weekend Melnottes 🐾👑🐶💋💋💋💋💙❤️💜🧡🎄💐🐨💖

    Life is all about spoiling, care and comfort for our pets, especially dogs! I spent more money on my dogs than I have my own human family. Dogs are my family and I chose to make sacrifices for the health, safety and comfort of my dogs. Animals give us so much more than we could ever give to them in their short lives. While on this earth, they all deserve to be well cared for. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
