Yeah, we had our rules all made up before we even brought little Beau home. He would not be allowed on the furniture or the beds and he definitely would not be a lap dog. YEAH RIGHT!!!!
I can't think of any places the dogs aren't allowed. They are family members....we don't make our skin kids sit/sleep on the floor, so the furkids don't either. We started out trying to enforce the "no furniture" thing, but when the Jack Russell's favorite seat is on the back of the couch looking out the window, how could I make Beau stay off!!?! Beau's favorite thing to do on the couch is to run at it full blast, jump up and spring off it and do a back flip in the air. Nutty dog!!!!
