Dog Humor 7

It is time for another Dog Humor post. To see the previous ones see the list below. All the dog comics are Facebook pictures that are being passed around. The original creator is typically noted on the cartoon.

Dogs Own Our Beds

Today’s post has the them dogs taking over our beds and furniture. When Rollo wants to sit in a specific spot on the sofa, but someone happens to be sitting there, he scratches their legs with his paw so that they know that they need to move over.

My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

      2. A trainer we hired told us not to but after Bronco passed away it ended up being that way anyway. Bronco was so big it was not possible to allow him in the bed for very long, so we let no one sleep in the bed during his time.

      3. 100lbs that is big. Our Leonberger was even bigger though. 140lbs when he was not overweight (then 167lbs). But whether it is 100lbs or 140lbs that is a lot of real estate to lose in your bed. I should add that our Bronco thought so too so he pushed me off the bed with his legs. After he had done that several times we said, no more dogs on the bed.

        1. He is a herding dog and we are his sheep. It is not good that the dog thinks he is on top but it is difficult to avoid with a herding dog. But he does not really think he is charge. He just think it is his job to keep order. He is both submissive and obedient but also want to decide and protect. Once when I was out in the backyard he followed me around and snapped at the back my shoes while jumping from side to side, as if to push me forward across the lawn. Together we got the yardwork done.

          1. Haha awww ☺️ thanks for the explanation about herding dogs, I know they like to keep order. My Shelby is a Rottweiler so more of a guard dog but boy does she have some herding tendencies. She tries to keep everybody in line, even the cats lol and they aren’t having it. But she’s a good girl. Always alert, I have no clue when that dog sleeps sometimes.

        2. Rottweilers are big dogs and good guard dogs. Our Leonberger was not a guard dog but his size combined with his desire to run up and greet everyone accidentally made him a good guard dog.

    1. Ha ha, I can imagine. Right now we only have one dog, Rollo, but he decides who is allowed to sit in our beige sofa. If he doesn’t think you are part of his pack you cannot sit in the beige sofa. Thank you and light and blessings your way too.

  13. Such true to life cartoons! Our cats and dogs always claimed the best spots on the bed and furniture. They’d also trick us by indicating they needed to go out, then when we’d get up to open the door they would run back and jump up on the couch. haha 🙂

    1. Ha ha that is funny. It is very difficult to prevent them from taking over beds and sofas. However, when Bronco was alive we had to. He was just too big for our bed and it is not fair to let some dogs up and not others. We let them up on our sofas but not our bed when he was still alive. After he passed that system fell apart.

  16. We recently got a new mattress. While we were waiting to dispose of the old one, we left it on its side. The furball had a field day. Not only did he have a new scratching post, he had a new bed that didn’t involve chasing human feet. It was a sad day when that mattress went away.

  18. The chair one was definitely a cat I had for many years. He decided a sofa was his and got visibly irritated if you even sat on the floor and leaned against it. He would push my father’s head off his pillows, too. But we love our pets so we don’t mind!

    1. Ha ha. It is the same with our dog Rollo. He owns the beige sofa and he decides who can sit there. I am allowed, my wife and our daughter are allowed, and our sons too if they don’t take up too much room. But other people, not so much. He gets mad if a stranger tries to sit in his sofa.

  19. These are cute! The furniture jokes remind me of when Dennis got diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the hip and we were concerned about him hurting himself getting on and off the furniture and his vet was like, “I think that being on the furniture with you is very important to this dog’s quality of life and you should let him do it for as long as he can.” So we set him up ways to get onto the sofa without jumping much and I even took the legs off our bed and lowered it down to the floor to make things easier for him.

    1. Wow that is a remarkable story. You typically hear the opposite from trainers; don’t let them sleep on beds and sit in sofas, they will think they are the alpha. But this veterinarian had another perspective. I am glad you did all this for Dennis to improve his quality of life. Osteosarcoma is such a terrible cancer but so common in dogs.

  23. This is hilarious, Thomas! Did Bronco do that to you? Probably your bed is not big enough for him. My daughter has two kittens and they are on their bed and the grandkids’ beds constantly. Or, they alway are where the people are. I guess they’re people pets, love to be with people.

    1. Yes he did. He was sleeping between us in our bed for a while but he was just too big. He pushed me off the bed with his paws several times. So we ended it. No more dogs of any kind in the bed. Later on Rollo and Daisy slept in the bed and later after Daisy passed just Rollo, but they are smaller dogs. Cats are small too, so I can see how they get used to that.
