Draco!





We used to have a problem with Draco jumping on the couch while we were away from home.  I think this is mostly for two reasons:  1.  He didn't have a soft comfy bed of his own were he could relax and 2.  When we first got him, we may have let him up on the couch once to see how it was.

As you all know, Draco is really hairy and sheds enough hair to make me think he could be Bigfoot, who I image has to be the hairiest beast of all time.  Anyways, we let Draco on the couch ONE TIME and immediately decided it was a bad idea and we would never do it again.  And then we paid for it big time!  Every time we would come home he would be on the couch.  We would holler at him and make him get down.  But he kept doing it. He got clever (so he thought) and started to jump off the couch when he heard us coming. Unfortunately for him, the warm spot and hair he left behind gave him away every time!  We had no other choice but to block the couch every time we left home, which was a pain but at least it kept our couch free of dog hair.  

This sounds sad, but fortunately for us Draco is older now and his legs aren't what they used to be.  He can no longer jump on the couch! Also, now he has a really ultra plush bed to sleep and lounge on. It was custom made by Heather and Draco loves it.

 

We were getting ready to change the sheets on our bed the other day and in a moment for silliness  we put Draco on the bed.  We figured, he could never get on the bed himself, so we wouldn't ever have to worry about the problem like we had with the couch. Surprise surprise, he LOVED it!!





When Tim reached to lift him off the bed, Draco stood up faster than we've seen him move in a long time and ran to the opposite side of the bed. Tim walked over to the other side of the bed and again Draco sped over to the other side! We couldn't stop laughing! It was very clear Draco really liked being up there and was not interested in coming back down.  

That's all for now folks!
