We have one hard and fast rule in our house–No dogs on the furniture!
Unfortunately, Ruby is unmoved by hard and fast rules!

Looking good Ruby! Be Blessed, Mtetar
I chuckled as we have the same rule. Yet when our dog was having an off day, my husband was encouraging her to get on the couch!
My husband was shocked that my first reaction was to get the camera and take a picture and not to shoo her off!
I’ve always thought that it is a universal dog rule that hard and fast furniture rules are to be broken whenever the occasion arises!
LOL! I can’t tell you how many times I have heard the dogs feel hit the ground when they hear me coming…and just as often, they don’t even bother to get down until I bribe them off with a treat! Who’s trained?
But they are so sweet when they are sleeping.
We had that rule and mostly enforced it until we got our deaf rescue Abby… she didn’t know those rules… lol
Was she really deaf–or just selectively?
Ya, really deaf and the other dogs learned the selectively part from watching her…
They are clever little beasts aren’t they?
I pick my battles and have given up on that one—but appreciate and applaud those of you who are able to manage it. Lots of love to the dogs in our life!
Obviously, we are not managing it either!
We never see our dog on the sofa – she knows that she is not allowed on the furniture. She is so well-behaved. However we have noticed on occasions that the cushions are warm to touch when we have been out of the room for a while. She is not well-behaved – just fast!
That’s hilarious. Our dog Roxie is fast too!
