re: Is your dog allowed on couches/beds?

My dog pretty much has the run of things in the living room and one guest bedroom... He's a pussy, so when it's bad weather he cries until we let him get in bed with us.

Other than that, he may take a nap or something with my wife, but that's about the only time he gets in our bed. Usually he'll lay there for half an hour or so, and then he wants to get up and go explore the rest of the house or go run around outside.

His favorite thing to do is patrol the back yard and lay on the back porch and wait for birds and squirrels to terrorize.
