Oh no no no! Sounds familiar. :p
I have six, also, but only two are Scotties. I also have a Westie, a Papillon and two Pomies! And yes, they do rule the household, just as it should be.
Our Rasmus went directly to number 9 and then he has stayed there.That’s because he is so friendly, and always want to be close to us!
Whew… we have managed to hold Piper to Nr.5 sofar. I wouldn’t mind her coming up on the foot of the bed, but She Who Must Be Obeyed has vetoed that.
oh yes……we went straight to number 9, too. our dogs take up 3/4 of the bed because, of course, they have to lay sideways..and often times on their back (mostly fiona) which means that i often times wake up to having a back paw in my face. but i would NOT change anything for the world. duhgall and fiona bring us immense JOY and they realllllly aren’t dogs…they are people inside a furry body with 4-inch legs.
xxoo
