My dog is kind of an asshole

[Deleted]

It doesn't matter what time of year or whether the heat needs to be on in the house, if we are home, the dog is not happy unless this is happening:



No lying in the sun on the outside step/patio, no lying on the kitchen rug with the door closed.  Nope.  So we have to turn off the furnace and put on more clothes so that he will STFU and leave us alone.  Jerk.

Lol!

Our dog rotates her napping spots based on the sun. I have caught her sleeping in pile of clean laundry on top of the kitchen table, nestled into all 3 of h's pillows, etc. And, she weighs 40 lbs, so it's not like the table is an appropriate place to nap.

lol, that's hilarious.

Neither of my two are that bad, but Doggie D likes to position himself in the dead center of the work area of the kitchen when we're making dinner so it's almost impossible not to trip on him.

Puppy D's crate is still in the kitchen (under the table), so she lays in that. It is a blissful change.

I'm amazed by those people who say they are able to train their dogs to stay out of the kitchen. I'm not sure I could ever make that happen. Definitely not with this spoiled thing. Someday we'll have a kitchen door, and I can lock him out (though he'd probably claw at the door). I'm so jealous of your gates susie.

sjh-Noodle does move with the sun to the foyer in the afternoons. So I'm allowed to close the kitchen door after about noonish. DH would have a stroke if he caught our beast on the table. I'm not even allowed to put a glass on it without a coaster.

Haha, aw!  

My dog, Zeke, loves to lay in front of the space heater.  So whenever I'm freezing and want that sucker on to warm my feet, forget about it because he will block all of the heat with his 65 pound body.  It's so adorable though.

lol, he has no idea how good he has it. send him over to me in the land of cloudy days and maybe he'll shape up.

I don't have a dog, but my cat must be an asshole too. We have an entire house of hardwood floors. She vomited on the area rug in the baby's room.

[TwinsMomma]

could you maybe get a clear storm door so the light can come in and you aren't freezing?

[Deleted]

Oh no emo. Definitely an asshole. Why do they do that? Noodle tossed his cookies on our living room rug about a week after we got it.

TwinsMomma, that's very smart. I bet a storm door would be insulating too when both are closed. Now to find the time/money. And I have a sneaking suspicion I'd be up and down opening that all the time too because his highness expects to be able to wander outside occasionally to bark at squirrels and patrol the yard. But at least I could keep the heat on.

[emoflamingo]

Yeah, she is a mondo jerk. I can't decide if it was good or bad that it was mostly stomach acid. I guess I can at least myself by saying at least she's still around to barf on your floor. (Kidney failure, so far controlled by diet.)

[bunnymendelbaum]

This made me lol.

Funny too because me from 5 years ago would have thought, oh close the door and stop babying your dog! But in those 5 years I've heated up gross cat food on the stove and fed my car through a feeding tube. So yeah.

I am way too lazy to deal with the shit-fit he puts up when he's unhappy. Saddest of sad eyes, pawing at us, demand barking, straight up crying, scratching at the door. A sweatshirt is much easier. Good thing I'm not charged with a human child; it would never be fit for society.
