I'm sorry I haven't written to you for a while. Mom was hogging laptop. She claimed she had work to do, but how can it be work when she sits in a recliner looking at laptop all day?
Now that I have my turn again, I want to tell you another story about Faulkner, The Original Dog.
Can you believe there was a time when Mom thought that doggies shouldn't sit or take naps on the furniture? She actually thought doggies should spend their time on the floor. I guess she was kind of crazy then.
When The Original Dog came to live with Mom, she said, No furniture. But then she noticed when she came home and Faulkner greeted her, he was leaving the love seat in the family room. Before long, he headed for the love seat before she could even get out the door. He'd hop up to take a little nap while she was gone.
She knew the love seat was real comfortable, so she decided that doggies really do belong on the furniture.

Boy, I'm sure glad Mom figured out where doggies belong. I like to sit right next to her while she taps away on laptop.
Thanks for visiting me, Every Buddy! I missed you! I love you!

Aww, Franklin, I just want to give you a scratch behind those ears---while we're sitting on a comfy sofa, of course. Hey guess what, since we last talked, I've gotten a new bunny! It's a girl named Gamgee. Gamgelina for long. Then Lina for short. What do you think of that choice for a furry friend?
ReplyDeleteHi! Hi, Miss Nicki! Uh, I'm not too sure about a bunny for a friend. Does she warn you when strangers are outside? Does she cuddle in bed at night? Does she keep you company while you work? If she doesn't do that stuff, then I think you need a doggie.
DeleteWhatever was Janie thinking? Everybody knows a pet belongs on the furniture. My hubby was even worse. At one time, he was under the misconception that a dog belonged in the back yard! Perish THAT thought! Sheesh. Dogs and cats are members of the family.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your husband must be really strange, Mrs. Swo, Sow, Swoderersky. Mom is reading a book you wrote. She says it's great, even better than chocolate cake.
DeleteFranklin, I just LOVE your posts. If you came to visit, you could sleep with me--I'm sure my husband wouldn't mind using the guest room!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Ducky. I love cuddling. I'll ask Mom if I can visit you.
DeleteFranklin,
ReplyDeleteIs there a doggy day bed at your house? That's what my dog cousins have used. I have no idea what they cost.

Every piece of furniture in our house is a doggie day bed. HA! That's because we like to nap during the day when we aren't yelling at people who walk down our street.
DeleteThanks for checking in with us, Franklin. I hope you're taking good care of Momma. Try not to shed too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm hardly shedding at all now. I went to see Candace at the booty shop.
DeleteYeah, Franklin. My two big dogs (both over 90 lbs each) loved the couch. But now they are too old and have arthritis and can't climb up there anymore. So enjoy the comfort while you can.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your doggies getting old, Mr. Pot.
DeleteHa...we tease Eddie all the time about how he's not allowed on the furniture. Of course, he rules the furniture...
ReplyDelete-andi
That's good, Mrs. Myoo.
DeleteWell Franklin ole buddy, you sure enjoy the comforts of home alright! And aren't you lucky to have a Mom who realized that dogs need comfort just like humans!
ReplyDeleteMy dog Sophie, who would LOVE you Franklin, has her own coach!! YES, her own and she allows us, her Daddies, to use it in the evenings!!!
Sophie sure is nice to you two. I'm nice to my mom.
DeleteHmm, Franklin, I'm not sure I'll let Samson and Soldier read this. Just Kidding, they get on the furniture too and have actually ruined two love seats. I know you are such a good doggie, you wouldn't ever ruin anything. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteMom puts blankets on the furniture so she doesn't get it dirty. She knows we like everything clean.
DeleteEverybody looks so comfy! Schultz wishes he could come to your place. Mommy doesn't let him on the furniture, because she's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI feel very sorry for Schultz, not getting to use the furniture and having a crazy mom.
DeleteFranklin! I've missed you! I agree that sweet doggies should get furniture use. When I was in school and was a vet tech, we had a client with a half grown deer. The deer slept inside the house, in the bed with the lady. So if a deer gets furniture use, so should dogs.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Mom could get us a deer to love.
DeleteGood to see a post from you Franklin. Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs. Beth!
DeleteCarol Kilgore said I would love it...and I do. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting us! We love new friends.
DeleteLOL! Glad mom got over her crazy ideas!! Well, one of them, at least. ;)
ReplyDeleteMom has lots of crazy ideas, Miss Rita. : (
Deleteoh, Franklin! What was your mommy thinking? My dog has the best seat in the house. No one can say no to those eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteMom didn't think clearly for a long time after Favorite Young Man was borned. Us dogs got her straightened out.
DeleteLol Franklin, mummy was crazy back then. Isn't Faulkner handsome though, not that you're not, but you know that goes without saying. Tell mummy I'm thrilled to have stumbled Across her blog xx
DeleteWe're glad you stopped by to meet us, Scarlett. We hope you come back again soon.
DeleteDoggies don't like this house the man of the house don't like them in the house let alone on the furniture..........me I didn't care if they slept on the lounge and hell when my girls were little and we had "Dot Dot" she slept in the bed with youngest daughter and "Dylan" she slept in the bed with oldest daughter
ReplyDeleteGosh, your man of the house doesn't understand how important doggies are.
DeleteIf you want the best seat in the house, see where the dog is sitting.
ReplyDeleteUs dogs know the bestest spots.
DeleteFranklin, I was thinking about this very topic today as Mr. Chewey was sleeping on my bed. It was so hot he slept most of the day away and refused to move even when I needed to make it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Mr. Chewey stayed cool and comfortable in the house. Some peoples are so dumb they make their cats and dogs stay outside in terrible weather.
