It's a Dog's Life

We never allow our dogs on the furniture, well never 'used' to allow. In the past year Tucker has developed the habit of putting his front legs on Chris' lap and then resting. The problem is that he starts to fall asleep and his back legs (still) on the floor begin giving out. Then he wakes up. It is really pitiful, so once in a while I lift up his back legs and place him entirely on the couch. It makes him the happiest dog in the world and within seconds he is 'out' on Christine. He will sleep like that as long as we let him.
