I left the house at nine thirty and returned at ten fifty. I left Webster on the dog bed in front of the French door to the balcony and when I returned he was on the new dog bed below the front window. I didn't have a barricade in place either. I think he knows the drill already! He's such a good dog and I'm so proud of him.<br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-7929151701808817822014-07-16T09:04:49.199-04:002014-07-16T09:04:49.199-04:00Webster knows he is loved and he is such the '...Webster knows he is loved and he is such the 'good boy.' I expect he simply is adjusting to the changes and positioning himself so as to figure out "is this okay?" "Is that okay?" As long as you are near and giving him praise, Webster will thrive. My goodness, oatmeal for breakfast! So fine. Is he not the luckiest dog ever. <br />When you wake up, do you run out to immediately admire the new furniture? Celebrate. <br />Linda<br />ps Sure wish I could discover a product to resolve both human and doggie oil deposits which is both gentle and effective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-19039876351811961502014-07-16T08:56:27.780-04:002014-07-16T08:56:27.780-04:00You're not mean and I think Webster knows that...You're not mean and I think Webster knows that.

He's completely bald, by choice, and when he reads in their nice wing chairs he leaves oil stains on the back where he rests his head. <br /><br />You aren't being mean, hopefully the animals will adjust quickly to the new furniture and rules. Even with the old sofas your living room was beautiful, I continue to be so happy for you that you got these lovely new furnishings. <br /><br />I'm a bit envious of your rain, it keeps threatening here and then passes us by which means I will have to water early in the morning before I catch a flight West tomorrow. <br /><br />We all know the Wonder Dog is such a sweetie and I know he adores you so I'm sure he'll do his best.<br /><br />The Queen Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073356255364772381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-21287571927042859032014-07-15T22:51:26.278-04:002014-07-15T22:51:26.278-04:00I love your living room - it's so cozy and war...I love your living room - it's so cozy and warm and the new sofas are lovely. I totally understand the pet body oils thing. My parents have a big Labrador and my mom ended up putting baskets along the sofa so he wouldn't rub up against it and get it full of hair and body oil. Our dog and cats sleep on the bed but I wash that quilt A LOT! They also have their own beds.Dianahttps://www.flickr.com/photos/naturegrl64/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-7767579826624445632014-07-15T20:42:09.768-04:002014-07-15T20:42:09.768-04:00Good for you, Rosemary.

Our living room sofa and club chair still have some oil stains from our first Scottish Terrier over 20 years ago. You have a lovely home, and I don't blame you for wanting to keep it looking pretty. :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2014/07/im-sorry-i-havent-been-visting-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-54464527489888145892014-07-15T20:39:53.973-04:002014-07-15T20:39:53.973-04:00Stay the course.

They won't be cleaning up after themselves, nor paying for new furniture. Living in your cozy cottage could hardly be a burden for them, so your rules are well within reason.<br />I have in-laws who had no patience for training their dogs. Various dogs over the years have been allowed to relieve themselves wherever they want. Believe me, it is not pleasant to be a guest in their house. The fact that the dogs own the furniture is actually the least of it. Dog hair on your clothes is a given.<br />I'm sure your guests will always appreciate a clean, pleasant smelling place to sit.
