We are big softies, all of ours sleep in the bedroom every night, and the youngest often on the bed for quite a lot of the night.
Mine have free run of the whole bungalow - except the bathroom - they have many beds scattered about the place and know they are never allowed on ANY furniture, ANYwhere at a ANY time.We are big softies, all of ours sleep in the bedroom every night, and the youngest often on the bed for quite a lot of the night.
At the mo, since she still has stitches in, I have to carry her up and down stairs and we make sure she sleeps on the bed so we can tell if she is trying to chew at her stitches. fortunately the vet has put a big bandage over the incision and this really seems to work. It worked very well when we had the other do done too.
I don't get into their beds so they don't get in/on mine.
I think your dogs are prolly a ton bigger than ours. Ours weigh about 16 kgs max.Mine have free run of the whole bungalow - except the bathroom - they have many beds scattered about the place and know they are never allowed on ANY furniture, ANYwhere at a ANY time.
As you say, it is whatever you want and works best for you. I just cannot have a 22kg, long haired, mud-caked Beardie on my furniture (or me) no matter how easy it is to clean!I think your dogs are prolly a ton bigger than ours. Ours weigh about 16 kgs max.
We have leather armchairs and sofas, so easy to keep clean.
And we love cuddling our dogs so we welcome them onto our laps, but they don't just jump up, usually, they ask first!
We too have beds all over the place and they sometimes sleep on them but often they just lie where they want. In the heat over here, they prefer the cool of the tiled floor.
I think everyone has different relationships with their dogs. No "right" no "wrong" just different.
At night I had been known to get up and put her there so peace and calm was restored for the animal.
They are funny things aren't they?!As you say, it is whatever you want and works best for you. I just cannot have a 22kg, long haired, mud-caked Beardie on my furniture (or me) no matter how easy it is to clean!
All cuddles are asked for and I go down to their level to administer such.
One of my previous B's, a bitch, used to race into the shower room at the other end of the bungalow and try to hide behind the loo!!!! She always felt safe if her head was hidden.
The 'dogs' are very different in the way they cope. The older one spends most of his waking hours (9am to 10.30pm) outside, regardless of the weather, the heavier the rain the deeper he digs his 'bolt' hole which is under the hedges. The younger one spends far more time in with me. Fortunately my floors are either tiled or laminate so my wool carpets are not what they choose.
An interesting fact for every Beardie I have had is that they all felt safe in their mobile kennel! They do not mind if it is moving or stationary, day or night. One bitch was so bad with thunder and lightning I had to sedate her UNLESS she was in the mobile kennel.
Ooops! I can see a visit to the chiroprack coming on!... that perhaps I have damaged myself with all the scaffold-tower climbing, painting etc. etc.
My neck is very sore & stiff and makes a gristly grinding noise as I turn my head left/right. My shoulders too are sore and my back feels like it is going to go into "spasm" at any moment.
Feck! Feck! Feck!
I have far too much to do for this sort of nonsense to be happening.

Hey @Glasgie !Guid afternoon
Busy morning , washing done and hung oot
5 mile river walk and collected more brambles, got 10 jars produced yesterday, so should get another 10 jars from today's haul.
I did 2 lucky dips on the lottery yesterday and got on the first line a free lucky dip, on the second row I got 4 numbers and £140.00
Excellent, the most I have ever won, good timing as wife's car is in for an aircon recharge tomorrow and should be enough left over for
a bottle of Isle of Jura as finished the last one last night.
Just had black pudding/egg roll for lunch, will let it settle and hit the gym later.

Wifey is in agreement with you @derwendolly she thinks I should pack it all in and pay some youngster to do it.
I agree with her (for once!) you need to start chilling and taking this retirement malarkey seriously!
. How much did the boxes themselves weigh in at?
I didn't check but they are thin cheapo ones. The big one will get weighed tomorrow and that I expect to be around 150 kgs as it is 49 empty.Is that all? would of expected more

..
I have worked out I need 1600 kgs payload for the three machines and the rest of the workshop that is going on the trailer. I have already taken a load to my parents place and will need to take another before the move!When we moved here we drove over 2 trailers 1 small box with the RR. then a bigger box with the pickup. All boxes were weighed and written on so they could be distributed and heavy 1s on the bottom, Also had to try and offset a 500lb bike
Yep we didnt bring much
