| Fleur just waiting till I let go to jump off the sofa! |
So next I tried to get Power to get up there. He got wild eyed and went berserk! He acted like he was being tortured!
 |
| Power, very reluctantly lying on the sofa for a few seconds! |
 |
| Fleur stayed about 3 minutes I did manage to get Power up onto the sofa, now he's content. |

| Power showing that he has "sofability" |
Fleur is too well trained for too many years, but Power is still trainable. Gotta love a guy that's trainable! LOL.
ReplyDeleteKatie has always had sofability - I think you coined a new word. :)
I think Fleur will get jealous and want on the sofa any day now!
DeletePolly won't get on my large armchairs in here, but she will now get on the bed.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Power flat out. Doubt you'll keep him off now:)
I am hoping he will learn to "roach" as he gets more accustomed to the sofa. I really like to see photos of other greyhounds "roaching".
DeleteI am not one to have my dogs on the sofa, but Emma sneaks up on it to sleep at night after I go to bed. She probably thinks I don't know she does this. :)
ReplyDeleteI think we have to have those elements of sneakiness in our lives to keep it interesting.
DeleteOur first Greyhound, Paloma, was a couch dog. We didn't encourage it when we got Freedom and Casper and like Power and Fleur, they've never been interested. Good thing because now with three, hubby and I would be sitting on the floor and our bones are too old for that (ha). I think Fleur and Power will adapt to being couch potatoes soon. At least it looks like Power will.
ReplyDeleteAfter years of being told not to get on the sofa, they were pretty sure they were being framed! :)
ReplyDeleteHa-ha-ha!!!! I think you're right!
DeleteMiss Hazel, you need to get a Kong and put a little peanut butter in it, then give to them while they're on the couch. Nine out ten Greyhounds think this is a fabulous idea and the tenth one is an impostor! Seriously, though, a lot of hounds need a little time to decide that the couch is a good idea, but then we take it over for good. Couches make great thrones!

Dawh-ling Bunny,
DeleteThank you so much for the special secret(kong and peanut butter).
I'll let you know how it goes!
Power has it mastered. LOL You may regret this. There are times when I don't have a place to sit and we have two sofas. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of Joey and Scout on your sofas are a big part of the inspiration to let my babes onto the sofa!
DeleteSo funny Hazel, I had to laugh most people are trying to keep the OFF the sofa and you are trying the reverse. I enjoyed your story and you know if you get a Great Dane you would get hundreds of photos as they are huge couch potatoes.
ReplyDeleteFor many years I did keep them off the sofa, but now have realized that I would like to have the expense of dog beds cut out of my budget. Dog beds don't hold up more than a couple months, no matter where I buy them or how much they cost. So when there are no dog beds all over the floor, I will have more room to walk in the motorhome.
DeleteBeryl doesn't get on the couches much, she much prefers my super king sized bed ... leaving very little room for me and Frankie! She doesn't roach much either. Frankie is more of a Greyhound than she is, he loves the couches and does a very relaxed roach :) Maybe they were swapped at birth? Glad Power is getting the hang of it and I bet Fleur won't want to miss out on the fun and soon we'll be seeing photos of them both on the couch at the same time. Then where are you going to sit?
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of letting the dogs onto my bed. I have a queen size in the motorhome. I think I would feel crowded with the cat and two greyhounds.
DeleteTell Beryl to keep up the good work!
