Cuddling as a job?

I have always felt guilty about letting my little dog on the sofa for cuddles as the big dog doesn't come on them.

BUT it has just occurred to me that since he is a pug x and pugs are in essence lapdogs, he is simply fulfilling his job description!! Therefore it is not me cuddling him, but the other way around!!

I feel better now and can happily allow the cuddles to continue!!

Anyone else whose lapdog (or bigger dog) is very good at their 'job'?

My Great-niece Abra took her Nan's dog to training classes (Abra was then eight). The first week the handlers had to say what breed their dog was and what its job was. Abra said "My dog is a Bichon Frise and she is a lapdog"!

Seems a valid occupation to me!

That is very cute, I can just imagine her standing there and saying with authority!! I bet no-one argued with her!

My 24kg staffy thinks he's a lapdog?

My lab would love to a lapdog but at 45 kilos he has no chance!! He is also a heavy shedder which doesn't really help!

My 3 weimaraners are lapdogs!

I hope you have a big sofa joto!! I can just imagine you squashed underneath your 3 weims with just a leg or arm sticking out!!

mine were bred for hot water bottles needless to say, they sleep in my bed with me however they were also bred to be eaten i dont think i will try and find out if they fulfil that job

We have a rather large greyhound lapdog here too

Jake wants to be a lapdog when he grows up!
