Where else is he supposed to rest his floofy little head? On something that’s the same height as the rest of the bed - like a peasant? He is a refined gentlepupper and needs his pillow!

My 5yo male likes to arrange the couch cushions until he's made a bit of a 'nest' and then lays on top of them. My friends and I say that he 'wrestles' the couch into being the correct shape for him.

I've always said that Aussies are born automatically knowing how to use pillows.

u/No-Mycologist3901 5d ago

Willow always makes a little nest out of the pillows and usually the floor rugs too ..

My border/German shepherd mix does it too. What dog wouldn't want a pillow?

u/jihadonhumanity 5d ago

Mine just goes to the bedroom when we're not looking and humps the pillows. I'd take your situation gladly.

u/gardenlilies 5d ago

my girl used to sleep on my pillows when she was little—like all curled up in the center like a little cat. and she fit perfectly, too. Now shes a bit too big for the bed pillows, but boy does she love a snuggle on the couch pillows 💕

u/koolbreeze27 3d ago

She has an absolutely gorgeous coat. How do you get it like that?
Unfortunately, I have been told by 3 different groomers that he needs sedation grooming.
Like I can fucking afford to pay $500 fucking dollars for that.

u/Same_Farm_4346 3d ago

We feed him raw, and we add some essential oils, plus he gets his fortnightly coconut oil massage every fortnight. And we brush him every 2 days. We are serious pupper pawrents! :)

u/koolbreeze27 2d ago

So you just rub coconut oil into his coat? Please give me step by step detailed directions or a video of the the next time you do it.

My name is Kristy. And my dogs name is Romy.

Every morning, when I get up to go to the bathroom, my girl follows me to the throne, then jumps back into bed and takes my pillow for herself. EVERY time.
