What? I'm not alllowed on the couch?

Just a goofy shot I snapped yesterday of our 7 month old boxer/yellow lab puppy, Gunnar. Gunnar is supposed to stay off the furniture (yeah right...that rule really works LOL). She thinks she's part goat actually and will eventually end up perched fully on the back of the couch with her front legs hanging over the couch and her back paws tucked up under her belly. She regularily then falls off but seems to find this lotsa puppy fun! Puppies are goofy! I love her expression..."What???? I'm not allowed up here??? Awww mom!"

cute looking puppy!

Ha, that's too adorable!

Very cute! I had a boxer growing up. They're very sweet dogs.:)

Gunnar looks a lot like a yellow lab except her body build is all boxer. She's got that sort of prancing, high stepping and wider stance typical of boxers. She also constantly "boxes" with her front paws, very catlike in the way she plays. I love her white socks and chest which I guess have come from her boxer genes as that's not at all typical of labradors. She does have an incredible retreive instinct though as most labs do and will drive you nuts wanting someone to play fetch with her LOL. Now if I could just convince her that she's NOT a lap dog as she firmly believes that we should carry her around and have her up in our arms like a little teacup poodle (Mike spoils her rotten LOL).

Thats is an adorable picture. Gunnar is a very pretty dog!

adorable:D

:aww: How sweet! She's gotten SO big too. :O

Lol. They're energentic dogs, that's for sure. Especially puppies! I bet you get tired trying to keep up.:)

Awwwww....she looks great! ALmost makes me want a puppy, she's so cute!

Aw! I love her to pieces; what a sweetheart. Ah yes, the off the couch rule...:colbert: Porter and I came to a truce and he is now allowed to sit on the ottoman & ONLY the ottoman. Seems to work out great for everyone!:D

I swear it's like having a hairy, slobbering toddler that chews slippers in the house Hannah! Personally I would have gone for a year plus dog in need of a home but since this was our 5 year old's big dream to have his own puppy....well a puppy we got. I couldn't survive her puppyhood however without the kindness of another BPNet member who lent me a lovely large puppy kennel for her (thank you Vince!)

You know I wouldn't mind if she just got on the couch and lay there nicely but she has this need to crawl into our laps. She's getting to be a good sized pup now and no matter how many times I explain "we are a big dig...we are NOT a freakin toy poodle!" she just sort of gives me that puppy look and licks my ear! Dang it's hard to resist but her big paws and a distinct inability to see Grey's Anatomy around her, makes it easier to keep reinforcing that she doesn't need to be on my lap constantly. LOL

Actually I'm the dog cop in our home LOL. I have this thing about well behaved dogs and that comes with limits and discipline (sorry but the worst thing is a dog that's just a brat because it's spoiled rotten) so I tend to be the one that doesn't spoil her. I threatened Mike that if he continues to spoil her rotten I'm going to rename her "Precious Princess", get her a pink sparkly lead and collar and some of those frou-frou dog outfits LOL.

Like Robin I'm a huge Cesar Millan fan and have learned so much from his TV show and his philosophy about dogs and humans.
