Right now, my shoe.
This is his standard. Loves a pat, but love his own space to sleep. Can’t even get a couch cuddle for more than 30s until he plonks off and sleeps on the cold floor. Maybe up in the snow this season he’ll be forced to cuddle me, but his breed is made for sleeping out in the snow so probably not.
Edit: He’s moved further away to colder floor :( And no, it’s not hot. It’s 8C (46F).
Aussie Shepard? That could literally be my dog in your photo.
Does yours also shed 4 dogs worth of hair every day?
His breed is a dog. Ha, really that’s how it translates. The breed is a Finnish Lapphund. “Hund” is German for “a dog” and the rest is just geographical, where Lappi is Finnish for the Lapland region in the far north parts of Finland. So he’s “a dog from Lapland in Finland”.
But anyway, shedding. Double-coated breed (obviously since homeland is in the Arctic Circle). Really active herder/working breed that handles Australian summer temps totally fine (he’s camped in 43C). But also in the alpine region he’ll choose to go into the howling wind, dig a pit in the snow, and sleep there like it’s heaven.Super minimal shedding all year round, basically nothing.
“But how is that possible?”
The answer is October. He “explodes” the undercoat over a few weeks and it’s fucking insane. It just keep fucking dropping. I don’t know where it all comes from! After that, he just stops growing more until it starts cooling again. Imagine this brushing damned near daily for 2-3 weeks.
His natural version of taking off the ski jacket, jumper, shirt, and thermals to get down to the shorts and singlet I guess.
He’s adorable! Also, I love the floor tom table, that’s great.
Haha yeah. It’s from a really old Pearl kit from the 60s that I’ve had since I was 6 after finding it at a garage sale. It sounds gorgeous, especially for jazz. Unfortunately I can’t set it up where I am at the moment but we needed a coffee table, so a $10 second-hand piece of glass later, ta-da!
When I had dogs, in my childhood, mine would try to sleep with me, and my sister’s with her. I say “try” because if our parents noticed it they’d prevent it. But it was cute, as if they associated both of us with different packs, and knew which pack they belonged to.
No one.
Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.
At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in ‘his’ room after 10 pm.

Me. He doesn’t mind being with my partner, but the dog follows me around the house, sits/sleeps on my lap, sleeps on my side of the bed, waits on the front verandah for me to come back from the shops. He’s supposed to be her dog, but we all know who he loves the most.
My dog sleeps in his crate. The door to the crate is never closed, he just chooses to sleep in there because he likes it.
My wife unless she’s unavailable, in which case I get second place… same deal with the post man 🤔
My old large dog Orion used to sometimes share “his” queen sized bed with me. Other times I had to sleep on the couch.
Not a dog, but our cat rotates. It took a long time for her to sleep with the kids but by now she goes to everyone. She switches every few weeks or so.
Got a whippet he sleeps all over me because wife pushes him off her. He’s a heavy sleeper like a teenager too… you have to drag him out of bed in the mornings.
When you first go to bed he has to be under the blankets and he curls up behind my knees but about an hour in when he hits that deep sleep the sticks come unbundled and he’s poking everyone in the back.

My cat’s torn. I got her before meeting my husband and I’m her person, but he’s bigger, so she gets to be taller if she sits on him. She tends to sit on him, with at least one paw on me. He does toss and turn more than I do, so sometimes she’ll get annoyed and come back to me completely.
But if either of us is in an uncomfortable position that we shouldn’t try to hold, she’ll come over immediately and curl up.
but he’s bigger, so she gets to be taller if she sits on him.
I’m also taller when laying down.
My girlfriends cat will sleep on both of us simultaneously
Definitely favors my girlfriend tho cause I end up with the butt end
The dogs both tend to sleep with me, one on either side so I can’t ever move to get more comfortable during the night
The pug sleeps in the middle, the bugton spoons me behind my knees all night under the blankets. Had a terrible time trying to sleep without them on vacation.
My dog likes her own space. She’s a sighthound, and a lot of them are notorious for being a little introverted.
