One of the first things we noticed about Llewelyn is that he is a very relaxed dog. Or it's more like he's two dogs in one: a highly athletic, social, active, running-jumping-sprinting machine of a dog when he's out in the wilderness, and a totally easy-going, malleable, sleepy, fluffy, do-with-me-what-you-may kind of dog when he's in the comfort of home and familiar surroundings.
As we abandoned the fight to keep Llewelyn from sleeping on our bed, we also gave up on trying to keep him off the couch. I guess we're bad dog owners. The books say you're not supposed to let your dog on your bed or living room furniture. But his persistence and total cuddly adorableness broke us down. And we don't really have any regrets about it; only when we're at other people's homes and he tries to jump on their couches. I don't blame him for his confusion...
So this is indeed one relaxed dog, who enjoys his comfort. We've noticed that he usually positions his head on a pillow or cushion, like a person, and has no shame in lying spread-eagle and taking up one side of the bed, or half the couch.
And everyone here finds this perfectly normal, especially Llewelyn.
