Do guests get a turn?

No guests allowed in that chair! When guests do arrive the boys say hello and then "bags" their seats. My English Setter is the worse as he lays out on the sofa and won't give up his space. Guests are reminded that it is not called "fur"niture for nothing!

I like that term Suzanne I think it will have to be borrowed. My Kerry is the same with one end of the 3 seater couch. He lets people sit there and then stand in front of them and just eyeballs them. A look of 'excuse me' on his face. A red indignant statue. I then explain and pop Kerry in his second favorite chair. They are so funny.

If anyone gets to Saxon's seat first he just climbs up and lays on them until they move. Usually a good shake of the head and flying slobber usually works!

They definitely take seriously the word "at home" :-) it is their place and guests should be made aware of :-) In my home, two sofas and two Irish, when guests are coming they rush to the room, one on each sofa, tails waging, big smile, please join the party ... but they expect the guests to seat on the rug :-) :-)

Not sure where this started but it came to me on an e mail ....
The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs : The dishes on the floor with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate does not mean that is suddenly your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Racing me to the top of the stairs is not the object. Tripping me
doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very
sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space that you are taking up, is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following
message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND COMPLAIN
(1) They live here....you don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
That's why they call it “fur”-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
(7) don't smoke or drink,
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.....
