My dog is so weird!

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 28 Apr 13

We had a fire tonight and brought the dog out to sit and enjoy it. Apparently the dog refuses to sit or lay down on the ground, even though he was very sleepy. First, he squeezed himself into my youngest son's folding chair.....

frankiecesca Aww, my dogs do that when we have the fire pit on too! As soon as there is a free chair, they like to jump in and snuggle down. We usually try and just let them sit with one of us if they can squeeze in! Or when some people have left as we usually have friends...

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 27 Apr 13

Okay, I need some help with this. Turbo is thus far a great dog. He appears to be housebroken, he hasn't had any accidents in the house except for 1 when he first arrived. He completely ignores the cats, and loves to lounge on...

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 28 Mar 13

frankiecesca Yes we own our a car and we like to go out for the day in it. I really in fact enjoy going out on road trips but, the cost of petrol is so high sometimes that we do not always get to do as much as we used to do.
