Did you get him a new chair (if you replaced the Coleman), or did you buy him a small sofa so that he could lounge out even more?Doggies like their comfort, you know!
Walt for years was the only Pup I owned that was ever allowed on the sofa. I had hurt my back earlier that year when we got him and I could not lay flat. I spent 1 1/2 years prop up on the sofa to sleep. My DH would take the pup out of his crate in the morning and when he'd leave for work and I was awake and give me him. He grew and I'd have to fight him for the sofa. Back healed, crate went away he still slept on sofa. I remodeled the living room and got all new furniture and I didn't want him on it. He got the idea quickly and obeyed but he wasn't amused. I bought him a new bed for the living room and he loved it, a compromise we seemed to agree on. I got something he got something.
Walt is taller and much longer than most labs. His Dad was even larger and his Mom was large for a female too. Walt just flatly outgrew his Coleman. It was my son and friends that drank in my Gazebo and crashed in my family room that started it. When he moved to Florida it all kinda faded away. He loved being with the gang. With us he was just as happy to sit on his memory foam bath rug I put out on the patio for him. Right now he is curled up with me in the middle of the bed. Yes he has his own pillow his head is upon as I don't share well.
