This is from Sunday morning. I was sitting outside at my favorite coffee shop with the dogs. The place is very dog friendly and there are lots of spots to hook your leashes to. Unfortunately on Sunday they had taken all but one of them down to get ready to make the outdoor seating bigger.

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

I love it! Lyric stares at me constantly. Can't watch TV without her head on my knee.

Precious babies!!!
Too bad we know that what they are really saying is "Get up you lazy human. Do you think I'm gonna walk myself?"

What's the question that you can't say no to?

My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC

Re: how can I say "no?"
you should have let him. That would be so cute! Although trying to drink coffee with a 70 (?) lb DS in your lap may be tough.icvanstra wrote:

Re: how can I say "no?"
Does he drape himself over your lap and leave his back legs on the ground?icvanstra wrote: he is wanting to crawl into my lap!
That is Diesels version of being a lap dog, then he will put his cheek next to mine...I find it adorable!

Re: how can I say "no?"
I happen to know a close relative of his -ahem- who kisses me awake in the morning if the stare down ("hey, wake up! Sun is up") does not work.icvanstra wrote:he is wanting to crawl into my lap!vneerland wrote:
He also crawls on my lap, whole or in part, but moving him off can be a bit more challenging, since he can resist if he gets told not to.

Re: how can I say "no?"
Cino is a bit small at only 50 pounds.
If I let him he will crawl up in my lap, put his front legs on my shoulders and nibble on my nose/chin. ...cute at first, but NOT so cute when he get's insistent about it. He really likes to crawl in my lap when I'm sitting in my Adirondack chair at home. ...again not so great when he decides it's time to jump up and protect the porch.
...
when I first got Cino I stressed over his size. Then learned that a small DS doesn't mean he doesn't have intensity. When I was training him in Schutzhund the helpers loved how much power he had for "such a small dog."
