A whole new type of footrest...

[GlennR]

Willow loves to lie either on, or tangled with, my feet. I like the connection enough to keep my feet still so I don't disturb her napping. I appreciate the physical warmth of the contact but even more the emotional bond that makes her pick me as her spot when she has a cushioned crate, loveseat, couch, and dog bed to choose from, all near at hand. So I sit unmoving, long past the point of physical comfort, to enjoy that link between us that makes my heart swell with affection.

I do the same thing when one of mine deigns to cuddle up and rest a head on my lap or snuggle next to me. I'll avoid moving until the inevitable happens when one of the other dogs barks at a bird or something important outside and the moment is broken. It's a special time I treasure.

How sweet is that! My boys wouldn’t allow themselves to be my footrest no matter how much they love me! Although I will let Finnie cuddle for much longer than I can stand.

Cran likes to lay at my feet a lot or even just below where I'm sitting on the couch.
Jocu and Destin will snuggle with me on the couch.....
Dixie comes up sometimes but never stays as long as the boys.................

Angus the immobilizer prefers laps and belly rubs. Though if you stop he seldom stay long, but will return for more petting later. Leg rest....no chance of either. Though Sca used to lay just touching my feet. It was so i could not move without being monitored.

oh, now I see - Minnie should be a boy
- but I love her so much I would not swap anyway

Oh yes, this is familiar. Don't dare disturb the dog's comfort even if your legs are asleep! This morning I was going to get up when Meadow hopped up and laid alongside me which is so rare, so I stayed in bed a while longer to just relish the cuddle time with my normally busy little pup.

Oberon gets on our bed when we go to sleep at night and arranges himself so he has contact with both of us. Since it's usually that he's touching Lee but laying on me, I'll stay that way as long as I can. Invariably, though, if and when I turn over he jumps off the bed and curls up on the floor to sleep.

Best kind of foot rest .
I dont get to do this with Monty as he's usually on the chair next to me.

Yes, Willow spends more time sharing the couch with me like Monty. However, if she decides to lie on the floor it's usually on my feet.
