Hi all!
Gerry and I usually just share our special holiday, known as Couch Day, on his blog, but I wanted to post in the forums this year so anyone who wants to can share their best couch dog pictures!
For the history of Couch Day (not required reading), see this entry: http://gerry.tr.....m/2011/01/
Here are a few of Gerry's top couch pictures to commemorate this special howliday:
Add yours to the thread!
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.

We'll celebrate with you! The couch is great, especially with all these blankets to cuddle up with!
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!

His name is Bernie bin Laden, and he'll take the entire couch for himself, thank you very much (and just in case you're wondering, that's not a stretch. It's how he actually sleeps).
Or there's this example, assuming we can count other dogs as "couches."

So hilarious and adorable! How do people find the strength to have a "no pets on the couch" rule? If they saw these pictures, could they still hold firm????
