OFF LEASH: On the couch
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
When I first came to live here, I slept on the floor. Usually I would seek out the quietest corner, far away from people and cats.
Later, I became more bold, choosing to sleep on the rug in the kitchen or in the middle of the living room. People would step over me and I wouldn't care.
Then I discovered the couch. At first, I was tentative; as soon as anyone came into the room I would jump down and try to look innocent.
These days the couch is more or less mine. Sure, I'll get down if there's a good reason -- a meaty treat, say, or an impending walk. But mostly I just lie there, as sleeping dogs tend to do.
