My dog’s name is Mysterio (after the super lame spider man villain). He is a Mexican hairless breed, yep, no hair, so his favorite place to nap is on top of his humans to steal their body warmth.

My dog is a Boston Terrier named Qbert. He likes to nap wherever there is sunshine. His other strategy is to wait for someone to leave the sofa and then curl up where they were to take advantage of the heat left behind.
Tricia on 05.28.2012 at 11:23 AM

I’ve got three dogs, but Kodi is the one that likes to sleep in all the weird places, including on my head, on thr back of the couch, curled up on pillows that are too small for him to sleep on, and even sometimes squished between the bed and the wall.. Chance and Ryleigh just cuddle together on the floor or couch.

Sadie, my jack russell/beagle mix, loves to lounge under the dining table on a blanket, on the bed and outside on the thyme ground cover (which we love too). I had never seen or heard of this leash but I had designed something similar to it for Quirky.com a couple of years ago. I got a few complaints from community members about the size & weight that such a water feature leash presented in my design and yet, here’s one made by another company. Uncannily similar – I guess great minds think alike!
Barry on 05.28.2012 at 20:20 PM

My dog’s name is Miki and he has a new favorite place to nap, in a 1-foot-wide nook between our bed and a file cabinet, with his head facing the wall.
It’s really weird, because he used to be scared of going into places like that and now he’ll just go in there and sometimes not even sleep. I have a picture on Instagram: http://instagr.am/p/JBeMJgkO9G/
