Evolution

Before we bought the sofa we made a pact: no dogs allowed.

When we got the sofa we said: Remember, no dogs allowed.

When the sofa was unwrapped and we were sitting on its lovely new cushions, we said: no hounds on these bad boys.

Within days they were on the sofa.

Weeks in and i'm sitting on the edge, uncomfortably half bahoookied, because they're either claiming the primo sofa position or nudging me off while rushing to get pole position near the window to gie it laldy to the postman

Now, months later, i find myself sitting on the floor because they are on the sofa and stretching their legs to push me off.
