A little bit random buuuuttt oh well 
Jazz has a new habit that is fun and cute but can sometimes be a pain. It seems that she is under the impression that she is a toy or a mini poo. In otherwords a lap dog. Ummm no. She is a little on the demanding side when it comes to attention and I don't mind. I taught her it was ok to jump up and "give me a hug" so that I could teach her "off". She's getting good at that, but sometimes forgets to wait for permission to jump up. Anyway back to the lapdog point. Jazz has taken cuddling on the couch to a new extreme. She doesn't just lay her head or part of her body over you, nope she curls up as tight as she can and lays in your lap. At work when we are sitting around waiting on clients and she is out she will jump up with her front feet in your lap and look out the window and be petted and rubbed. We don't mind this. However, in the last week or so she taken this to the next level and started actualy trying to climb up with her back legs and ends up sitting in your lap while you sit in the chair. When she does this she is taller than I am. Today she got excited at work and came running from across the salon and made this flying leap into my lap and sat there. It nearly knocked me off my chair. I might have yelled something along the lines of Holy #@$#[email protected]#% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My partner was almost on the floor she was laughing so hard. I too found this amusing though I can see what our next training lesson will be on. She jumped into hubby's lap last night on the couch and in her efforts to curl up and make herself fit she stepped on something of his that was... shall we say important. 50 pounds of pressure on *that* didnt look comfortable. The look on his face sure was priceless
I am reminded of a pair of standards that I used to groom a few years back. Both were execptionaly sweet and I loved them and their four mini and toy brothers and sister. The owner of these dogs would bring them in one at a time because she couldn't walk them both, "they're just too strong for me when they pull" yeah right I don't think they ever really walked anywhere. The girl spent a lot of time on two legs resting her paws on mommy's arm. The boy spent most of his time balanced on his mommy's hip like a two year old. In fact he would often try and climb up on me after his mommy left and a couple of time I was forced to tote his heavy butt in order to get him to his kennel. Is this perhaps a common thing then? I must say compaired to the tibetans it's strange to me to have 50 pounds of poodle in my lap.
