Who gets the couch/sofa in your Sunline?
Not much posting going on these cold winter days, so I thought I would ask a question. Who gets the couch or sofa in your Sunline? In our case, the old adage holds true.. "Adopt a greyhound, lose a couch!"

Yep, our girls love to share the couch, with each other. Good thing we also have a recliner (that Gary claims), and I get the swivel rocker.

I'm 6'2" and a svelte 265lbs. so I take up much of the bed. Penny is the early riser, coffee maker and enjoyer of peaceful, hubby-free morning hours. She also turns in earlier than I (which is why she loves the back door on the bedroom). She opted for the sofa from the get-go. Believe it or not (to coin a phrase), she finds it comfortable. I've rigged a shelf that fits on the drawer slide, under the dinette seat, next to her that she uses as a night table and wine glass holder.
To wit:

We upgraded to the optional queen sofa bed and my late mother-in-law enjoyed it the last three years of her life. Currently, it's an extra as the kids enjoy thier bunks. The sofa bed is actually pretty comfortable. For Kitty, mdfiregal "strictly" prohibits are four legged "kids" from the sofa!!!

My previous dogs were NOT allowed on the furniture, but my greys are. Mostly because they don't have oily skin and no doggie smell.
Now, Harley, well he had his "ways" from mom, so now I deal with the "dog from hell" 
Anyone want a cute little black dapple weiner dog (actually a jack russell terrier in disguise). I'll trade Harley for a dozen greys in his place

Carol does like the couch for her x-stitching moments.....there are two trailer lights over the couch in the slide, plus there is a recepticle on the end of the couch that she can plug in her portable "daylight".

DW usually takes the sofa. I bought an RV recliner (no footrest) and swapped out the swivel rocker. Along with a folding stoo,l it's great for watching TV and those needed naps.

Ditto. Gail likes to get up, get her morning meds and then snooze for another hour or two on the couch. In the evening, she's in her plaid flannel nightgown and happy feet slippers on the couch with a good book.
I guess I get the swivel rocker by default.

Ours doesn't believe he's a dog. He can usually be found laying on his pillow in the corner or under the bed. One day, Charlie walked into the bedroom (at home) and found this . He had managed to get under the covers and even moved the pillow to his liking. We've since put risers under the bed and he stays off now, but I think it's because he pulled a muscle jumping down from the higher height (cost me almost $200 at the emergency vet on a Sunday - good thing he's loved!)
Like us, since the Sunline, he won't go back to a tent no matter how much Charlie tries to persuade him!
As for the couch in the camper - it's mine! Charlie gets the swivel rocker and Mohican lays under the table or along the back wall as far as he can get under the bed.

The weeine dogs get the couch where ever we are. It's a given.
