Dog Gets A Chair That Matches His Mom's, And Now He Can’t Stop Smiling
Dogs are humans’ best friends, and in their eyes, it means they have to spend every minute with us. This, however, can be tricky for us when we have to work or run errands.
Normally, Lindsay Dyer loves cuddling with her dog Franklin, a dachshund mix. But the adorable rescue dog can be somewhat clingy—especially when his mom starts to work.
“He’s a super chill boy,” Dyer says. “As long as he can be with his people or his cat brother, Bagheera.” Dyer usually works from a gray wingback armchair, which poses a problem.
When Franklin sees his mom in a comfortable chair, he considers it an invitation to cuddle. Obviously, working like that can’t be productive, so Dyer had to come up with a solution. And she found the perfect one.
“When the pandemic started, I went full-time remote and spent a lot of time in my chair trying to type with a dog on my lap,” Dyer says. “I saw that IKEA had a matching child chair. I was hoping that getting him his own chair would make him stop stealing mine, so I went to get it the first day IKEA opened back up.”
“The decision to get him his own chair was an entirely selfish one,” she admitted.
When Dyer brought in the chair, she immediately placed the dog’s favorite stuffed toy on it. It didn’t take long for Franklin to figure out what that meant, and the look on his face was priceless.
“Needless to say, he’s very pleased,” Dyer says. “It’s his favorite spot in my office.”
However, Franklin’s feline brother also likes the small comfy chair. Luckily, Franklin doesn’t mind sharing.
“They are best friends and sometimes enemies,” Dyer says. “They share the chair—much to Bag’s disgruntlement. But they constantly cuddle on the chair or any bed they can find and don’t like to sleep without each other.”
