Dog Gets A Chair That Matches His Mom's, And Now He Can’t Stop Smiling
Franklin, a clingy dachshund mix, had a simple problem, his mom’s favorite chair looked far too comfortable to ignore. Lindsay Dyer loved working from home, but every time she settled into her gray wingback armchair, her dog treated it like an open invitation to climb in and stay there.
That made remote work a little less productive, especially once Franklin decided he wanted the chair for himself. Dyer came up with a clever fix that gave her dog his own place to sit, and it turned into an instant hit in the office.
Now Franklin has a chair that matches his mom’s, and his reaction says everything.
“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.
That plan sounds pretty familiar to anyone who has ever worked with a needy pet nearby.
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.” “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.
This is similar to the dog who pottyed in IKEA after his owner skipped the pre-shopping break.
“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.”
Franklin got the chair, but Bagheera clearly wants in on the comfort too.
