There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. And it is true that they will claim 1meter around you as their own personal space. I share mine at the moment with one very special Great Dane who thinks he's a lap dog! He makes typing very difficult! LOL
hahahhaha I can imagine already him sitting on our lap at a table trying to eat off a plate of :D
He doesn't need too! He just sits beside the table and reaches over to take what he wants. Next, I will be setting a plate for him too! LOL
