His favorite spot was on our love-seat. He loved to sit and look out the window. The beauty of this dog is that he does NOT shed a single hair. The greatness of genetic engineering :) But this is why I was ok with him sleeping on the furniture and stuff, I shed more than he does.
Melbourne LOVED to play with Alec, as soon as it turned dark outside (4:30pm CST) he knew Alec would be home soon, and would wait by the window and as soon as he saw his car got SOOOOO excited. Thankfully we also have the perfect yard, fairly big and fenced in, so it really worked out perfect. We had a really good time though, but no we are not in the market for a dog (yet :) ).
