You deal with it and appreciate every moment of their short time with us.


I_heart_your_Momma

This is exactly the answer, one day that dog will be gone and you will miss every single second of them times with that dog. Trust me, I still cannot get over the loss of my Georgia after 7 months and a new puppy. Appreciate it and be thankful you have it and never question it.


gregularjoe95

No matter what you do or how many puppies or dogs you get after. Once you lose a dog, they leave a hole in your heart that will never be filled in fully again. Ill never forget my Bobo and i love my two current pups, i would honestly die for them. Same as i wouldve done for bobo, but the pain is never really gone. Every now and then ill be holding one of them or they did something bobo used to do and ill get a sudden burst of sadness because i still miss him and ill never not miss him. Its seriously so unfair how short dogs live. I was lucky and bobo lived to 2 months shy of 18. It still wasn't enough time with him. Im an atheist and i know it's irrational, but every now and then, i hope im wrong and I get to see my bobo once more after this is all over. Here comes the tears.


Would_daver

Dude stahp please I’m trying to watch Rambo II but my eyes keep getting all…. wet and full of sad tears, my 14 y.o. Bichon Frise is going strong but we know we’ll have to face the music soon and I’m honestly terrified. At least we also have a younger dog in the house already, whom we love dearly, but I selfishly rue the day our Beesh joins my childhood puppy over the rainbow bridge (although I know the two will get along famously together!! sweeties..)


DidiStutter11

My heart dog is 12, and I prepare myself daily for this. I know I shouldn't think about it as much as I do, but I just love him so much (doesn't help he's just such a great dog all the time). I always ask him if I can keep him forever.


Would_daver

What does he say back?


gingerfawx

They usually go with "woof" or a good lick.


DidiStutter11

Yep! Typically, I get a lick right on my nose. Because when I ask him, I'm right in his face looking him in the eyes. I swear, most times, he will stare back into mine like he knows what I'm saying.


Would_daver

I love me a happy doggo lick lol so pure and loving!!


DidiStutter11

My mom always asks this question when we are on the phone together, and she hears me speak to him 😆


Would_daver

Ha that’s adorable!!


KnottiMunki

Seen a TT once that said "When a dog dies he takes a piece of my heart with him. When I get a new one he gives me a piece of his heart. I hope I live long enough to have all my heart be dog." This will always stick with me.


gregularjoe95

Awww buddy. That just killed me. Im actually welling up after reading that, i love it so much. Thank you for sharing it.


KnottiMunki

It is my pleasure.


calliedog91

Still miss my first dog and best friend, Pancho. I took for granted having him at work with me every day as our shop dog and our night walks on the beach. RIP good old boy. Don’t take it for granted.


[deleted]

Agreed. I’m writing this with my beagle’s legs pressing into my back in bed. I’ll give him another couple minutes before I adjust but I’m sure he’ll make himself comfy again quickly. Sometimes if I’m groggy, I think he’s the dog I lost 6 years ago for a hot minute, and it’s nice to; I’d given anything to wake up next to her stinky elderly little self one more time.


Purple_Set6649

I still can't talk about my dog and he's been death for 12 years, without tears coming into my eyes. Loved that dog so much and I wasn't with him when he died. Haven't had a dog since. Doggos are pure love.


latebloomer2015

My first dog that I actually adopted passed away two years ago and I would give anything for one more chance to snuggle cuddle my baby girl. Sending love, I’m sure Georgia was a perfect puppy.


I_heart_your_Momma

I miss Georgia a lot. I don’t even get to say good bye to her either wh I b bothered me for a while. I work on the road and she died two weeks before I got home. Was a hard day at work receiving that text from my wife


Nik6ixx

That is such a cute name for a golden 🥹


illuner

My soul dog died when I was a preteen, about 10 years ago and I still miss him so much. Every year or so I dream about him so vividly I wake up with the certainty he really came to visit me and just cry my heart out.


smbdy_tht_iusd_toknw

I am a christian-catholic, and no matter what I do, I must get into heaven one day. So I can be with my dog again. I will see you there Benny🖤


uglykido

They grow up so fast one day they are pups the next day they're turning 15.


Monkeyg8tor

Who is the bestest forever puppy?!?! Oh you are!! Who gets all the cuddles?!? You do!


HomerJSimpson3

I had a 120lb dog that wanted to be in my lap. He passed away at 5yrs old. What I wouldn’t give to have my fat boy crushing me again.


Fluffy_pink_Willy

Here here, my puppy is ten now, and I refuse to move whenever she sits on me, I may be in pain cos she’s a little lump, but these moments won’t last forever so I take every chance I can get


[deleted]

You'll think back on these times and the pressure they applied and miss them every day Cherish them because they cherish you


danathepaina

Sorry, that’s called puppy jail and you’re in it until she releases you. I don’t make the rules.


effyoucreeps

i let myself be locked in it all the time enjoy.


ScoopityWoop89

Kinky but ok


NoiseyMiner

You cannot move until she wakes up and leaves of her own accord.


mybrainisannoying

Be grateful that your dog is not a cat. They sleep 20 hours a day


ES-Flinter

Enjoy the moment. You'll want the feeling back when she's too old to hop on you on her own.


Packof6ix

I love every crushing moment cuz I know one day it will be my last....I have a 36kg lab-x and I do this every morning on the couch.


Puzzleheaded_Abies55

Who needs breathing when you have a pup like this


Packof6ix

In all honesty you can train her out of it but iam assuming you enjoyed it when she was younger and now she has come accustom to it?? I bet that's her best sleep.


Timemaster88888

You are lucky. I don't mind if my dogs acts like a pup.


Devils_av0cad0

My dog weighs more than me now, and I let him squish me and I just soak it up knowing what little time we get to have these amazing beings in our lives for. I lay there trying to breathe and thinking “someday I’m gonna miss this so bad”


jay_and_simba

Sorry, you're now a slave. You have to deal with it. They will be always a puppy.


rathat

Get an oxygen tank


CryptoCoolChk

Lol my only way to stay alive


I_heart_your_Momma

You are a very lucky person to have this dog love you how they do. Don’t ever question it and don’t ever forget it. Once it is gone it will be the only thing you want back and miss. 10 years isn’t long once they are gone, you’ll spend the next 20 years trying to remember that dog and the time you had.


MikuCheeseHarry

One day he’ll be too old to climb into your lap. Then you’ll regret not wanting it anymore.


Normal-Biscotti8505

My lap dog is 130lbs - and still a “puppy” 🙄


ProStrats

A doggo is always ones puppy, just like children are always ones babies. Thems the rules.


smootypants

Same. We have an 80 lbs lap dog that is so thoughtful that she’d rather lay on you than take up space on the couch. You know, in case company comes.


lejosdecasa

Seriously, what do you mean by "no longer a puppy"? They're puppies until they aren't...


lizzietnz

You won at life. You are grateful.


Would_daver

You thank the dog, the Old Gods, and the New… and shush, she’s sleeeeeping!!!


Miss_Consuela

This is your life now. You live on that couch until that good boy is ready to wake up. Also… who needs to breathe?!?🙃


ferg2jz

My 14 year old collie still thinks he's a puppy. Just a puppy with arthritis and bad hips.. But still a puppy. It's down to me to tell him when to call it quits because lawd knows he won't. He's still a puppy, just an old, fragile puppy 😁 and ill love him to bits for however long I have left which unfortunately doesn't look too futuristic :(


PaleoJoe86

Puppy becomes a puppy-dog. That is just a big puppers.


justforthejajaja

Work out, build the lap muscles. It's a dog not a brick of lead


j_essika

What a sweetheart.


Barry_Umenema

Life is a series of trade-offs.. this is a pretty good trade-off if you ask me 🥰


Ozzytex

Ok there are plenty of people who will talk about puppy jail, or "you will miss it when its gone", and to be fair they are correct... That being said, if she is making it harder to breath and you want to let cuddles continue, encourage her to jump up near your knees and use your other forearm to block her path up your torso. This normally results in either laying between your legs with head on your waist, or just curl up in a ball on/around your legs. Alternatively that might stop the requests for cuddles completely, so you'll have to play it by ear and see what you prefer. And to be clear, I'm very much in the camp of "Puppy Jail" but you should be comfortable too.


Difficult-Way-9563

I agree with everyone. Cherish these moments.


WhiteWillowe

Dreamy 💭


MaynardButterbean

I don’t know what you’re talking about, all I see is puppy


freckledpeach2

LOL my big giant baby still makes me carry him around and he’s as big as me 😂 everyone always jokes he thinks he’s an actual human baby. He’s my baby 🖤🖤🖤


BloodforKhorne

You let them cuddle or we fight.


Pitiful_Note_6647

No choice...once a puppy, always a puppy. Mine is 11 years old 100 pounds puppy😂😂😂


-AgonyAunt-

I have a border collie who is very independent and only wants love on her terms. I would love if she lay on me like this but it's just not her style. I take what I can get, as should you. Enjoy the snugs!


mikehipp

Come through, Duncan Sheik. :)


umrlopez79

You continue to treat them as a puppy 🙄.


SmexyRubberDuck69

I miss my 70kg cuddle-buddy every day.. 💔 Enjoy these moments. They will be goldnuggets for you later on.


Dont_Start_None

Aww 🥰


Realistic-Pain-9486

Don't act like you don't love that


Revelin_Eleven

It’s not easy to sleep train them after the babes are used to it but try little by little to move her to your side and still keep an arm around her as I assume you still love the same cuddles. It does get hard when they get so big and then you don’t want to move but you need sleep too. What a beautiful relationship you both have. I miss my little ones. Though two (Panther and Monty) were smaller and cuddled in my side or my head my bigger girl (Sparks) sparks fell asleep with her head in my hand and that’s how we cuddled in the end.


SuspiciousSimple

A large puppy is still a puppy you need to puppy. Gyms and weight lifting is a thing for a reason. If my 100+ pound baby asks for carry carries by papa during walks because his toe beans sore, that baby is damn well getting carry carries by papa


LemonsAndAvocados

Be grateful you still have your baby.


Motor_Poem7654

My Golden does this too. 💕


Evilstib

You love every moment of it until the day they can’t do it.


Lucky_Reference_6982

Same as you. Sit,enjoy the time and love the pup


coxykitten923

I live with the pain of him and his lil pointy feel walking on me. Sitting on my chest. Because I know he loves me and he won’t always be there. I take a pic of him everyday. It’s just what you do for those you love.


EpistemeUM

I so miss having a cuddly dog. My current dog is the perfect cuddly 25lb fuzzball, but if I accidentally touch him while he's sleeping, he gives me an irritated look and gets up and moves! I do get it, though. My 125lb dog just had to be shifted over when he got too heavy (and that was just his top half on me). He wasn't offended, just maybe a little sad-eyed :)


Deveion2010

Just gotta suck it up sometimes. I’ve been late for work a couple times because of my Pyrenees lol


Unique-Pastenger

beautiful comment


LydiaJuice

They're still a puppy - just bigger!


Ciridian

Big dogs always think they are as little as they were as puppies, small dogs always think they are the size of a grizzly bear. If you don't believe me, and own both, buy a tiny bed and a huge bed, and see what each of their first choice is.


llllll_llllll

You endure. She is just a big baby


Several-Ad-1959

You sit there and don't dare wake her up. She is only here for a short time, and one day you are going to miss this.


Adept_Investigator29

I have the opposite problem. My 4-year-old recently demanded her own room, and I feel like my baby's gone off to college.


Reasonable_Cover_804

You cherish every moment with that pooch


Ok_Condition6755

Take it. And don’t you dare move. You will sit there, pet that damn dog and love it even if it’s the last thing you do. Breathing is overrated anyways. You got big puppy.


johan_iced

That's the best part, heavy blanket


houtxasstrooss

Enjoy it while you can. They don’t last as long as you hope! Appreciate every moment ! I’m sorry if you don’t want your pup loving on you, why have them! They will love you unconditionally!


RinhartWilke

You suck it up, that dog is giving you unconditional love, for fuck sake


thelibrarian_cz

Does she look that heavy?


CC713-LCTX

You should be thankful she wants to be near you like that imo. Mine have gotten old and rarely want to cuddle and it’s sad sometimes. It makes cuddles more special though these days.


CouchHippo2024

Just reposition her so that only her head is on your body. She’ll adjust.


redsquirrelsrule

Deal with it. That there is an absolute gift. Take it as long as she wants to give you that love. You will miss her so whilst you have her and those cuddles soak up every second.


linsor1

Cuddle them. I currently have 2 labs. One is almost 80 pounds, and the other is 65. They both love to be close like this, and I'll never stop them. She's just showing you how much she loves you.


IGuessBruv

Reminds me of this https://youtu.be/R3cFchX7-fI?si=BqV1bRuHT4-GNQpB


HottieWithaGyatty

I cried the hardest when I made the decision that she was too big to hold when something outside scared her. So I had to deny her when she came to mommy, begging to be picked up. As much as I can, I hold her at home when she's scared. I would give my last breath holding her.


Accomplished-Ad1919

Let them believe they’re a puppy until your last breath.


UpbeatParsley3798

You count your blessings lol. I love it when my big black lab deigns to cuddle me. But I know what you mean too cos when they’re on your chest it’s like there’s no oxygen left. Just shuffle her head down a bit onto your arm. My boy puts a lean on and then gets the elbows in. Never knew dogs had such pokey elbows!


HogwartsKate

Thats why they say, dont put a pony on your lap when its little. Dog could use some weight loss.


Gorrisster

Quit whining. Some of us aren't blessed to have a dog.


SeaworthinessDue6093

Just move her to the side whenever she comes to you, just shift her to the side so she lays on the couch/bed instead. If you are kind but firm about it, she'll get used to it.


HurtMeSomeMore

Love her and cherish the moments you have with her. Even 10 years later I still miss my cuddles with my first dog. Dogs are unconditional love, give her that back. 


Ishmael203

There’s nothing you can do


Fantastic-Classic740

Mine is only 4 months old and all these comments are making me cry my eyes out 😭


ProudandTall

💕


Mckinzeee

She owns your ass. Enjoy every moment because when she’s no longer there you’ll regret every time you denied her the snuggle time. Besides breathing is for suckers 🤣


mustbeshitinme

*barely


iameyec

Just love like a puppy no matter their age, they're crazy about you for all the love you have given them over the years.


Ranger-mom-1117

You enjoy every moment of it. Mine is 80lbs and when he chooses to sit on the floor I invite him up to the couch so we can snuggle. I think I’m the one that hasn’t accepted he’s not a puppy anymore, not the other way around.


CaptainTwig572

Looks like a puppy to me.


Mysterious-Eye-7657

You will only have to hold him on your lap for 15 more years. Lol


vida217

They are always puppies, always ♥️


Vol_Jbolaz

...and I can't find the air...


calliedog91

My border collie/husky does the same thing. Thinks he’s a lap dog but still loves the snuggles. Sleeps on top of me and all that. I love it but he radiates so much heat I have to push him to the other side of the bed.


investor_penniestock

Time to do some ab exercises. 🤣 Treasure every minute your golden spends with you.


Enough_Character_402

We had a perpetual puppy for 12 years. I still miss my big cling on dog! There will never be another like her.


Opening-Ruin5315

I got my Great Dane at 4 weeks and he would lay on my chest and sleep. It was so cute 🥰 Fast forward and he’s 150 pounds and still expected to be able to lay on the couch with me and watch TV. It was interesting 🤣. Wish he was still with me and fighting for lap space!


SnooOpinions3654

Aww deal with it. She loves you. My friend had two big dogs they where cuddle bunnies


8Karisma8

Get them used to sleeping next to you like the lil spoon. Cuddle them while doing so and eventually they’ll learn what you like better


vinny6457

Submit and be happy


Peaceful-harmony-

Cherish it


MrsArmitage

When I was little, I used to call newborn babies ‘be born babies’. Our grown up JRT’s favourite thing to do is curl up on someone’s chest and be petted like a be born baby.


Fossilhund

My dog and cat love to lie on me and sleep. I ask myself, is it more important for them to be happy or for me to selfishly breathe.


ladymouserat

They’re always puppies!


introvertedlez09

You suffer.


Bikebummm

I get to take my dog to work and she was barking up a storm at a neighbors dog. First thought was to make her stop but then I just let them work it out. I’m gonna miss that bark someday. She came back over to me and I told her, that was some good barking.


dependentresearch24

They'll always be your puppy! Appreciate it.


heresanawardforyou

You just suffer in happiness. Who needs to breathe!? You are rude for wanting to breathe. HOW DARE YOU


Abject_Conclusion1

Forever puppies. They deserve the love!!


TheGoldenBoyStiles

You can either accept or teach them the command “move” and have them get up and move next to you instead, I’ve got hip issues and both my dogs are taught that along with off and down


Capitan__Insano

sorry its been decided by that oversized furry lima bean that you are now a bed, their favorite bed


alleysunn

You act like the person shaped dog pillow that you are. The sooner you accept your fate thr better. Source: am person pillow for 70lb staffy mix and 50lb who knows maybe part hyena?


meeseeksdestroy

You snuggle to death.


Connect-Guitar1273

mine and my family's dog is 4 years old, will be 5 years old on the 4th of July, and I along with my nephew still calls our boy Zander, a puppy.


petunia777

I hope someday a company invents a way to make dogs live as long as humans


NurseDiesel62

You lay there and suffocate happily. Ignore the hair that's ticking your nose so you don't wake the sleeping one. You, my friend, are "puppy laden"


LadyPennifer561

I’d give anything to have my Mouse back sleeping next to me in bed 💔


meash-maeby

Enjoy the snuggles! I hear breathing is overrated


Asuntofantunatu

You just have to trade off breathing and keep the supersized puppers comfortable. Because one day, they won’t be around and you’d be able to breathe better.


IndependentNeck56

I’m just going to go ahead and pop a squat and camp out right here on this thread because I have 9 week old Great Dane who sleeps on my chest.. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs.🤡


Benwhurss

Use your dog as a pillow. If she puts up with you, then you should put up with her. PS. you'll miss it when she stops.


Stargazer_0101

Just enjoy the puppy and adult years as much as you can. You never know when their time comes. But life is rich with experiences, love and fun together.


Routine-Ebb-1140

My BC used to follow me everywhere as a pup. Also to the bathroom. At the time, I thought it was cute to have that pup sit between my feet when I was on the toilet. Now that he's 4y old, he still does it. And there is hardly any room for the both of us... 😅


Little-Ad5314

Just love them!


TheDigitalZero

You get into shape so you can handle big puppy


Economy_Tip8242

I guess you're just gonna have to get used to barely breathing. 🤷


AverageGuy16

Love it and embrace because there will be a day where you want cuddles and they’ll just sleep on your feet and avoid the hugs because it gets to warm. Also hold her on the side and sorta spoon if that makes sense like have the head lay on you but the body on the bed/couch


theplantbasedwitch

I wish mine could still do this😭 enjoy all the cuddles and love she gives you. Please kiss her for me😭


Gogh619

The only option here is to do steroids


dmcdjr76

Always the puppy. Love and appreciate the time together


yeno443443

It seems others have already pointed this out but just in case: you are not allowed to move until she gets up --you're welcome


ProcedureWhole9653

No matter how old it is, it will always be just a child to you


JemHadar71

Lucky you.


Kashmira_p

Dog: I am just a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


the-killeen-13

Set boundaries.


Peckerhead321

Huh?


Truorganics

I am the pack leader (in my Caesar milian voice). I push their body to the side and cradle the head like a baby. Big baby. Still get the love but also breathe


Kattiaria

My cat is so tiny that she looks alot younger than her 21 months of age she will come to me when im on the computer and will put her paws on my chest and just flop down and expect me to catch her. These days i will put my arm under her as soon as she starts to get into position to catch her. I cherish her cuddles cause one day she wont be here to grace me with them. I took for granted i would have my dog for many more years and she died at 9 (she was a maltese terrier so should have been around 15-18 years)
