Violet is a "door porch"

I have noticed, through the years, that every room I go into, and try to get out of, I have to climb over Violet, the "door porch." Most of the time I climb over "the door porch" without thinking about it. This morning, however, between achey knee and such...the "door porch" was a little too much. Usually, I tell her "up, up" and she moves...this morning, not so cooperative. "The door porch" seems to get an extra thrill when she has trapped the Aussies in a room....so I have to keep an eye peeled for that activity, and the Aussies are afraid to get by her unless she's sleeping or I'm monitoring their "entrance" or "exit". I finally broke her from laying in front of the doggy door, the Aussies had to cross their legs many times "to hold it till they could get out." Pearl, the cat, will climb right over her when she wants to go out, no problem!

Violet can be such a sweetheart most of the time, but can go to the other side of wheel at other times. :hearts:

Ditto door obstructors here too. DH uses a cane but does manage to get over them. The worst part is when they lift their heads as you are going over the top!!
I call Oscar my "speed bump". No matter where I need to go, no matter when I need to go there, he seems to be laying in front of it. :roll:


Laurie and Oscar
Oh yes I have two to climb over. Keeps us in shape.

Speed bump is also what we call Chap. I have a broken ankle and am using this little roll-about cart to get around, and I have to physically slide Chap across the hardwood floor to move him every time I get up! I think I could literally drive right over him and he would not move! He just looks at me as if to say, "What?"
Ah, yes - we have our resident speed bump: Sybil, who likes to lay across a stair between kitchen and back hall. Move? What's that? :roll: :x :P

Tiggy knows that door ways are to be guarded. All manner of dangerous creatures can get in the through the door to attack her poor unsuspecting uprights.

She is so attached to the doorway as a sleeping place that the only way I could get her to sleep quietly in a crate was to initially put a pen up around the door way for her to sleep inside and then move her to a crate a few feet in from the door. And that's where it's stayed. Non dog people are kinda surprised to walk into the living area and find a sheepie sized crate dead ahead. :roll:
The girls have taught banker to lay in the doorway. i always thought it was just that they can keep an eye on most of the house from either of two doorways. Hmmmmm, door porch. I like it.
Tony likes to sleep against the kitchen cabinets while I cook. He blocks everything!
It's just their way of stopping any wolves or foxes getting into these indoor fields :yay:
try to jump in the middle of the night, no light on over no one, no 2 but at least 5 speed bumps in the way to the bathroom :o :o :o

That makes life interesting :D :D :D

I mentioned that I have a broken ankle/leg...I have this cart that I rest my leg on and roll around when I need to get up. I am living in this inversion chair in the living room to keep it elevated most of the time. This is what I had to maneuver the other night to get to the bathroom:



And don't think for a minute they're going to get up for me. I actually slide them by pushing them with my wheels so I can get through. They look at me as if to say, "uh, can't you see we're sleeping here?"
