Not dominance, I have cocker scarf, blanket, hat, footwarmer and pillowhogger just wants to be close and it's lovely. Even when driving on the rare occasions she sits in the front she will rest her head on my arm  :luv:

Not a dominance thing - more a lurve thing  :luv:

I really appreciate my four-legged hot water bottle, this time of year especially  ;)

Truly the best bit of cocker ownership  :luv: When I was pregnant Florie would lie with her head on the bump like a cushion  :005:

I got told all the dominance rubbish too.... and then I saw a litter of puppies with their mother, watched them climbing all over her and sleeping on her and realised. :luv:

Seems to be a very common thread emerging here! We have a large corner unit sofa which I sit at the left hand end of, up against the arm. The back of the sofa comes to about shoulder height and Harry will climb up onto it, walk along its length and park himself on my left shoulder like a parrot, curl up and nod off! He makes a wonderful pillow/head rest! :005: He's also a real cuddle monkey when I stretch out for a sofa-snooze, invariably squeezing down between me and the sofa with his head buried into my neck. Ollie likes sleeping across my feet whilst Amber will happily snooze between my knees! (This all happens at the same time, I hasten to add).As you can imagine, it can be a little difficult to get up but I wouldn't change it for the world!! :lol2:

That's bellas favourite position, she'll paw me until I get the foot stool and put my feet up, and if I've got my feet up and legs crossed she'll paw me until I let her lie like this.

I wasn't aware that there are some cockers who DON'T do this  :005: :005:

I have a cocker parrot! Usually he just snuggles against me and nuzzles his snout in my elbow, but sometimes he lies on my shoulder and puts his head on my neck. Oh they are adorable! You've got the wrong breed if you don't like your dog lying all over you!
