Fletchy is our biggest dog, which isn’t saying much since he is just shy of 16 pounds. Whatever hurts he has been through in his past however make him the baby of the bunch. He craves security and closeness. He likes to be right next to you or in your lap but he also likes to tuck himself into odd places too. On the couch that means not just next to you, but between your ribcage and your arm, as if you are sitting with your arm around him. When he sits in your lap, he doesn’t just sit in your actual lap. He crawls up your belly and sits face to face with you with his paws almost to your shoulders. He does that to one of our neighbors too which is really funny to watch. He’s standoffish to so many people but he liked her immediately and his way to show it is to crawl up her belly every time. His other safe spots are to be nestled between you and the back of the couch. Or between your pillow and the headboard if it’s bedtime. In the car, that place is between the door and the driver’s seat. When he does that, you can see him watching the scenery as we pass block after block or mile after mile. One day it was especially nice out so I rolled down the window in our neighborhood and he rested his head on the door like this. I love this picture of him because it captures his personality well.
