You might have to click and expand the view to understand this. I am in the recliner and Copper is in my lap. It was raining, and dark, and the wind was blowing...not really nasty weather but he was anxious. He has gotten in my lap before, so I thought we will try it now. He was completely satisfied there. I cannot move when he is there...he lay there about a half hour and by then the rain was over....he got down and started waiting for his mom to be home from work.
