      Yeah, I used to have a 80lb pittie. He thought he was a lapdog but thankfully didn’t want us to carry him around.

        @ickplant@lemmy.world Gryff definitely thinks he’s a lapdog, moreso, even, than his 52lb #pittie predecessor (she was more-insistant on laying next to me; he wants to be on me). Fortunately, the 65lb dog we adopted was 8lbs overweight (so, now that he’s in proper trim, he’s “only” 57lbs).

        My wife’s dog — the void to the right side of the photo — often wants lap-time, too, but is significantly less-insistent about it (which is good, because when you have 100+ of bullies arguing over who gets to actually be on the lap, it can get a bit fraught).

        My 80# lab will not only lay on me, but get up just to drop his full weight back down on me. Fuckin jerk.
