The need for cuddles is strong with my golden retriever chonk. [View all]

Been sleeping in recliner of late had a surgery and Dunc the chunk is suffering Dunc and father bed cuddle's withdrawal.
So we’ve figured it out in that my son 20 has moved recliner next to the couch.
And now Dunc will sprawl out backside on arm of sofa and lay on arm of recliner on a pillow i put there with his head on my lap and sleep.

And every morning since we’ve found a solution to cuddle issues my sweat pants are soaked with Dunc sleeping drool. I just toss them in the wash my furry boy is a best boy.
