Deedee has been having a bit of a hard time as we have nice new shiny leather sofa's and we are trying to keep her off them as she has very sharp nails.  We tried to keep her off them all together but that didn't work as she so loves her hug's.  I think part of it is with her being death she likes to be touching someone when she goes to sleep.  So to combat this one of my nice new sofa's now has a throw on it so Deedee and her friends can come up for a cuddle.  I just whisk it off when we have visitors.
