Caught Him!

We have just one issue with our sweetest puppy dog Kona, and that is that he tends to sneak up on the couch when we are gone.  He knows he is not supposed to do this, but, just as any rebellious child, he does so anyway.  We cannot figure out how to discipline him since he is usually off the couch by the time we enter the door because he hears us coming.  We know he has been on the couch because he will shy away from us, and there is an obvious dog-shaped warm spot on the couch.  And because he is a dog, we are not sure how to discipline for something that we didn't actually catch him doing... if that makes any sense.  (Help Dog Wisperer!)
Once in a while we will actually catch him still on the couch.  Tonight we walked in to find him on the couch laying completely still and tightly curled up in the corner of the couch while peering out of the corner of his deep brown eyes, hoping that we would not actually see the big black spot on the brown couch.  I seriously think he was trying to blend in with the couch or something... it was quite humorous!  It is SO hard not to laugh at him and how cute he is while doing something he is not supposed to be doing...  Dogs are SUCH great training for kids!!

And as I sit here writing this post on the other couch in the family room (the old green one that we don't really care about), Scott has just (literally just now) invited Kona to come join us on the couch... seriously we wonder why we have problems with him getting on the brown couches?  Poor color blind dog can't tell the difference between brown and green.  Who is really to blame here??
