Some time back I mentioned that I was looking for a classic 'Wing Back Chair'; perfect for my daily post lunch 10 minute power nap.
So you can imagine how pleased I was when a lady we know phoned and asked if I wanted one. I'd mentioned to her that I was looking for one just like hers, and as she's moving back to the UK she wondered if her ageing chair would be of any use.
OK it needed a couple of springs mending, and the cover has seen better days, but it's a genuine Parker Knoll chair and exactly what I wanted; even its colour and scruffiness suits our house.
Unfortunately someone else has had his eye on it. Bok has noticed its arrival in the sitting room, and has declared it 'a dog bed'. Personally I think it's a bit small for him; don't you?

No - perfect size for Bok!
His head doesn't fit.
How could you say no to that face?
We have tried to say no, but he ignores us.
Parker Knoll, aren't they something for the aged?
We used to have a Parker Knoll suite at home - very comfy it was too so I can understand Bok choosing this for his bed , albeit a bit small.
I've had many a favourite chair taken over by a cat....he looks very comfy on his dusty rose dog bed lol.
You're thinking of Nosey Parker Knoll.
They're very well made. Not very trendy, but well made.
He used to sleep on my sofa, now it's the wing-back.
He is so cute. Perfect place for him.
I just bought one for my twin brother while I was visiting him last week in Arizona. It is a royal blue with a small rub mark on one arm. I paid eighteen dollars for it at a local thrift store, they had no idea what they had obviously.
That's a splendid photo, with its colors, light, angles and curves...and it's relaxing star, contemplating a power nap.
Perhaps you all can share custody of the chair?
Best wishes.
Bok knows where you're heading after lunch...he's warming it up for you.
A lovely cottage chair ...... keeps the draughts off and perfect for Bok .... nice and snuggily !! XXXX
He certainly thinks so.
Sounds like a bloody bargain. I would have paid more for mine, but luckily it came free.
I think he might complain. He's an all or nothing guy.
If only it were thus!
They're lovely chairs aren't they. Perfect for that few-minute snooze in front of the fire.
No, it is perfect for him.
All dogs know how to stuff themselves into any shape to fill any spot they want !
What a great photo of a gud dug.
cheers, parsnip
No it is definitely just right for him. Sorry Cro but the odds are against it ever being your chair.
Ha! He claimed it for his own...tough luck, Cro! :)
Just right for Bok, Cro, perhaps he'll let you borrow it now and then !
Yes, animals do that and we seldom mind. However, if a person took it from us, we would not be so forgiving.
Absolutely not, they like a good squeezy fit. It makes them feel all safe. You should see my sister's HUGE Ridgeback girl squeeze into armchairs!
Smart dog!! Looks like it fits Bok just right. :)
A good comfy chair and all's well with the world.
