The real reason we have pillows

Here is Alex cuddling a pillow on the couch. Why is it that the dog is on the couch all day and we are all on the floor? I am just so glad we spent tons of money on custom slipcovers so the dog can enjoy them. Actually I am glad that they can go into the washing machine after Alex drools on them and Derek wipes his dirty marker- covered hands all over. Worth every penny!
