Gotta keep a keen eye on furniture and count your lucky stars that the dog was there to notice it was about to strike and killed it dead before it ate your whole butt. Recliners in particular are notorious for swallowing even a big lazy butt whole! If it wasn't for the quick work of Sweetie Pie that recliner would have nabbed the OP, and next thing you know they'd be totally incapacitated and have to shout for someone to bring them beer and snacks.
Believe me, I know. I have a huge round marshmallow pit swivel chair that I've had for decades, but thanks to the dogs I've had over the years mashing them selves against the side of it and spinning it in circles just to make it go round and round I just might have sat in it at some point and gotten eaten up myself. Thankfully, they've gotten it disciplined enough over the past 25 years or so that they don't have to actually rip out its entrails though at first Yoshi had to drag off the giant heavy marshmallow pit cushion off the frame onto the floor and dance all over it to keep it from sneaking upstairs and attacking me unawares. I think that chair is sufficiently frightened of him now that he doesn't even have to rip any holes in it anymore that I have to sew up. Some of his toys are still hell bent on killing me, so he has to rip them limb from limb on a fairly regular basis. I'm so forgiving though and almost always do surgery on them after that and give them another chance.
Beware the comfortable furniture! Bless God that we have fur babies to attack them as needed so we don't end up having our whole butts swallowed by them rendering us completely incapable of getting out own drinks and snacks.
