Trying to drink coffee with fifty pound pup in my lap

Got home from work around 05:30 headed out to porch to have my pipe and coffee. And apparently we had monsters surrounding us as Duncan the golden retriever pup started barking hair up on his neck.

And sitting on bottom step not paying attention to pup , he came flying into me and jumped on my lap spilling my coffee mostly on him so I washed him off. He smells like pup wash. Sun is up now so we’re ok standing down on stand to. It’s like the infantry what’s that noise what do you think fire a flare or toss a frag or bark from the mans lap.

If I don't, the dog jumps up on my chair - picks up the cup - brings it to the floor - and drinks it.

(Black lab. bad dog!)

when I have a cup of coffee in my hands. He’s prone to jumping up quickly if he hears a dog bark etc.
