I’ve had a dog here for the better part of two days, due to circumstances my friends could not prevent. Right now they’re both asleep and I’d like to keep it that way so won’t even move my office chair.
I was the eldest and my sister and I were very close. Years later my brother and other sister were born but we had our similarities and differences.
Now they’re up, my dog barking at the door for no reason except to get the younger dog to follow. And that’s what happens with kids.
After I got our parents to allow us to wear shorts on a 14-hour trip and change into dresses in the car 1/2 hour before we arrived, we had endured countless drum sessions by my brother and the eternal “how much longer?” questions.
Why don’t I have kids? Many reasons, but seeing these two dogs egg each other on all day makes me know the reason. I’m too old for this bickering. They’re back asleep.
What I learned is that my dog is the instigator. She barks at a phantom sound to get the other dog to start barking so he will get in trouble. Sly dog.
He wants to be touched by a human all day every day. My dog is near me every moment of the day but petting is at a minimum and sitting on laps doesn’t happen. She does guard me and herd me and make sure I don’t go anywhere without her knowing it.
Right now she is protecting me and the other dog from any harm. I just told her I’m protecting everyone and she should sleep, and she is sleeping again.
Cesar Millan, I’ve read these dogs and know I can’t have more than one dog in our family. When we went for our second morning walk, he took me to the house they just moved into yesterday. Sweet, good dog.
People who say a dog’s memory only lasts 45 minutes are wrong. All of Zoe’s mostly girlfriends love her and she remembers them for years. Many years ago my in-laws said they’d clear a goat pen for her to stay in. I said to my husband, “No, I’ll stay with her at home.” We got her upgraded to a crate in my husband’s old room, then the room then access to the entire house. Now when I say Zoe’s not coming for the holidays my m-i-l is upset because during our marathon cooking sessions, she cleans up crumbs and spills off the floor!
Now the Instigator is up again, and wonders why her little cousin is sleeping. She’s touching me! Ew, he just put a snake down my shirt! Dogs, siblings and kids. They’re similar. You just have kids longer.
We don’t have kids but would love to spoil some grandkids and granddogs! Dee
