Communicating with the dog

This can be challenging.

I have three sheets over my blanket.

 Easier to sleep in the cold.

  One sheet gives comfort.

    Another story.

Why three?

In the morning I can wash two.

She moves around the bed,

 and waits til I finally move in.

  Might stay,

   but the door needs to be open.

While I write this,

 I am waiting for a look.

Pleading for something.

  Go outside?

   Wanting more food?

Usually the second.

  Besides,

   if it is the first,

    I am required to go along.

Might be challenging.

'Communicating with the dog'
Jon Roggie,
Yup, I get where your coming from here. When we adopt a dog or dogs we sign up for a real commitment. We people may have no idea what we have signed up for but soon we know life will never be the same. I really enjoyed your step by step 'walk' through the process of a day to night at your house with your family member.I have a spaniel family member at my house. Clever and really cute write.
Blessings,
kathy

One in the house seems to be going blind. Other than running into things, he seems to do well. Always something new with the three of them!

It sounds like your furries keep things interesting at your house. It's nice to hear about your blind baby who is cared for and loved. Thanks for a great write too.

Best to you Kathy!

Why do I feel that on putting down your pen, you sighed, shook your head and said "oh, alright then), as you unfurl yourself from the covers and reach for the leash? :)
Although im not a dog owner, I have recently been adopted by a neighbours collie, so I do empathise with you when you get that look from them.
Personally, I think that dogs are just better at pretending that we are in charge and we "own" them. Reality shows us otherwise :)

Now and again, I am required to assert my alpha status. I hope they see it the same way!

Not having a dog, I really think I've missed out. Sadly I can't wield much influence in that area, in my household. Cat lovers here.

I like both of them. It amuses me watching the dogs bark at the cat on the fence. The cat just looks at them!

getting a dog was such a good decision for me, I totally understand the pleading :)

This one has the perfect eyebrows. She has been around the house a few times tonight!
