Hello humans and puppers! Humans you can skip reading below it’s mostly for my fellow puppers.
Puppers have your mums and dads stopped reading? Yes, okay good. Are any of you ready to kick your parents out of the house? (I’m a lucky pup both my parents are healthy and can work from home but they are suffocating me!) I know it can’t be just me. I love my parents; they are great. They get me the good food, the best toys and all the treats I want but I have rejuvenation needs. I need my quiet nap time. I need window gazing without someone asking me what I’m looking at or attempting to copy me. (If you have siblings I’m sorry. I’m sure they are worse with copying but I’m an only child so parents are bad enough. I can’t imagine sibs!) and as if no quiet time wasn’t bad enough my Mom has decided to clean out our house. Hello mom. Dad and I live here. We don’t have this frantic energy like you. We want peace and quiet. Stop going through my clothes and making me try them on!!! I don’t want to do a fashion show.
Plus my mom is making me exercise. No not extra fries. You read that right the first time. She is enjoying these three plus mile hikes she’s taking me on. Don’t get me wrong, I love being outside and sniffing everything but I have little legs and at some point mom needs to carry me because I’m exhausted!!!
The ultimate though is mom is constantly cleaning and changing my house! I just wanna curl up on my blanket (if she keeps this up I might have to be a little more assertive and just refuse to move.) And my sleep needs. I don’t wanna move rooms during my naps as mom cleans to avoid her. All I want is my big bed and a nice relaxing snooze.
To cope I’ve decided to annoy my parents back. Sometimes it’s helpful and other times it terrifies them. I bark when mom’s packages are delivered and I get fierce and bark at the backdoor right before bedtime to make sure we can sleep in the next morning. How are you teaching your humans to behave or are you just counting down the days until they get out of the house?
