Litter Mates

I was lamenting about how the dog obeys the husband but totally ignores my commands. My friend, Dean Crow, explained it to me. He said, "She doesn't see you as an authority figure. You're her litter mate."

How sad, but true! I am the one who hands out treats. I am the one who finds the naughty behavior cute on occasion. When I decide to be the disciplinarian, it just confuses her.

The oldies do a similar thing. They curl up in their litter box (bed) for eons. They're there for each other as spouses and friends. Mostly, they're litter mates.
