The Witchy Bitches on Nostr: You know, you can't ever say that dogs don't learn from one another. When baloo first ...

You know, you can't ever say that dogs don't learn from one another. When baloo first came to live with us and be a part of our family, she was the most timid dog you could ever have imagined. She never got on the furniture. It's been about two years now and she got on the furniture consistently after a month or so of living with us and watching Phoenix and Callisto playing endless games of "the floor is lava" as they leap from chair to chair as well as sleeping in my bed at night. Well, she has finally learned the ultimate lesson… How to be rude and bossy… And who better to teach it to her then Phoenix and Callisto, the dream team of rude and bossy. I was sitting in the uppies chair, which is a large, sage green armchair. It is the only chair in my house large enough for the enormous brown dog. I was reading my book, and farting around on the Internet as one does, when she walked up to me and began poking me with her nose repeatedly. She has learned, also by watching Phoenix and Callisto that if she wants to get a deafblind person's attention, she can't just sit around and make eye contact or wine because I'm not going to notice. She has been doing the poking thing for about a year, but now apparently she has become brazen enough to begin poking me when she wants her chair. She has even resorted to placing her enormous brown paws on my feet and sort of putting her weight down on my toes… That is 100 pounds of labrador if anyone at home is playing along. So, Phoenix and Callisto have finally taught her how to be rude too. But you'll note, I am posting this from the much smaller recliner.
