Do you find yourself arguing with your pet?
Zoe Thee Boxer: (sniff, sniff, lick). Me trying to sleep: (rolls over and pretends I don't know she is there). Zoe Thee Boxer: (sniff, sniff, lick, wet nose poke). Me: Go lay down, Zoe. Zoe Thee Boxer lays down. Three minutes later...Zoe The Boxer is back (double wet nose poke, Boxer tail knocking on the desk. Me: Zoe, go lay down, I'm not getting up yet! Zoe Thee Boxer lays down. Three minutes later Zoe Thee Boxer is back. Me: Okay, okay, I'm getting up because you will just nag me until I do!
Hi. I walk my three dogs just before going to bed. This gets them relaxed and ready for sleep. My youngest likes to sleep in her cage and will sometimes chew on one of her bones for several minutes. So in general, everyone is on the same page. The two older dogs are past the age of ten, so they're seniors. The young one is about two.
How long, exactly, have you been a pet owner and/or been in deep denial? Lol! Mine forges the lick, poke stuff and goes directly to an eardrum-shattering YARK!
Once animals see you as one who provides food, they'll be after you.
Wild birds, even hummingbirds, would tap on the picture window glass when the bird feeders were low, and if I was out of town, the birds would fly to my mom's window and tap until she climbed the stairs and filled my feeders for me ( I had a two-level double house).
Sometimes they'd fly to the car and tap on the window if I was leaving without refilling them.
That's persistence and it pays off for the birds.
One of my rabbits gets impatient while I feed the and tried to knock any food out of my hand, I'm always telling him off for being bossy.
Toby: meow meow meow (drags me down the hall)
Me: What is it Toby?
Toby: meow meow meow (leads me to the kitchen)
Me: Alright, you want to show me something in the kitchen?
Tobe: meow meow meow (points at the food bowl)
Me: Oh, poor thing, the food bowl is nearly half from when I filled it this morning.
You have to wonder, who taught them to lay guilt trips?
