Smart, Patient Pup

Kaitlin, Torben, and the pups spent Thanksgiving with Torben’s mother. The rule there was that pups weren’t allowed on the couch. Now it’s confusing because apparently Torben’s sister’s dog is allowed, but Tempi and Zoe aren’t. Anyway, Tempi checked to be sure that was still true.

She went over to the couch and looked at Kaitlin who said no, still no couch. So Tempi went over to the ottoman, which had a pink blanket on it, and she put her paw on the blanket and looked at Kaitlin. Kaitlin said, as long as she was on the blanket it was all right. OK, the ottoman was better than nothing.

But later Kaitlin inadvertently put the pink blanket on the couch, so Tempi finally got her well-deserved snooze.

Humans can be crazy with their arbitrary rules at times, but Tempi is willing to be patient and work with them.

    Well I’m glad that Tempi found a way to work around the rules and get her snooze on the couch in. That’s too cute

    We have given up on figuring out the folks here – all we know is they love us, feed us well, and give us great care. We aren’t allowed on the furniture either, but for some reason it doesn’t bother us. We like playing and rolling on the floor just as well.

    Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber

      Kaitlin would like the rule no dogs on the couch, but Torben disagrees so it’s hopeless at home. We had a rule up on the land about no pups on the couch, and that didn’t bother her. She just sat on the table — the view was better from there anyway.
