I swear the tiny dogs are exerting mind control as I sleep. I came up
with this list of demands, somehow magically benefiting them. Hmm.
1.
Go everywhere with your Person.
2.
Get carried most of the time. All
of the time is better.
3.
Poop indoors. Someone else will
clean it up.
4.
Perfect a repertoire of cuteness
to increase allotment of treats.
5.
Lick human faces to focus
attention solely on you, so they don’t stray and read books, watch tv, use
laptops, phones, or even write in a notebook.
6.
Institute parrot-on-shoulder
sitting. The view is best from up there.
7.
Get the humans to turn the heat
on early in the fall and leave it on late in the spring.
8.
Make sure dogs beds are in front
of heat vents.
9.
Get as close to the human’s food
plate as possible while guarding it from all other creatures in the house.
10. Command central lap territory.
11. Make concessions: wear the damn, cute sweater.
12. Inspire joyful dancing.
13. Sneak cat food, sneak cat poop.
14. Hint to your Person to shop the internet for a sling to be carried
in.
15. Ride on the driver’s lap to prevent lapse of attention-paying to
you.
16. If all else fails, keep barking. They will eventually give you
what you want.
George in action: revving up for a bark. |
