Oh, now I feel even guiltier! How could I have wronged the animal doggie kingdom so. I HAVE had dogs- but not the kind of dogs everyone else seems to have, wonderful, man's best friend, save you from the burning building, kind. We had Woeful , who certainly was. And this little black dog, Pasha, a cockapoo, who used to lie on the kitchen table and she knew she wasn't supposed to, so she would do it while we were at work. Then when we got home and walked in, she would stand up, all nervous, and urinate all over the table. Now WHY didn't she just get off the table when she heard the car drive up? Or the key in the door? But no. Day after day, we walked in, and she peed on the table.
Then she was raped by the neighbor's dog and really became neurotic.
So I don't know if it's guilt, or just stimulus-response training. They just know they've pissed you off and you're going to reprimand them, and this is a bad thing.
I'm a cat person. Cats are much smarter. They know they're bad because they do it on purpose. They WANT to get you upset. It's fun. Tesh and Myers try to hide it, but they are laughing when they run and hide after they're bad. I've seen them looking at each other and giggling. "Did you see her face when you knocked the lamp over?"
They think I can't hear. SOmetimes they act sorry, but I know they're just trying to manipulate me and don't mean it at all.
We just watched Shawshank Redemption- what a great movie.
I must go to bed.
I will beg forgiveness from the DogGod for all my transgressions today. |
