This was really uplifting at a time when I really needed it. Also my cats say hell yeah thanks for cheering up the guy with the salmon sticks
I feel like there is a real chance they all compare notes on number of walks and treats provided then start demanding more if on the shorter end of the stick..so by all means use this tactic but make sure treats and walks and other dog focused household initiatives are kept high so it works well
It's a nice idea, but my dog would absolutely be badmouthing me to other dogs. She's a contrarian bitch, just like her owner.
“She’s really nice, almost always feeds me on time, never picks me up unless I ask for it, she has the most kissable hands and gives the best micro pets on my temples.”
I love it.
