would be all over me if I ate it inside. So I ate that sandwich in the car, cowering like the 'pussy whipped' person I am. LOL! In what ways do your pets rule the roost.

1. Puppy Whipped
I just spent about a week driving around town posting flyers, and tromping through boggy fields in the rain, looking for a dog who'd snapped her leash-and she wasn't even mine. Now that's whipped. ;)

On the other hand-now I <i>really</i> want a tomato sandwich.

3. Let me count the ways.
We've given in to our Boston Terrier on the "you snooze, you lose" rule. Once we get out of one of our comfy chairs in the living room, our dog makes a quick move for that warmed-up-just-for-him spot. And, btw, our dog is an ACTOR. When the person comes back into the room to reclaim the chair, the dog pretends he's asleep & even SNORES to make it more believable.

He does this in the bed, too. He's spoiled rotten. :)

5. After bumping the back door so we'll open it, & doing her back yard rounds
our dog, Sally, comes back into the kichen and stands at her bowl as I pour my coffee in the morning because she is waiting for a slurp of milk. If it slips my mind she herds me back toward the refrigerator.
The next thing on her agenda is to bark at my husband while he is sitting at the computer because he should be getting down her biscuit box. He puts the box on the floor and she punches it over with her paw, if feeling enthusiastic, nudges it over with her nose if just interested.

6. This is probably pretty common behavior for cats
Usual feeding time - 5 PM. Promptly at 4:15 PM, they start to congregate wherever I happen to be. Little mews at first, reaching high decibels by 4:30. Then the leg pats begin, gently at first, then the claws come out. Wide-eyed staring at all times. Then the grabbing for whatever I am holding in my hands - book, paper, food, computer, whatever.

I generally give in around 4:50 PM or so.

Never thought I'd say it, but yes, I am "pussy-whipped" as well. LOL
