I want to share something. as a bit of....shall we say.....education??
I know Boris does not like to be "cuddled" I give him his space, he adores me (it is mutual) but our mutual affection does not involve "snuggles".
But my dear husband
likes to cuddle the dog. and insists the feeling is mutual. hah.
I have told him that Boris does not see hugs and cuddles like he does. and to leave him alone.
so tonight, he was showing me how Boris likes to be hugged. Boris finally snapped, lucky that it was a warning only. growl and snap. John is quick, and now he is a believer.
I am angry. my dog was pushed into protest. he did no harm. but he lost bed privileges and he got away with something I would rather he not get away with.
I respect my dog, so very very much. I love his dignity. dang it. he does not like to be hugged!!!!!!!!!
