    When I accidentally spilled some (unheated) chicken broth on my dog the other day, I hoped it might teach her a lesson about being in the kitchen when I’m preparing food. It did not.

    There’s so much expectation and trust put upon terrestrial pets. The only pet that I haven’t asked something to the effect of “why would you do that?” or “what did you expect to happen?” was a goldfish. RIP Goldie. Your only mistake was naïveté to cannibalism.

    I would never be able to take such a picture of my dog. He would be ferociously licking the tiny bit of delicious food that he not allowed to have off of his back.

      Mine knows it and doesn’t listen (we don’t try hard enough)

          He really likes being around his people so I feel bad kicking him out. Luckily he mostly stays out of the way.

      Somehow It never occurred to me that people other than me say that exact thing to their dog
