Terrible vibes this morning and I feel like my dog knows it because she keeps wanting to play
-
@Thomas there is a 4000-year-old cuneiform list of popular sayings in Old Babylonian and one is “the dog knows “take it.” It does not know “drop it.”” It’s comforting to know that dogs have just been Like This for at least 4000 years
@checkervest holy shit that’s amazing actually

She’s tricking you. You cannot take the ball.

@Thomas Bisous loves to play this game, make it seem like she will let you have the ball but it's a trick
@whiskeysailor yeah, Maeb will drop the ball at your feet or right in your lap, bark at you, then snatch the ball as soon as you reach for it

She’s playing “no take, only throw” which isn’t exactly fun
@Thomas sometimes Kipper (Terra is only occasionally interested in fetch) but he believed in "give" no matter what you were doing. All my phone calls were on speakerphone (a habit I have yet to break) because he felt phone time was fetch time.
Playing piano? Sometimes you'll hear a discordant chord as he spits the ball onto the keyboard to make sure you know what he wants.
He also liked "gambling" by which I mean he'd try to "lose" and retrieve a ball under furniture. If the House "won" one of us would have to retrieve the ball for him usually with a broom handle

@lapis Maeb also loves to kick her toys under the couch if we’re not paying her enough attention

@lapis playing with a dog is the best IMO

@whiskeysailor @lapis yeah, Maeby would play all day if I had the time. She’s got a pretty good routine these days though and leaves me alone when I’m at my desk mostly

@checkervest @Thomas this is one reason I love @CatsOfYore because it shows not only that cats have historically been the same weird little guys but that we historically have been equally tickled by them being weird guys and felt the need to document
