Yell like a dog mom

Daily writing prompt
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

Just one thing? You must be kidding me. Impossible, so I will ignore the full prompt and answer how I want. Again.

Where to begin? Here are things I’ve said to my dog recently. Things he refuses to understand even though he is very smart.

  • Flavored water is water. Drink it. I’m not trying to poison you.
  • You think I want to sit at this desk for 9 hours a day? NO. I want to stop working way more than you want me in the bedroom. What’s stopping you from going back there alone? You have a choice!
  • It’s Sunday. We don’t have to follow the weekday routine.
  • Don’t put your paws on the keyboard. Ever!
  • Don’t use me as a launching pad.
  • I’m not ready to go to bed now.
  • Stop barking at the TV. It’s pointless.
  • No need to yell.

These are the most recent ones for the past two years. But it’s always something.
