Hospitality may oblige you to share your couch with your puppy brother’s puppy guest. Just because you have to do it doesn’t mean you have to like it.

Dishwasher Inspections
Are you wondering if your dishwasher is cleaning your dishes thoroughly? Hire your cat to do a sniff inspection. Payment can be rendered in tuna, chicken, shrimp and/or steak, depending on your inspector’s preferences.

Sparkling Conversation
Don’t worry if your dinnertime conversation is less than sparkling. When the food is good, silent noshing is the best approach anyway.

The puppy’s dog crate offers a zen-like sanctuary, provided the puppy is elsewhere.

Comfort should never trump style. If you find your Human Mommy’s new knit booties unattractive, you should let her know, in no uncertain terms.

Meaningless Words
Humans can fall into an obsessive pattern of repeating words like “down.” Maybe they have developed an annoying tic? Maybe they are simply confused, as you are obviously “up” on the counter as opposed to “down” on the floor? Either way, it’s no use trying to puzzle out their meaning. Ignoring your humans until they are quiet is the only way to help them.

Going to the Doctor
We all have to visit the Doctor sometimes. If you can, it’s best to go to the Doctor with someone you love and respect who can calm you down during the interminable wait.

Sitting on Things You Fancy
Do you fancy the carryall your humans’ guest has deposited carelessly on your counter top? Sit on it. Now it belongs to you.

Play Dates
Don’t worry when your little puppy brother has a play date with another puppy. After they have finished their hyper puppy games, they will pass out. Everyone knows that a sleeping puppy is the best kind.
