The four-footed one is not the type to let a misunderstanding get in the way of a relationship. She forgives with ease, although she doesn’t always forget the mishap or misunderstanding.
This trait of her’s doesn’t mean she is a push-over or soft either. The four-footed one will hold her ground and ensure that her voice is heard when she feels it is necessary. If she feels you are ignoring her, the four-footed one will find a way to visually connect her wants/needs/or communication to you.
This morning Beloved was in charge of feeding her breakfast. There is a routine to this, a very basic one. Once she has come back from her early morning walk, she comes into the house and consumes what is known as the first breakfast. The first breakfast consists of the right amount of her dry kibble. She prefers it to be fresh out of the kibble bag rather than the container near her treat cupboard.
Distracted with plans for making his breakfast, Beloved provided the four-footed one with kibble from the container. Most likely because she was hungry, the four-footed one ate what was provided. However, she also kept directing Beloved to the bag of kibble.
At her lunchtime (yes, I know), she refused to allow Beloved to go to the kibble container. Instead, she herded Beloved towards the kibble bag as if to say, “this is the stuff.” It’s the four-footed one’s way of saying she can’t trust you to get the correct kibble, and now you must make up for it. You see, usually, lunch kibble is from the container.
