I’d chuck out all the fruit and veg and fill the fridge with steak!
I’d bring sticks and bones indoors!
I’d insist on cuddles on demand – I already have them fairly well trained on this point, but there’s room for improvement.

Everyone would have to get up for breakfast at 5:30, but then we could all go back to bed until like 9am.

I’d love a house dominated by Bailey.

I think Liam and Sinead would both mandate additional treats and feedings, and they’d probably insist on fewer baths. But otherwise, they really do get what they want almost all of the time. What can I say? I’m a pushover.

A ship run by Captain Honey sounds fun and awesome 🙂

I don’t understand the question.

If?

PS. I have never seen any harm, either, in feeding my girls first, letting them on the furniture, or letting them play when they wanted to. Feeding them first made it easier to keep them from begging while we ate our meals. And actually, I’d prefer to keep Sam in the kitchen while the girls and I eat in the living room because he’s the one who sneaks them table scraps. (And I’ll end that part right here.) And I grew up with dogs who were allowed on human furniture from the time they were weaned from their mama dogs, so it was only natural for me to do the same. And play time? If we don’t let them play when they want to, they’ll just find other ways to entertain themselves…like digging tunnels to China, chewing the carpeting or walls, etcetera.

What do you mean “IF your dogs took over your home….?” Ducky took over a little over 3 years ago. Haha! Seriously, though, since our lives pretty much revolve around Shadow and Ducky these days anyway, about the only real change I would expect to see would be no Cable TV service, except for the music channels, so that we would have to make playtime our main source of entertainment, even on rainy or snowy days. And I agree 100% with Monika & Sam on all points!!
