Humans. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I don’t get them.
So you TRY and be helpful around the house, and you are told “NO!” OK. OK. I won’t lend a paw again.
Case in point. My human finishes her supper. She leaves the table. I see this as a PERFECT opportunity to help clean off any crumbs that may be left on the table. I’m JUST being thoughtful! I put my two paws on a chair and proceed to lick the table clean. Until my human turns around and spots me and says “Viktor – I am QUITE capable of cleaning off the table. So STOP it.”
I get the same response when I am helping my brothers to clean any stray crumbs – or yoghurt remnants on their chin – after we have all shared the almost empty yoghurt container each morning. Again. I am just helping. But my incessant licking drives my human wild – and although Frodo will often tell me to bug off – Paxton sadly obliges. All the time. Until my human tells me to stop. I can’t help it. Licking is fun.
Hey. I just had an idea. Maybe I could work for the Timex watch company! Remember that ad “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking?” I could be their poster child. Who do I call????? Might as well get paid for doing something I love to do!! Oh I am just FULL of good ideas! Gotta love me.
