Grumpy Girl

Pang, likes her beauty rest. When she decides it is her bedtime, she quietly leaves the family room and goes upstairs to her bedroom. Ten minutes later I'm wondering where she is. I call her and at the top of the stairs I see her head poke beneath the ceiling. Then she runs down to see what I wanted. I tell her I just wanted to see where she was and so she walks around me a bit to make sure I didn't drop food or have a treat for her and then goes right back up to her bed. Sometimes, my bed! I come upstairs most days to find her in her "room" -her kennel. She knows she's not allowed on my bed, but does it when I'm not around. When I walk in to find her there I can't help but want to hug and kiss her anyway to tell her good night and then shove her off. She just looks so pretty all curled up in a ball -lol probably a ball of her shedded fur! Sometimes, when I go to shove her off, she gives a small growl becuase I've interuppted her sleep -or something- and she jumps off my bed and flops into her kennel. What a grumpy girl. I don't like the growling bit, but I guess she is letting me know she is unhappy. A dog talking back? My dog is so weird! I still love her though. At least she knows where her "room" is... I say "Panga, go to your room!" and she goes and lays in her kennel. I love that command, it makes me laugh. Reminds me of my mom yelling at me when I was a kid. I try not to treat Pang as if she were a kid -she's very much a dog, but she responds well to some commands that you would also give a child...so it works for us. My current problem is figuring out what to tell a kid -er dog that keeps jumping on company? Maybe "go to your room!" would work for that.......... :P
