But what is even more entertaining, well entertaining is a cruel way of putting it....amusing....no, ok...thought-provoking, is how Party-Pants gets absolutely disgusted and pouts when I take his collar off. The Nanny doesn't care, she just shakes and goes along with her business. But Mr. Party, he cowers when I grab the buckle, shakes once trying to break my grip. Once the collar is off, he lays down with his chin on his paws, gazing up at me with those big brown puppy-dog eyes, that my friend, is definitely a pout.
This action got me thinking. Mr. Party was a stray, maybe he likes this collar because it shows everyone that he has a pack, a family that he eats with, sleeps with, plays with and protects. His collar is far more to him than just a trip out of the house, it is his sense of belonging. His reminder that he belongs somewhere.
Maybe try leaving his collar on him when you get home!! See if that improves his attitude! Then take it off before bed...he might just love his collar that much!!
ReplyDeleteWe usually forget to take it off for most of the evening, and he gets to wear it for several days sometimes. It doesn't seem to matter hose long he gets to wear it, poor fella gets thoroughly disgruntled.
