I must be overblown on the whole nuturing thing. Earlier today, I turned to Owen (our Coonhound) and said, “You’re a good boy, Coony (his nickname). I love you.” He looked at me like, “Uh, that was way too much. I respect you and feel loyalty to you because you’re an Alpha in my pack matrix, and I would l totally throw down for you, but other than that, I dunno, that was just weird. A little too much. Now, I’m gonna run back and forth between the windows and hunt people. Stay out of my way and I’ll stay off the couch.”
