TikaNM's Journal, 21 November 2014

I am feeling like a big girl. I've gone from 10 pounds to 20 pounds in a month. I was feeling so big that I thought I'd test papa. I came in from outside with mud all over my feet. (It's been freezing rain and now it's just mud - YAY!) Instead of sitting where I'm supposed to like when I came inside like I've been taught, I decided to ignore papa, and I ran all through the house. I felt so free. I was ruler of all I could see. I ran back and just as I was going from the kitchen to the living room, papa grabbed my by the scruff of the neck and made me sit.

I wasn't happy. He took the towel and started wiping my feet like nothing had happened, so I nipped him. Next thing I knew I was flat on my back with papa holding me down by my throat. He said something (most of what he says is indecipherable) and let me go. I stayed on my back until he started wiping my feet again. I tried to get back up and nipped at him again. Suddenly, I was on my side with one hand on my neck and the other on my body and his whole body was above me. He was growling (it sounded like growling to me). He stayed there quite a while, then he let me go and wiped my feet. I let him.

Now he's not looking at me. I tossed the rope to him (I'm a good tosser); I tossed the kong to him; I laid down at his feet and whined and he just let me. I think I really made him mad this time. He's ignoring me.

Tell me guys. How do I get the upper hand? I know he loves me, but he needs to know who's boss!

Now he won't let me play with the broom when he's sweeping up my dirt???

Growing up is tough Miss Tika. Listen to your Dad. Hard to admit, but he is the boss and he only wants to make sure you grow up a fun and playful doggie. No need to nip at anyone. Not nice.

You need to listen to your papa. He knows what's best for you. Just keep looking at him with your big brown eyes and he'll play with you again.

Tika just came in and let me clean her feet and roll her on her back to clean her belly. She's still pretty low to the ground. She opened her mouth once and I told her no. She closed it and lay her head back. I'm happy with that.

She's very smart, Deb. It could work against me.
