Peace and ???
I think we have a bit of movement on peace in the Bed War — too bad we cannot say the same about Ukraine and Russia.
The dogs agreed that the bed belongs to Karma. By acknowledging that, Karma condescended to say that they could share — if she felt like sharing, that is, and if Capella agreed not to bite her or use her as a pillow or whack her with one of her big paws…
Capella, still working on assertiveness, agreed to all of Karma’s demands.
Harper, closing in on 10.5 years, is mature enough to avoid all the nonsense and so she and Karma have the most stable truce happening.
It also helped that I agreed to go to Costco and buy more of the beds — I sure hope they are not sold out!
In a preview of a post about Best Intentions — what does this look like to you?
I am especially interested in Nova Sr’s thoughts on that question…
Happy Wednesday from sunny and cold — and peaceful — western Montana.
Bed Wars, Con't
Once upon a time, a cat named Karma decided that Costco had sold a bed under false pretenses. They claimed it was a DOG bed when clearly, it is a CAT bed.
Harper B for Be My Guest was gracious about this, even though she secretly thought Karma was being a wee bit deluded and dramatic.
Capella, however, disagreed with Karma’s assessment of the bed. “Listen, no place that gives out such good samples could be wrong. This is a DOG bed,” Capella firmly told her. Capella has been getting assertiveness lessons from her mom, Claire.
Karma was not amused, and did not appreciate having her tummy used as a dog pillow. “GET OFF MY BED!” she said to Capella.
“NOW!” she added.
The assertiveness lessons have not covered how to handle rejection and Capella’s feelings were hurt. Karma did not care about that at all.
“GOOD! I am glad your feelings are hurt — now get off my bed!” she said, glaring at poor Capella.
Pozy tried to negotiate a truce, suggesting to Karma that the bed could be shared.
That went well.
