Sibling Rivalry
Everyday when I come home from work, my three dogs bombard me and wrestle each other for my affection. The same craze happens at night when it’s time for bed. Holly and Remy both want to sleep on my pillows, nearly on top of my head. I have to shuffle them around just to get myself comfortable! Teddy likes to snuggle by my side, but if Remy and Holly get too close, he gets irritated and jumps down, only to wake me at three in the morning by barking until I pick him up. Our bed is tall, and he’s old and has trouble jumping. There are times when they all three play together, peacefully, but this is usually not the case. For some reason, they all seem to want the same toy. We have a zillion toys for them to choose from, so it baffles me as to why they all three want the same one! This is when the romping begins, and they chase each other around the house swiping doggie bones and chew toys from each other. I suppose it’s just what dogs do, but it reminds me of sibling rivalry.
