the “dog mom” chronicles … the loving comedy in owning a siberian husky .:|:.~ part 3 ~.:|:. June 28, 2008

I don’t know why I’m surprised anymore. This stuff happens so often, and still, it amazes me.

It’s a rainy Friday night in June. We’re sitting on the couch watching a movie; Justin on the right side, me on the left, and the middle cushion is open. Cody is in his usual spot – on the granite floor by the back door. (He spends a lot of time here – he’s extremely furry, it’s the middle of summer, and the granite is nice and cold. Good match, huh?)

So we’re all settled and about halfway through the movie. Cody gets up and nudges Justin, which is what he normally does when he has to go out. We pause the movie, and Justin gets up to let Cody out. As Justin walks to the back door, Cody makes his move … and steals Justin’s seat on the couch! In his defense, that cushion IS normally his. But seriously! He sits there with his head over the arm of the couch, and refuses to make eye contact with either of us.

Needless to say, at this point, all we can do is laugh. These little things are so funny! The attitude is at times just too much to bear!
