Life ain’t fair 🤷‍♀️🤭

Bahaha luckily the opposite is true for most dogs. I’m the smothering type too 😂

My husband works from home and is with them more 🤭

Interesting. But perhaps I wasn’t clear enough: it’s about presence per unit time. One can exist near a dog in a way that doesn’t count. Being present to a dog mind requires intentionality.

Ah now I understand your definition. Yeah, that might be true.

I read that dogs release more oxytocin when spoken to in a high frequency pitch and women have higher speaking pitches than men too

Interesting. We have a huge purebred female American Akita and a small purebred Pomeranian (who happens to be a huge “throwback” variant of his breed weighing nearly 1/10 he Akita) and my wife is clearly top dog. She is firm with them and gets voluntary compliance with commands while I get a glance at my wife before dogs obey my command 🤣

Omg haha she’s definitely their alpha. Come to think of it, the dogs listen to me more too 😂

You men chose the dog poorly then. I chose the puppy of the litter who had just engaged in a 1hr tug of war with his brother at 8wks old, and he STILL had enough energy to engage with us. That was the dog for me. I’m alpha in the house and it’s not even questionable. :)

There’s more than one alpha is this house and it’s….interesting sometimes 😂

Aw, nothing like a dog’s love

Niceee
