Young, energetic dogs suffer such hardship.


Enrichment = mess

Me: Here is a bottle filled with your breakfast.
Mort: Awesome! I can rattle it around and get all the food out!
Me: Yeah, that's the idea! And then you eat the food!
Mort: Nope, I'll just leave it on the floor. But this is fun!

Dog walker

*Knock knock*
Mort: MY WALKER IS HERE
Me: I know, I'll just get your stuff.
Mort: HURRY THE HECK UP
Dog walker: Hello Vikki! How are-
Mort: LET'S GO NOW
Dog walker: Oh! Hello Mort.
Mort: NOT INTERESTED LET'S GO
Dog walker: How are you?
Me: Great thanks! How are you?
Mort: COME THE HECK ON I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE

Expectations were not met

Me: Breakfast, Mort!
Mort: Yay! Hey....what's this rubbish?
Me: Your food. Dog food.
Mort: Yesterday you gave me chicken.

Daylight savings

Mort: It's 8am! You're not up! Are you dead?!
Me: It's 7am actually...daylight savings, Mort!
Mort: But I'm awaaaaake
Me: Go back to sleep!
Mort: I'll get on the bed and cuddle with you then
Libby: You will NOT, I am on the bed
Mort: Ok I'm going under the bed. I'm under the bed, being a snake...slither slither...bumpity bump...oh! There's a tail here!
Me: OMG shut up
Mort: There's a tail, and I'm biting it! Ow! Oh! Vikki!
Me: Not interested
Mort: It's my tail! Don't worry
