the ikea shark-orca-blåhaj-husky with bonus actual husky wants YOU to have an excellent day.

sierra: *whines piteously*

me: go finish your food

sierra: *flops dramatically down by food bowl*

sierra: *immediately stands back up, walks to husband's office*

sierra: *whines piteously*

husband: i can't give you skritches right now beastie, go lay down

sierra: *trots back to me, flops down dramatically*

sierra: *immediately stands back up, walks to food bowl, flops down dramatically, whines piteously*

me: you are not getting more topper, eat your actual food.

sierra: *morosely licks side of half-full bowl, flicking a couple kibble out of it*

samus, scroungehound extraordinaire: *geriatric beeline for the Tasty Floor Kibble*

sierra: *snarfs up floor kibble immediately, then goes back to morosely licking the side of the bowl*

sierra: *whines piteously*

me: again. you are not getting more squishyfood. eat your food

sierra: *teleports over to door to Outside, looks back, whines piteously*

me: you were *just* outside, like, fifteen minutes ago, and you pooped, and you had post-poop-zoomies second poopings. finish. your. food.

sierra: *paw-smacks door insistently*

me: ...fine

me: *puts up her food bowl, opens door*

sierra: *feints going outside*

zelda: *bolts outside for Basking Time*

sierra: *lunges back inside, jumps onto couch where zelda had been*

sierra:

me: ...

zelda:

sierra:

me: you have got to be kidding me

sierra, in full bone coma:

me:

huskies. can't live with them, can't live without them, can't make a lick of sense out of them.

i do want to also make clear that zelda insists on Basking Time and that she also insists on Basking Time being in the actual death orb direct line of sight.

she has far more shade than not-shade in the yard, not including the covered deck itself. like. she will purposefully pick a spot to maximize her Basking Capacity.

today's 'what are you monsters arguing about now' adventure:

okay, fur down, lips down. take a break.

what on earth is the deal. what have you found.

...a stinkbug.

why are we fighting over the stinkbug. (Samus decides this is Boring Actually and goes back to her sunbathing. Samus has also already had multiple run-ins with spicy sky raisins, loud buzzy not-sausages, and spicy sky prunes, so she is also motivated to avoid the small crawlies. (unless you are a jerusalem cricket. she will not leave them alone. does she have Regrets every time? yes. does she remember? no.)

what is this face, Zelda. i know we call you crazy eyes but girl. this is excessive.

effective, though. Sierra has decided all on her own with no external input whatsoever that she is No Longer Interested, Actually.

Zelda does not actually win. winning meant she got to sniff it up close, and then when the stinkbug started scuttling away she tried to snap it up.

it got spat out posthaste.

then she tried picking it up again, both because it dared to move and because Sierra decided No Wait I Do Want In On This Actually.

this time it immediately scuttled between the slats of the deck after she spat it out again, this time with More Drama.

(learning has not and indeed i fear will never occur.)

we will then gaze wistfully at the outdoors after being cruelly hustled back inside before anyone tries bringing the stinkbug *inside* the house.

every morning. eeeevery morning.

Nanuq has stolen Samus's usual spot on her favored human's legs, so she has huskyballed herself into the not-husky-sized space between me & the husband. there is an entire cushion by my legs free for curling up on, but no. must be by favored human.

[marmotsomsierost]

Samus is a little upset that the human is going to sleep and ignoring her.

[marmotsomsierost]

if i lay my head on her leg, and close my eyes whenever she looks at me, then i'm not really begging, i'm cuddling. humans like cuddles.

[marmotsomsierost]

can i have the ball? no. but i was playing with it. mine. but the human took it away and dropped it on your head and it rolled off and you ignored it so i figured i would get rid of the anno- MINE sigh sigh ...can i have the ball?
