Lily

Dogs like to know what is expected of them.

When Lily doesn't listen, and I get frustrated at her, she looks at me as if to say, "What the hell is your problem?!"

MY problem, Lily, is that I don't like you jabbing me in the kidney with your pointy claw paws. That's what. And don't say, "I'm just a dog; I don't know what your kidneys are." It's true, but it would freak me out if you said it.
