My goldendoodle puppy doesn’t ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle “go get your sister” as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say “go get your sister” the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.

    My cat and I slow blink at each other a lot. She usually wants to eat breakfast on the catio, but it’s not fully screened in yet, so I would prefer she ate inside as it attracts other cats and sometimes ravens. I stand in the doorway and ask her to come in, but if she slow blinks and then keeps her eyes closed while still pointing her face at me I know she’s not coming in. That’s my signal to put down the damn cat food woman, it’s al fresco today!

    Did I teach her “eyes closed for outside breakfast” or did she teach me “give up when I squinch my eyes closed at you”?
