Just who runs this household anyway?

New Year's Eve, 9pm

Tug has played with my sister all day long and not really napped. He sits and stares at the three of us for awhile and won't be coaxed over to anyone. Then, he goes and sits in his crate...very odd. I go and get him a treat since any quiet behavior is rewarded even if we think he's only being quiet to get a treat. He eats it but isn't enthusiastic and remains sitting in the crate. I could tell he was tired so I asked "nite-nite?" (It's what Mama says as she pulls the drape over his crate at night and he does understand that means to settle down.) His little ears perk up and he looks at all of us in turn. The silly thing wants to go to bed! Mama decides to go too since that way he'll settle down for sure and she's tired anyway. I'm surprised to realize I'm tired and bed sounds good. My sister was staying over and had been camping the previous few nights and she's ready for bed.

Happy New Year! LOL
