I think you got it wrong Gary - Ralph had NOT finished looking in the silverware drawer and obviously punished you for assuming he had. Back to the Slave Training Manual for you  |

Perhaps he had pointed and you had failed to obey promptly enough.

Sorry, Gary, Jan and Siobhan are right. You failed to measure up and the bite is completely your fault.  |

Back to the Slave Training Manual for you No-- he definitely looked away from the drawer and said uhhhh. That means "I'm done here, let's go."  Maybe I didn't act quickly enough, as Siobhan suggested. Could be that Ralph was leaving it up to me to decide where we'd go next, and my indecision warranted a chomp on the beak-- er, nose. |

Well Gary, we only have your version of events on what occurred. I am sure Ralph would tell a completely different story.

You don't need fish to break this rule. Paying too much attention to the TV is also against the rule, as is taking a drink out of one's coffee or pushing your OWN HAIR out of your eyes after a Quaker has arranged it the way he/she likes it, which blocks your vision, but of course, that's not important to the Quaker.

Cupcake sometimes throws a tantrum when we turn on the TV. She usually tolerates it pretty well, but every once in a while she finds it completely unacceptable and we get the yelling and strutting green chicken routine. She knows it means she will be getting less focused attention.

Use of the telephone warrants punishment by HRH Skye!

If I am watching television with Shah and accidently doze off, I either get screamed at in my ear or a bite to wake me up to let me know he is extremely displeased with my behaviour and dont do it again.

There is no such thing as a nap in this house.... unless you are deaf. Oscar refuses to let me get 5 minutes of closed eyes. Once I sit up and say okay already..... then he will play with his house and be quiet. grrrrrrrr

Once I sit up and say okay already..... then he will play with his house and be quiet. grrrrrrrr Sometimes Cupcake will actually let us take naps, amazingly. But you can't count on it. As soon as you count on her putting up with a nap, she will decide to start picking at your face while you are lying there to wake you up. But it is not uncommon for her to sit quietly next to a sleeping person. She would love to sit right on our chest but generally I don't let her do that because I'm afraid the person will forget she is there... |
