I am feeling like a big girl. I've gone from 10 pounds to 20 pounds in a month. I was feeling so big that I thought I'd test papa. I came in from outside with mud all over my feet. (It's been freezing rain and now it's just mud - YAY!) Instead of sitting where I'm supposed to like when I came inside like I've been taught, I decided to ignore papa, and I ran all through the house. I felt so free. I was ruler of all I could see. I ran back and just as I was going from the kitchen to the living room, papa grabbed my by the scruff of the neck and made me sit.

I wasn't happy. He took the towel and started wiping my feet like nothing had happened, so I nipped him. Next thing I knew I was flat on my back with papa holding me down by my throat. He said something (most of what he says is indecipherable) and let me go. I stayed on my back until he started wiping my feet again. I tried to get back up and nipped at him again. Suddenly, I was on my side with one hand on my neck and the other on my body and his whole body was above me. He was growling (it sounded like growling to me). He stayed there quite a while, then he let me go and wiped my feet. I let him.

Now he's not looking at me. I tossed the rope to him (I'm a good tosser); I tossed the kong to him; I laid down at his feet and whined and he just let me. I think I really made him mad this time. He's ignoring me.

Tell me guys. How do I get the upper hand? I know he loves me, but he needs to know who's boss!
