Tiny Thief

I eluded to Piper stealing Cody's bed in the previous post. Actually truth is, it's not "really" Cody's bed. He just believes it is.

You know how pets are and people too, each of them has their unique spots they prefer in the house. Cody's a little more shall I say, "loyal" to a certain bed. He has one golden spot he likes. You could say it's been "marked" by him. As for Piper, she isn't picky. She has numerous areas she likes to curl up in. She constantly changes her preferences too. For a few weeks she can always be found under the table. Then for a few weeks her spot is in front of the TV. She keeps her life interesting by switching allegiance. However, she very much realizes Cody has one particular bed he prefers. So at least a couple of times a day she steals it. I believe she knows she's stealing his preferred bed and relishes it.

Most evenings in our household go like this...Piper finishes her meal first then goes over to Cody's bed. Cody then wanders over and is rather shocked/disappointed to find his kid sister in his bed. He then laps the living room. Casually walking around and around waiting for her to get up. If she doesn't seem to get the hint that he's waiting for her to move he'll walk over and give her a pug snort. Now to me, that's when things get funny. Her response to his pug snort is the same every time. She looks up at him with a look on her face that reads, "Dude, I was raised with you and Simon, totally used to a pug snort. Going to have to do better than that to get me to move".

I'm glad they get along so well. They love each other for sure. Well, you might have to convince Cody that the warm fuzzy feeling down deep inside him is indeed love but trust me, he loves her. As for Piper though, she's seen him as her big brother since day one and she's loved him since day one too. She first bonded I believe with him. But switched her preference to Simon. Simon wanted to make sure she was really staying before he took the time to let her get to know him. LOL! Nonetheless we are lucky a pug and a cat can coexist so well, plus provide us with extra entertainment!
