The Act of Dominance

There I was in the master bathroom getting ready for bed when I suddenly heard a whiny bark. Clearly it was Landon making such a noise. I knew Brad was closer to the scene of the commotion so I assumed he'd tend to matters. The whiny bark continued. Next thing I hear is Brad reprimanding Piper while telling her to "move". After a few moments pass by and she disregards her human dad's command Brad in a louder manner tells her to "move". His tone was quickly changing. Noticing the tone of his voice, I decided to go investigate as well. Only to try to assist!

By the time I arrived to the kitchen area where all this commotion was going down Brad was standing there with Piper slung over his left forearm and his face revealing nothing but complete annoyance. As soon as he spots me he says, "She would not MOVE. I had to physically grab her and move her." I then asked exactly what happened to cause the commotion in the first place. He told me Piper was standing in front of Landon's food bowl blocking him from eating. She wasn't actually eating his food but had her entire head directly over his bowl in an effort to keep him from his bowl. Landon was bouncing from side to side with a whiny bark...likely telling her to "move" in his own language.

That right there folks, is the act of dominance. Piper being ornery! Piper letting the little bro know she is bigger and badder than he is! Based on her actions I can not disagree!
