I know some of you think Bowser is all love and light – a happy-go-lucky soul – spreading joy and cuteness like rays of sunshine everywhere he goes.
Listen. To. Me.
Actually, Bowser is an unrelenting, unapologetic authoritarian taskmaster and I am helpless in resisting his demands.
If I am slow to respond to Comments, please send help. I am being trapped in servitude to this authoritarian bully despot enforcer tyrant dog.
Elbows up,
The WB
I know that trauma. I have an authoritarian living here too. And she has a temper.
I’ll bet you do!
we should start a support group. Thanks, Dawn 
Oh, the look in that first photo.
You’re doomed.
Yes, I most certainly am! Thanks, Rivergirl
Hi Bowser – well you’re so right … she, that boss lady, does need to be reminded on how to look after you … cheers to you both – happy days! Cheers Hilary
Thank you very much, Hilary
Happy days to you too!
LOL!! Love it!
Thank you, Deborah
Sounds about right. Most dogs do know how to work the system. Some better than others.
Bowser is a master (and we are suckers
). Thanks, Jean 
It’s those eyes anyone would be helpless
That’s my excuse!
Thanks, Sheree 
But he is a cutie!
He has got that going on! Thanks, Kate
Ah, he is only wanting unwavering servitude from his humble waitstaff! ♡
And…he gets it!
Thank you, Donna 
The lady doth protest too much, methinks!
Maybe just a little bit
. Thanks, Bobi 
I’m not sure why you think you have a choice in the matter. Bowser requires pets, you have fingers. Duh.
I think the word you are missing is no.
. Dogs have great vocabulary recognition, and no can mean no! Just saying. I see from the comments I am the only one who is a “meanie”!
He does sound remarkably akin to a cat who knows that the humans are simply his staff…
So true! I wish he could purr, though
. Thanks, Debs 
What a sweetie! My dog Rex is also like that – he paws if you stop petting. However he is like 100 pounds so it’s a bit much sometimes!
That would be quite the pawing!
Thanks, Nicole 
Oh, and PS: ELBOWS UP!!!!
All is forgiven about comments once you see who your taskmaster is.
Thank you for your understanding and forgiveness, Ally
