That little gift grab train wreck with the pup, sure sucked for that lady and the aunt. Ratso/Lance is loving his new powers and confidence, showing he’s in charge. The display of no boundaries and discipline, his unreleased energy, is why one Never allows oneself to be manipulated into taking over the care of pups or worse, someone’s kid/s. Especially when those lazy ass ‘parents’ are right in the immediate vicinity. They will act dumb and pretend everything is just fine and the little darlings are simply having a good time.. While you are stressed and wondering how you got put in this role you didn’t agree too. Auntie better learn, or she will be stuck doing doggy duty while Fanny is off traveling, drinking and having a good old time.
Nope, don’t ever take the bait. I walk away when their little dears activity levels get too boisterous, aggressive or uncontrollable.
My motto, Not my dog, Not my kid, Not my problem.
