Dogs probably don't understand money, so they really don't understand why a door being opened or closed should matter. In their mind I wonder if going in/out of the door is much different than playing fetch. Repetitive action with their friend that included some sort of attention.

Or maybe they are living like cats and we just keep giving them the benefit of the doubt

It's not about money, it's about me standing at my door in a weird staring contest with my dog while both of us want to go chill out with each other. She's doing it on purpose just to fuck with me, I can feel it in my bones.

Yeah my phone apparently autocorrected conniving to living in that last message. I meant conniving like cats, lol

I think I'm used to autocorrect fucking up because that's how I read it anyway for some reason lol
