My dog: Man I love the sounds my human makes, I could stand here and just listen to them all day!
Me 5 minutes into pleading: WOULD YOU FUCKING MAKE A DECISION! I WANT TO SHUT THE GOD DAMN DOOR!

Cat: Mjau, open the dooooor. Open the dooooor. Open the dooooor. Mjaaaaau. Oh great, thanks for opening the door.
Me: Are you gonna go out?
Cat: No.
sometimes they just need to sniff and feel the outside air to determine whether it would be a bad idea to actually go outside
It's this for sure, but it's also that they want you to come out with them, so they're waiting for you to go first.
That's why, when they do go out and you shut the door, they immediately want to come back in cause they just want to be with you.
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
"As long as you are in my vicinity, I'm literally good with everything."
I love dogs so fucking much.
