I have been working with Loki lately on door etiquette. When it’s time to go outside, he has to sit down before I open the door. He has to remain seated while I go outside, and he’s not to move until I call him.
It’s actually going rather well.
Unfortunately, he has apparently decided these rules do not apply when I’m not around.
When one of Daughter’s friends opened the door Saturday afternoon, he bolted. He enjoyed a lovely romped through the woods near our home. He ate something gross-smelling and even snuck in a quick swim. Oh, joy.
We’ll keep working on the whole door etiquette thing. That will probably be easier than trying to get 10-year-olds to stop going in and out of the house every 10 minutes.
