    It’s always the tortie. Not because she is the most responsible, because she is the one that would cause the most problems if she wasn’t in charge.

    Being the male in the house, Stinky likes to think he is in charge, but he is just rubbish at maintaining any sort of order. This sort of thing doesn’t help with his reputation either.

    I tell the dog not to let the menace cat burn down the house. I know he’s not really “in charge” though.

    I always tell my dog to watch the car when I can’t bring him in the store.

    Watched him in action. He actively tries to bring people over to the car for pets.

    My other dog (lost in breakup) would attempt to kill anything that came near the car. Always kept her seat belt on so she wouldn’t jump out.

    I used to do this when we had more than one dog. I also like to say “Don’t play too much Nintendo, clean your rooms, and I left a twenty on the counter for pizza when you get hungry” because I like to pretend its still 1996.

    I’ll keep the orange tip in mind for when my last old girl eventually crosses the rainbow bridge, because I definitely want cats next after having doggos for the past 15 years.

    Funny enough the orange girl is the alfa in my house. 2 cats and 4 dogs and nobody messes with her. Even the huge dogs are afraid of her
