How are Dogs and Kids the Same?

Having grown up in the 50’s (I know! Hard to believe!) , there were many long road trips in the back seat of our Chevy wagon as we traveled cross country to visit our Grandparents. If you have ever had this experience, you understand.
The back of the wagon contained an array of Archie comic books and Mad Magazines. There also existed two invisible lines. They separated the space between my brothers and I. You DO NOT cross the line. Not even a finger. God bless Mom and Dad.

So . . .I was watching the interplay of my dogs as they lie on their beds and floor. If the one on the bed decides that an invisible line has been drawn, a hair better not touch their pillow that doesn’t belong to them.
At times, they will all curl up together and it’s so sweet. Much like children, that can change in a nanosecond and it’s not in your best interest to put a paw on a bed that someone else put “dibs” on.
It appears that the invisible line is not a back-seat exclusive!
