Chester the dachshund visiting me in my room in the morning: Human! Human, I am so lonely! I need attention and company! Please, let me lick every bit of skin you have showing and then fall asleep on your feet for an hour!

Chester the dachshund visiting me in my room in the evening: Hey so I heard you have toys around here somewhere, where are they, I need to find them and then run away with them. What? You? Yeah, I guess you can open doors for me or something, that'd be okay.

He is a sweet boy, yes indeed ♥ Also ornery, but definitely sweet!

My cats have exact opposite schedule.

Cats in the morning: Hey hey hey HEY HUMAN, wake up and come feed us already, what do you mean you have to brush your teeth, get out here and get the food going, we are starving and wish for nothing in the world save the opening of the food cannister and since you've got the thumbs you've been volunteered for the job! Okay we're fed now, time to go hang out in whatever room you aren't in. We'll let you know when it's time for dinner.

Cats in the evening: You are the best human in the whole world, and I would like to express this by sitting on whatever part of you you deign to offer - your lap would be best, but your shins are acceptable - and quietly purring to you in a heartstring-tugging display of affection before falling asleep with my face pressed against your knee! (Meanwhile, me, the designated cat sofa: This is nice and all but I was planning to, like, get my dinner out of the microwave? I just sat down for one minute, I wasn't expecting to be buried in cat instantly!)

^ Argh, that's my comment! DW logged me out and I didn't notice. D:

Lol! I think it's mostly because the other humans (especially Mom, whose dog he primarily is) tend to be gone in the mornings when he does this, so he's not getting the attention and pampering elsewhere. And then in the evenings, he wants a bit more stimulation and excitement, so gotta hunt down those toys!

Pets are great ♥

Yesterday afternoon Chester followed me downstairs, and I couldn't figure out if it was for kisses or toy hunting. Turns out it was a bit of both! After some brief face licking, he tracked down a toy I'd "hidden" in the laundry room; instead of taking it and running immediately and triumphantly upstairs with it the way he usually does, though, he wanted to play tug-of-war with me! I played for a little bit, but ended up coaxing him up the stairs after just a few tugs and chases, since I was getting sleepy 😅

I'm not sure how exactly he's reacting to More Human Time at home; since Mom works for the local community college, he gets a few weeks of it now and then regardless, so I don't know if he's noticed a pattern at all. Still, he does love having humans at home to cuddle and pester for pets and treats 😉
