I wish I could remember who to credit this for:
Daddy dog is lying on the rug enjoying a bone. One of his boy puppies sees Daddy dog enjoying the bone and decides he would like to take it. He walks over to Daddy, tries to take the bone, and gets growled at. Not willing to take no for an answer, he backs off, and then tries again. This time, he gets run off with a nip to his flank for his trouble.
Later, one of Daddy dog’s girl puppies sees him enjoying the bone. She decides she would like to take it. She walks over to Daddy, tries to take the bone, and gets growled at. Not willing to take no for an answer, she backs off to access the situation. This time she goes back over to Daddy and ignores the bone. She gives him a play bow and starts to jump all over him. After awhile, Daddy dog gets tired of all the attention. He forgets all about the bone, gets up, and leaves. Our little girl puppy now lies down in his place and takes over - enjoying the bone.
