New Alpha Dog

Our home used to be calm. Sophie, our cocker spaniel set the pace. She was an only child. We were barely moving back then – sluggishly slow. Buddy arrived. A big goofy puppy. We are all racing around now. He is fast, and he sets our pace. He is the alpha dog. Flying leaps from couch to recliner. Jumping over a horrified elderly dog, Sophie. We all defer to this new Alpha Dog. I am pinned in my recliner now while he hits the recline button with his rear.
