It’s not funny when it happens to kids. A friend of my daughter was like this; she would act out to get attention. I let her know that under NO circumstances would that work with me, and she would totally behave for me.
I agree that with kids and animals, they all need to be taught with clear and consistent rules. .Hello Cathy friends! Happy Tuesday!Thank you for the anniversary wishes, Sis and lindz.coop! :-) And a happy anniversary to you also, lindz.coop!!
Rewarding dogs for bad behavior will only cause them to engage in even more bad behavior. At this point, scolding them will do nothing to help teach them a lesson as they won’t associate the angry words with the “crime” they committed. Everything possible needs to be picked up and put away so the dogs can’t get to it and if the destruction continues, then the best course of action would be for Cathy and Irving to crate Electra and Vivian while they’re at work so they won’t have any more opportunities to ruin anything else while they’re home alone all day by themselves.
Hi, rgcviper! :-)
lightenup: You’re welcome, Sis! Hope you and your hubby had a really great one! :-)
lindz.coop: While I don’t know everyone’s special days here, I always make sure to add them to my calendar if and when I become aware of them so that I can wish my special “Cathy’s Corner” friends a really great day the next time it rolls around. More changes are coming to G.C. soon but what those are, no one seems to know just yet. Hopefully one of them is to restore our ability to add images again so that I can go back to including nice pictures to go along with my “Happy” messages - just like I used to be able to do. In my opinion, that’s what made them really special! :)
Hello and Happy Tuesday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really great day today! :-)
Thanks, lightenup and QuietStorm27 for the wishes and to Mom for taking such good care of us!! I hope you’re right about some positive changes to GC…it’s always fun to see your sweet pics!!

I also agree that children and pets need clear boundaries, anything else leads to chaos.

Somehow, before reading today’s strip, I sensed that an AACK was coming. Then, lo and behold …
HI, MOM. Greetings, “Cathy” Clan.
