My dog Blue is the Best Dog Ever.

Except when the Grown Son is around.

Then she ignores me completely in favor of him.

The Grown Son thinks this is hilarious.

Our last dog Wrigley used to do the same thing.

She would ignore me completely whenever my sister was around.

Last night we were all hanging out on the street watching fireworks.

Blue was with us.

She never gets upset by the fireworks.

Wrigley used to freak out.

But Blue doesn’t care.

Or didn’t care.

Last night, for the first time, she got stressed.

She tried to hide under the cars.

I sat down next to her, and she snuggled close, panting, and hiding her head.

It was time, I decided, to put her back in the house.

The Grown Son tried to take her, but she wouldn’t leave my side.

Ha – now he knows what it feels like to be ignored by the Best Dog Ever!

Blue was very happy to be back in the house and away from the chaos.

And for the rest of the evening, she ignored me in favor of the Grown Son.

But I’m not in the least bit upset by this.

I hope every dog I ever have ignores me in favor of the Grown Sons.

She keeps them coming back.

Good girl, Blue, good girl.
