Cheering. I believe I have witnessed a double standard from Mom.
Let me explain. Mom watches hockey. She is very enthusiastic about the game, and when the team she is cheering for scores a goal, well, the “WooWees!”, cheers and yells are loud and in abundance.
There is laughing, and at times, a happy dance. Do not misunderstand, I enjoy all this activity with Mom. She dances weird, but it’s a lot of fun and I would not want it any other way.
However, when I see fellow animals on TV in commercials or shows and I bark with joy, or protest about what I see, at first it’s acceptable, but when I continue just a little longer, I am “shushed.”
Mom shushes me!
So, I was just wondering, don’t you think this is a double standard?
P.S. I will let you know what happens after Mom reads this…
“I was just wondering” is a light new Sunday feature on Sudbury.com from Finn, a Brussels griffon breed of dog, and his “mom”, Jaana Pirnes. Come back next week to see what Finn is up to. Got a question for Finn? You can email him at [email protected].
