Poor Roscoe:-/ i wouldn’t banish my dachshund for one little “grrr” I’d probably ask him “what is it, Limo?” (Everyone laughs but I think Limo -as in limousine, is the perfect name for an extra long doggy lol)
Having a medium size dog on your lab is like having something made out of an erector set try to cuddle you. A cat is like a big fuzzy pillow with no sharp corners. However, if a cat gets too comfortable, those little kneading, needle claws can hit you like an electric shock. :)
I was at a horse show EARLY one morning, and a doberman came running up and put her head in my lap. I started to pet her and she started to growl. I stopped and she rooted her head around in my lap, tail wiggling madly so I petted her again and she started to growl. About then a woman came running around the corner shouting “It’s OK, she won’t hurt you! She was raised by a cat and thinks she can purr.”
We had a dog that did it. The first couple of times he did it, we sent him out of the room. But his body language didn’t match the sound effects, and we figured it out. We called it “umbling” He was raised with cats, of course.

You gave it your best shot Roscoe. Shame it didn’t work out liked you’d hoped.

Roscoe, try a whimper and roll on your back. At least you might get a tummy rub or two.

Roscoe just needs to learn how to CORRECTLY roll his Rs.

Try sitting at her feet with Puppy Dog Eyes. A head tilt for extra credit.

Cats purr, dogs slobber.
The only reason a cat sits on your lap, is to steal the heat from your body.

Never use a dog’s crate for punishment.

Roscoe should nap on the lap with gentle snoring. Tail and leg twitching are fun additions.

A cat can even get away with biting others while a dog cannot.

Poor Roscoe, never lock up a dog they love you.

Sometimes you gotta settle for being let up on the couch. If you get my drift.

This comic today has double meaning. And lesson on how not to make interpretations too quickly as they may not be interpreting what you think.
Like texting people, they can misinterpreting assume too quickly.
Hugs to all animals big and small.
