I tried to get Dougy interested in play. I mean, when he gets onto the recliner, that’s usually his signal for playtime.

His response went from indifferent to very cold!

“No means no!”

(Not to worry. A short time later he was very playful when I changed from tempting him on the recliner to dragging it under a pillow. He love, love, loves diving under things to get to his “prey”!)
