The Patience of Baz Dog

As I was cooking dinner the other night, I had to sternly tell Aubrey, "Aubrey, don't drive over the dog (with your scooter)!" Poor, patient Bazarov. She has been the receiver of much Aubrey love over the past year. I began thinking back on other "do not's" that have surfaced between Aubrey and the Baz Dog.

"Aubrey, don't sit on the dog!"
"Aubrey, don't pull Bozzie's tail!"
"Aubrey, don't eat Bozzie's food - your dinner is coming!"
"Aubrey, please don't lick the dog's tongue!"
"Aubrey, be GENTLE! Don't hit the dog! The dog is not a drum!"
"Aubrey, Bazarov does NOT need to eat play dough, nor do you!"
"Dude, Bozzie's back is not a train track!"
"Be careful! the dog is not a bridge for you to crawl under!"

Aubrey's response: "hah, hah, huh, hah. DOOOH, dah, DOOOH dah!"

Bazarov just gives me that look that says, "Save me!"
