Hi Andie, Just ignore them, do the wash and the towel dry and if Steamboat wants to be pouty about it for two hours don't play into it by trying to persuade him to love you again with treats. Berners hate to be ignored so quit the bribes and dollars to doughnuts he'll be seeking contact with you soon enough, then give him praise. Just a little, you are the King of the Hill not him!
