I have to get after *both* dogs about not being in traffic pathways.
Briana will try sleeping sprawled in the middle of the bedroom, which is
where I have to walk to get to the toilet in the middle of the night;
she's learned to wake up and get the heck out of my way recently,
though. Miranda had to be told to move when she was sitting in front of
the bathroom doorway (door was open) earlier this week.
They've both learned *not* to be right in front of me when I'm walking
lately, though, as I've kicked at least one of them (due to not *seeing*
her over my belly). Now, if I could just get Sammy to not try to insert
himself between me and the kitchen counter when I'm doing something in
the kitchen, I'd be set....
