Behavior Modification: Chapter XXXI

Simon and Schuster can be very entertaining.  Simon, as I have reported, likes to bury himself under a blanket on our sofa.  Schuster has discovered this behavior, and likes to harass Simon.  He gets on the sofa, uncovers Simon, digs him out, then chews on his ear until Simon attends to him.  Schuster sits on top of Simon and chews on Simon's ear as if it were a piece of rawhide.  Uncovered, Simon at first tries to keep sleeping, which, of course, is difficult when someone is chewing on your ear.  Eventually the two dachshunds end up on the floor, wrestling and chasing one another around the front room.  Watching them turns out to be more interesting than watching television, except, of course, when it's The Blacklist.
