18. My dog has a preferred bedtime, two hours after dinner.

So I have a curfew. The nagging is incessant. He keeps pretending he needs to go outside, then straight back inside to the bottom of the stairs. it's amazing how he can express 'demanding' and 'desperation' at the exact same time.

Then he tries to drink all the cat's water in the bathroom (he has his own fresh water downstairs, but you know it's not as good) and keeps trying to convince me to go to the bedroom.

I'm being nagged right now.
