John Has Fallen from Grace

John decided to sit in the recliner with Petey. They've done this for years. Petey jams himself in between John and the arm of the recliner. Petey loves it. John tolerates it. If John wants to sit in the recliner he has to share.

Lately, though Petey has claimed the recliner more and more for his own. So, just a little while ago when John decided to have a seat, Petey set up a howl. He was yelping like he was hurt, but there is no evidence of an injury. He's not bleeding or limping. But Petey is mad and pouting and John is trying to make up with him.

John is actually in the recliner right now. Petey walks around looking forlorn and making sure John knows that he's unhappy. We could have an interesting evening ahead.
