Tell your dog I said Hi... Coffee Mug

Picture this scene... You’re holding your new adorable, coffee mug, sipping in delight, when your dog walks in. You glance down at the mug, then at your dog, and suddenly feel the weight of responsibility. You clear your throat and say, “Hey, uh… the coffee mug says hi.” Your dog stares at you, unimpressed. “Really? The *coffee mug*?” they seem to say. “Not you? The *coffee mug*?” You try to explain, but it’s too late. Your dog has already judged you for being the middleman in this awkward coffee mug-to-dog communication. Now they’re side-eyeing the coffee mug every time they walk by, wondering if it’s plotting something. Meanwhile, the coffee mug just sits there, smugly. It knows it’s the real alpha in this relationship.
