sometimes i feel the same way nala is kept behind a baby gate and the end of the hallway, she gets to come out when the other dogs are put up or sleeping but my family (meme is the worst!!) will pick her up and think for some reasons that nala will sit in their lap which of course never happens then I end up having to chase her before she gets her head bit off by the other dogs. i've told my meme so many times don't let nala down around the other dogs koko will BITE her (koko is very old) but she never listens EVER
