Harvey isn't happy.
He happened to notice that I had a new signature for my emails: I call myself 'Writer and dog-owner.'
Now I thought he'd be glad to get the recognition but nothing of the sort. He is quibbling over semantics.
Yes, you are, Harvey.
He says that I do not own him; we simply share a home. I pointed out that money was exchanged in order for him to share OUR home, but he claims that doesn't make any difference.
He says he is an individual, a dog in his own right, and that the United Nations Charter says that no one shall be owned by another.
I pointed out that we provide him with food and a place to sleep at night, as well as pandering to his every whim. He referred me again to the United Nations Charter of Human Rights.
Ah ha, I had him there! 'HUMAN rights!'
He looked at me, 'There's no need to shout! Your point being?'
'You're not hu...' I stopped. I couldn't disillusion him. I sighed. 'Okay, I'll change it. What would you like me to put?'
He had a think. 'I don't know. I'll need to think some more about it.'
He's going to tell me later.
