Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Miss Manners: My husband thinks we need to thank our pet when it follows directions. Also: Is Miss Manners even real?My husband, George, insists that we thank our sweet puppy when he follows directions. I explained that I do not believe thanking a pet is necessary, but I would be willing to send an inquiry to Miss Manners, who is the authority regarding etiquette.
My questions for Miss Manners are: What is the appropriate amount of time for George to sleep in the doghouse, and does etiquette require that I eventually allow him back into our house?George is a brave man to take on both his wife and Miss Manners. But a foolish one to disparage the authority who was about to sympathize with him.
