Meow Meow. This is Gately.

Meow Meow.  This is Dog Gately.  I am writing this post to demand that I be kept in my dog-cage for a greater share of the day.  This will afford the magnificent Prince Myshkin greater freedom to roam the apartment unmolested, as is his right.  Also, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of two things regarding my feeding:  First, magnificent Prince Myshkin's food should not be left in areas where I might, through deviousness and cunning, feast upon it.  I should be forced to dine exclusively upon my own garbage-food, as is the rightful order of things.  Second, I should not be allowed to unearth and consume magnificent Prince Myshkin's feces.  It must stay buried.  It MUST STAY BURIED.
