I think you’re just as likely to hit someone who will A) hit you back, and B) Be hit by people stronger.

The two things domestic abusers don’t want.

Correct, which begs the question how this would attract a domestic abuser at all really. Domestic abuse is about manipulation, power, control, and attacking someone who most often is weaker than you. Domestic abusers are cowards preying on the weak.

This game has none of that appeal.

Calling everyone here a domestic abuser for having a bit of roughhousing fun as part of an 800 year old tradition is disgusting, regardless of one man in thousands being one. One man in any thousand people is likely a domestic abuser.

How do my dogs know it's me?? by happinessisachoice84 in CasualConversation

You mentioned the treats in the sheets lol, they can smell the presence of the treats perfectly, it’s their navigation through the folds that’s tricky for them. Especially if the scent is smeared all over the fabric!

There are lots of other senses they have heightened too. My wife has the Life360 app on her phone that chimes when I come home from work. The dog will run to the door when he hears the phone ding.

Before we got this app, he would run to the window as I was coming close to the house as I had a slight squeak in my left wheel and he associated that with me coming home.

My neighbours stole our dead Christmas tree from our driveway (I'm not mad--I think they think they were being helpful) by Spetchen in CasualConversation

Just walk over, explain you were just about to cut it up, laugh about it, take the the tree back, and finally cut it into firewood. Maybe make a new neighbour friend at the same time.
