I'm not sure what all this fuss is about voting. Pack leaders are born, not picked in my world. For instance... when Snickers was alive, he was my pack leader. Now that he is in dog heaven, I don't really have a pack leader. Linda pretends she is the leader, but I really run things in our house. I get treats by doing tricks, I get to walk when I bark and run in little circles at the front door, I get to snuggle in bed with her when I look cold and lonely. See, she may think she is the final decision maker.. but I am the the wizard behind the curtain.
