My mother’s dog, called Julie, lives in the same room and shares the same bed with my mother. She occupies the ground floor of my parental bungalow. She follows my mother wherever she goes and likes to eat salty things in the morning for a breakfast, which needs to be served by my father (this is a habit similar to my mother, who does not feel good unless papa serves her food).  My mother retires to bed around 8.30 pm and after that she does not particularly like anybody switching on the TV.  However, the TV prime time starts by then and the children come to her room to watch their fav shows (different children like different shows and they would like watching undisturbed), because that is the TV which is not engaged.  Now, Julie will sneer at these attempts, and although she can not protest it straightaway,  even though she shows her teeth to the younger ones, she attempts a bite at the slightest provocation, expressing her displeasure.
