Of course they have no responsibilities and have two humans at their beck and call - especially this human.

There's a comic strip called "Luann" in the local paper. In one strip, she's sleeping, and her dog (which of course sleeps on her bed with her) starts barking, and wakes her up. It then goes back to sleep, and she's there with one eye open, obviously not going back to sleep anytime soon. When my one son has to be at work at 5:30 AM, his dog runs around stupid if she can't see any other people up. We've told him to leave our bedroom door open, but our other dog growls when she comes in, and then the wife yells at both of them.  Panic I'm going to tell my son to give me his schedule so that I can get up and keep his dog from going nuts until 6 AM. We don't let her out of the house until 6 AM, because the first thing she does in the morning is bark like an idiot. Before we put the blocking plate on the doggy door, she'd be out there at 2:30 AM, barking at the moon.  Tut Tut

Husband's alarm goes off at 4 am.  His movements wake Karm up.  While he's showering and getting ready Karm whines and whimpers till I get up.  Of course then the other two wake up to see what going on.  She barks at nothing and everything and you can't tell her to stop because she is deaf as a stone.  So, I get to be up well before dawn.

I am familiar with the scenario in the comic strip.  As soon as husband leaves for work all the dogs go back to sleep and I am up for the damn day.

When I was was working, the Maltese dogs (and the wife's chihuahua) pretty much ignored me when I got up in the morning. So, I was good to go at 4:25 get-up time, and my wife could sleep through the light under the bathroom door. She can sleep through (almost) anything.  Clap I wish I could.

Is it fair to say that Trump is/was the only president in recent memory who did not start a war with another country?
For a narcissistic sociopath, I'm very surprised!

Only because he was busy going to war with his own country.

The war was already here.  Trump just allowed it out in the open.

The Crown; they tried to make Prince Charles ugly, but I don't think they quite succeeded.
