What do you do with your pets when you want intimate time solo or with a partner? Shoo them out and shut the door or let them watch?

My dog is not allowed in my bedroom at anytime so he sits outside of the door moaning. It's disturbing.

Hey, they'd do it in front of you without a second thought

When we had our cat (RIP), she was locked in the garage. Too far from the boudoir to hear the noise.

With the dog (RIP) stairs we're blocked off and he slept all the time.

In other words. Don't worry. They don't know.

Realised one day Alfie had a viewing platform. It got moved away real quick!

Definitely have to do your own disturbing moaning back at the dog to assert your dominance. Shouldn't be too hard given the activity 😆
