Marvin normally sleeps on Dave’s pool table.
Tonight, he wasn’t impressed that Dave wanted to play a game of pool.

“No, Dave. You cant play pool on my bed. Pack up the balls & cues & put the cover back on so i can bloody well sleep. Hear me, Dave? I’ll make it impossible for you to play. I will.”
& he does.

People keep asking me how we got Marvin to pose for this shot. Here’s how it was taken: Dave racked up and began the game. Marvin jumped on the table and put himself in the way of the cue. I grabbed my camera. Dave put the cue down when it became obvious that Marvin really wasn’t going to move, and Marvin put his paw on it to stop Dave picking it back up. Dave walked around the table to stand behind me, waggling his hands to get Marvin to look at the lens.
Marvin loves my camera. And he adores preventing Dave from playing pool.
