Big brothers and sisters everywhere share Typhoon’s pain of the older sibling curse—when a younger sibling interrupts you.

His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey likes being known as the Little Curmudgeon, the Grumpy Gus no one wants to disturb. Most of his complaining falls on deaf ears—both canine and human—but at least he can nap in the yard without interruption. Problem is he now suffers from the older sibling curse—a younger sibling who adores him and can get away with anything. Don’t worry about poor Roscoe entering in this photo. Despite the warning look from Ty, the two of them were chasing and playing seconds after this shot. Naps will have to wait.
