Me: Go in the other room. No one will bother you.
John Henry [as he comes closer]: BARKBARKBARKBARK...I AM VERY LOUD AND SCARY.
Me: Go away or I will take it away from you.
John Henry: BARKBARKBARKBARK...I don't want to BARK at you but I can't help it because I am standing right next to you telling you to LEAVE ME ALONE.
Me: YOU ARE VERY ANNOYING. GO AWAY.
John Henry: BARKBARKBARKBARKBARK
Me [after about three rounds]: Oh, right, yelling doesn't actually work. [Takes him to the other room and asks him to stay]
John Henry: All right. Now everyone is leaving me alone. [quietly chews his bone]
Bille: You are all very silly.
