She is being a real pest today… barking, growling, getting into trouble… ever have one of those days when you wish someone would let your dog out? what does she want? she’s been fed, walked, belly rubbed, check check check… chewed up two bones, we watched a movie together and she even got some popcorn, jumped on the trampoline, not allowed, slept on the couch, not allowed… she had fun with her kong toy, for about five minutes, when she’s inside, she wants to be outside, when she is outside, she wants to be inside, ok, she’s bored and wants to run and play and can’t yet, so what can I do, dog? I saw a coyote in the hills above the house this morning and when I left I did not leave her out in the yard… and this is the thanks I get, sheeeshh… It’s days like this that I say, anybody wanna dog?
A friend and I were talking about how dogs are like kids and how you just have to let go… ok, I surrender, I will lie on the floor and let her slobber all over me… somebody let my dog out… my inner canine says woof woof woof… she is whining now… can’t she just go back to sleep? nope, she’s climbing on the bed… ok, I let go, I surrender, ok, dog, you win… the vet at Best Friends Animal Society is studying dogs rescued from a puppy mill in Virginia to determine if dogs have feelings… well, my dog does. when she is mad at me, she puts her head under the bed and woofs/cries or barks, depending, to let me know that she is very dissatisfied with me or that her feelings are hurt or ??? your guess is as good as mine. any ideas, I’d be happy to entertain solutions…
Now she is doggy dancing on her blankie trying to find a good spot to lie down on… chewing on something, the other day she decided if I wasn’t going to give her whatever it was that she wanted, she would just have to do something bad, like climb the stairs… that accomplished, she got a Big No, and no attention, no treats… exasperating, soon she will likely lie on her back, become all cute again, and give me the alligator mouth… awwwwww… anybody, wanna rent/adopt a dog til then???
