i effing hate my dog.
he pees/poops in the house. he does it out of spite. before you tell me "dogs don't know spite," oh yes they do.
he has doggy anxiety. as in, you cannot laugh too hard, or he will go nuts barking. he will run into our bedroom, jump on the bed and TURN THE FAN ON. he has almost pulled it out of the effing ceiling.
if we laugh or giggle too much with S, he tries to "break it up," and barks at us.
his only redeeming quality is that he is good with S. nicer to S than he is with anyone else.
too bad my DH loves him despite all this crap. i wouldn't mind if the stupid thing got carried away in a hurricane.
Re: mean, ugly, nasty, FFFCish vent
orly? i had no idea!!!
the stupid thing is smart as all hell. he came from a shelter and had a rough life before. he needs a xanax. he can sit, stay, "give me your paw," speak, whisper, speak up, and roll over.
he is scared of something from his past life. call cesar for me.
I can't believe you said that! Dogs are people too!
Oh, wait--not they're not. They're dogs.

I have a question for the strenuous objectors to de-dogging your life.
How is it fair to a dog to be in a situation where someone hates him? I wouldn't want that for myself. I think finding a new home for an animal that isn't liked in his current situation is kinder than having somebody in the house waiting for the beast to die so the last of the dog hair can get cleaned out of the carpet.
Of course, this is also my feeling about the troll in my basement, so I may be projecting a little.
i am so sorry my dog's misbehavior/DH's awesome job affects you in such a way.
That's tough. Has your dog always been high strung or has it increased since your LO was born? If it's a newer thing, maybe it will ease up over time?
lol i am sure she will miss your presence horribly.
do me a favor, if you read my posts, stop. i'm even more miserable. but i'm not so much a train wreck as a 40 car pile-up.
idiot.?

Oh Lori, you really need some sort of guest house far, far away for him...
ALWAYS. he actually calmed down a little bit with DS. they are BFFs. my FIL wants to take the dog (because he lived with them for a little bit), but DH refuses. i have no idea why--they barely spend any time together. i do all the caretaking.
1) Who is Cesar?
2) Obviously he needs training if he's using the bathroom in your house. That is disgusting and something that needs more attention than just a xanax. Yay that he can do tricks but the fact of the matter is that he sh!ts in your house and that should be addressed by his vet or a trainer, or both. Maybe then he can get over his past life. My shelter dog was abused to the point that the police had to take him away from his owner and he sat in the shelter for 5 months pending court orders for his permanant removal from his owners. He had terrible anxiety at first. He was never house trained when I got him at age 2. He's a hyper pug... but he certainly does not poop or pee in my house. I put a lot of effort into house training him because I would never tolerate an animal peeing or pooping in my house.

I think of you more as one of those accidents where a Chevette slides under a semi and gets its top ripped off but everyone walks away miraculously unharmed.
cesar millan, you idiot.
and he poops like once a week when he is mad. do you think i just let it sit there? the smell wakes me up in the middle of the night. i get up & clean it or DH does.
at least i'm not the person who let their kid play with dog poop while i was on the nest. THAT is disgusting.
ETA: he IS housetrained. i watch him poop every night before we go to bed. he runs to the back door multiple times a day. he is mad at us for something. look it up, dogs act out.
i
you today for this?
LOL
She is...she is a troll. I've been to her bridge. It's very nice actually.
I hate my dogs too. I wish we had never gotten the second one. I just don't have the energy for them anymore and the annoy the hell out of me.
For the Record - they are still well fed, groomed and taken care of. They still sleep in bed with me. So before you go crucifying, just keep it in perspective. They are dogs. I am not torturing them or anything. I just don't really like them that much anymore and I have regrets.
seriously. i am not mistreating him. he gets his iams weight control twice a day. gets a snausage when he "makes dookies" outside, i throw his ball for him every day when i push S in his swing.
but the fVcker drives me up a wall. and he knocked S on his butt more than once today trying to get through a doorway first.
Lori - I've been a bit lax in keeping tabs on the troll in the basement. I can assume you and Fran didn't come to terms on the ::whispers:: you kill mine, I'll kill yours::/whisper:: situation?
You two really should chat about it, from a pay phone on Tuesday when no one is around.
Yes, that's right, I LET my daughter play with dog poop. I'm too cheap to get her toys.
if you read all the responses, you would see he gets exercised daily. when DH is home, he gets a walk in addition to the running he does in the backyard.
he is ANXIOUS. not hyper.
I'm going to go all middle school and say, well, no duh. The problem is, there aren't new homes. You know how shelters are like, full of unwanted animals? How do you think they got there? Owners deciding that they either made a mistake of getting the animal to begin with, not willing to put the time or money out to properly train the dog or get it proper healthcare, or got married and their spouse didn't want the animal. They ask friends if they know anyone who wants a pet, put ads in the local papers, etc., and no one responds. So, the final destination for the animal is the local pound or shelter, where it will eventually be put to sleep.
we might have the same dog... seriously... but I do adore my little doggy prozac taking mutt!
(is it wrong that I am humming the cyclone wizard of oz music... ?)
However, we've had people get all "Oh no you can't do that!" about someone who is re-homing an animal to another home. A home they know. People they like. It's not just when someone gives up and heads for a shelter. It's anytime someone admits the situation isn't working and tries to remove the animal from the situation.
