I officially have the puppy from hell!!!!


not that you would know it to look at her, but really she has horns growin im sure of it!!

we had a good start to the week but it has gone downhill! the show we were supposed to go to was cancelled due to the flooded veue, so we opted to still go away in the wind and rain in the caravan as it was our first outing! we stayed with my future inlaws on the driveway, the dogs are well behaved here, which is good, even daizy didnt do anything awful! while we were there we needed to buy a new front door mat...daizy said ours didnt taste very nice!!


later in the week, ooo monday. went to training james and harry came too, although they didnt really want to! daizy was awful when i got her out to say hello and look around the barn, she barked her little head off at everything, then decided to get selenas attnetio....by nipping her leg!!! i was mortified!! luckily selena was ok about it ( albeit in pain!!) has made me have to do a drastic rethink of her training, and how i have been far too easy on her....no more mrs nice mummy!!!

tuesday....i had a letter complaining about the dogs barking when we leave them!!! arrrgh, im glad they let me know, as now i can do something about it !when james 1st moved in it was lovely as he worked at 2pm i was home at either 3 or 5, so they wernt left for very long in one hit, but at the moment is is working 9-5 or 6.30 - 2.30 so they are being left for longer in the mornings, this apparantly is when they are at their worst!!
as an easy solution this week they have all been coming in to work in the van!! they get a 15 min ball throw and pee in the park on the way into work, then i walk them and eat lunch on my lunch hour, before dropping them back home! have made a few alterations to how they are left too, daiz in her pen with her bed and toys, so she isnt constantly annoying meg, the oldies have had the chair pulled away from the window as they would use that to stand on and bark, they also have tv on and curtains shut!! the man who sent the lette has agreed to keep tabs so i know if its helping or not changing, so that we can try an alternative!!!

......hmmm i wonder if de-barking is expensive??!!!!;-p

blimmin dogs...who'd av em!!!!!!!



....me!

im taking the moo bag puppy to a new class tonight....wonder if we'll be allowed back??!

Interested to hear about what you're doing to stop your dogs barking. Our sofa is in front of the window and both Vince and Tess get on it to lie on the window sill / watch the world and bark. Have you completely moved your chair to another place? At least they have told you before complaining to the council or something. Couldn't they have just told you though? BTW I would put a radio on not the tv - much cheaper. When I first left Vince I put the tv on all day and then got a much bigger electricity bill! Soon stopped doing that - didn't realise it would cost so much!!
