aamusedinatxAfter posting the rant about the cats today...the Dork Dog has had her own day of trials and tribulation. This morning on our walk there was no business being attended to. She wanted to charge down the road for the next 8 miles smelling smells, pulling on the leash, growling at anything that moved and generally just being a butt. After ignoring commands from me to heel, to sit, to potty, I turned her around after 30 minutes and dragged her fat arse home. No potty, no doggie treats. I shut the door to the bedroom and the door to the livingroom leaving her and the cats free to roam the kitchen, hall and bath (all of which have ceramic tile or vinyl floor--easy to clean if you follow my line of thought). Her food and dog cushion are in the large kitchen so she could be comfortable enough.
I got home at 3pm fully expecting to have a mess to clean up. Nope...there were no accidents but Dottie was one ANXIOUS and happy dog when I got home. I immediately clipped on her leash and out we went. She barely made it to the end of the drive before she squatted and peed and peed and peed and peed and peed! We've been out twice since then this evening and the same thing.
I doubt she'll pull the hard headed stunt in the mornings again for a while. Mind you if she had made a mess prior to my getting home she wouldn't have gotten scolded much. I was simply doing damage control. Oh and when I arrived...Sammy was curled up in the middle of the dog bed :) Though I imagine he shared it with dottie, he's nice that way.
