I’ve been up for about 3 hours now. printing photos of the nursery to take to miami. they’re dying to see it down there. Too bad my parents won’t be there. they canceled their flight because my step mother’s father is dying. He’s been in bad shape for months and months. I guess they must think the end is really near for him. I haven’t seen him in years.. i think since i was 25 which was in ‘97 or something. He was a good man. i say ‘was’ cuz he’s already gone. has not been himself for months. I hope my stepmother’s mother will be able to cope without him.
anyway, i’ll have to pour water on dennis in a little while to get him up from bed. I want us to get there early around 2 pm.
i’m having some amount of trouble with my two smallest dogs scully and bullet. they’ve been shitting in the house everyday now for like 3 weeks! I don’t understand it. we let them out about 4 - 5 times a day. which is A LOT for them and we don’t feed them any more than usual. WHY ARE THEY SHITTING IN THE HOUSE!!! pisses me off so much. I’m thinking of locking them in a cage at night or in a bathroom or something. every morning, without fail, there is anywhere from 1 to 3 piles in the house. AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! If only i could shove a cork up their asses. we’ve already cleaned and disinfected everything .. not sure what else to do!
It could be that they know a big change is coming and are anxious about it. I wish I had better advice than just reassure them that they are loved. You could be right, though, a little crate training might help.
Reply to springdewmaybe for scully, but crate training bullet is a nightmare. he is good at finding ways to get revenge. after a chewed up phone and chewed up computer (he chewed up the INSIDE of my computer - the case was open) and shitting and peeing inside his crate many many times, and not letting us sleep at night from all the barking and whining, etc, etc, we gave up, and just let them sleep in our room. but i won’t let them sleep in our room anymore, they keep me up.
maybe they are just anxious about the baby and just need time to adjust.
