Lenny the Viking above. I love the picture. The hat’s a little big.
Not much going on this morning. Good sleep compared to the previous two nights.Bought a new UPS yesterday. Went in and grabbed the smallest one, when I got to checkout, I could tell by the price, it wasn’t the smallest one. Oh well, bigger is better, right?
Dp you have a Uninterruptible Power Supply in your house? People seemed surprised when I told them my UPS failed in the night.
Have a great day!
today is possibly Daisy’s last day here we’ll see how the day pans out. I am very undecided and I am sure I will be regretting my decision whichever it is
Daisy was very good this morning. We walked right past her enemy dog and she didn’t bark or growl. Maybe I should give her more time to get her crap together.
Damned if I do, damned if I don’t . Flippy Floppy
Daisy has attacked Lenny 2 out of the last three days. On last night’s bedtime walk she was on the leash trying to get to the dog she hates that lives across the street. Last night she crapped half way up and down the staircase.
But she’s part of the family and I feel like still there must be some alternative to letting her go. I pray she finds a good home.
This morning Daisy attacked Lenny and there was blood droplets on the floor when I got there. This is the final straw. She has never showed aggression toward a person, (beside barking) but if she ever bites anyone it will be already too late.
Just now there was a noise outside and Daisy jumped up growling and Lenny jumped up in a defensive manner. Who knows? If I wasn’t in the room maybe Daisy would have attacked Lenny again just now.
Daisy failed her assessment at the dawgie day care yesterday. She was aggressive with other dogs. She can’t go back. Daisy is the aggressive one with the dogs across the street too. Daisy is the aggressive one when she attacks Lenny out of frustration. Tales of her aggressiveness caused a pet sitter to back out at the last minute, resulting in a wasted airplane ticket to Jamaica. You may remember that from reading it here.
She seems to be getting more aggressive as she gets older, a big negative
I have a higher ranking pet trainer coming this Saturday, but it’s not looking good for Daisy.
I have an advertisement running, looking for a new home for her. On the plus side she’s only aggressive with other dogs, not people. On the negative, if you’re in the way when she’s aggressive with other dogs, it might not be good. I’ve been bit “by accident”, trying to get her away from another dog she was attacking.
I feel like I’ve done everything I can do with Daisy and we’re reaching the end of the rope for her. She has never been a good learner and has never been a very trainable.
this makes me sad.
last night was a nice Seder. Good food. I remember last year, they gave us more than we could eat, this year was perfect!
the dogs got their shots yesterday, today I’m taking them to the daycare place for their entry evaluation. Daisy will be going probably twice a week to try to expel some of her excess energy. I have to leave for work a half hour early to drop them off.
this weekend I actually made some phone calls to find a new home for Daisy. She’s been here 5 years and still cannot walk on the leash without yanking my arm out she ignores me she is not learned the basics of living inside a house. She’s a very naughty girl.
But, I’ve had a change of heart, and I’m going to hire a special trainer to come in and see if any progress can be made in correcting her behavior.
Crazy Daisy Dukes better learn to toe the line.
Daisy has been under training for quite some time about her excessive barking. Last night the door was open, the breeze was blowing and Daisy was trying to not bark, but she was whining and pacing. She was being generally annoying about the other dogs we could hear outside, down the street and in the area.
Finally I had no choice but to put her in her kennel. Surprisingly, as soon as she lay quietly in her kennel, all the other dogs in the neighborhood shut up too. It was a perfectly peaceful quiet evening.
So my question is, was Daisy whining and making noises at the other dogs, or were the other dogs barking and making noise at Daisy? Is she the instigator?
It’s something to ponder.
Have a wonderful day!
Rainy morning today, we needed it. A cold front moved through very suddenly and quickly yesterday evening.
Heres some random pictures from the phone. My breakfast yesterday, fruit toast and raspberry banana smoothie (and coffee). Lenny, acting like he’s not watching me, and a picture of my Kindle, we live in the sky.
.Soon I’ll be headed off to work on a good day for working. Have a good week
