.. Because at this moment i would cheerfully beat my dog around the head with a big stick! (i wouldn't really before someone jumps on me ..)
He's currently walking round the house whining, whinging, destroying whatever he can get his paws on and generally driving me up the flipping wall! He doesn't need to go out (only wants to check if the gates are open so he can leg it im assuming ..) he's been fed today (at the normal time ..) has an endless supply of toys to play with, plenty of water, his own sofa. Has been out several times today. So why oh why is he still playing up!?
He knows the boundaries, but day after day when he's in one of his tantrums he will test them. He's not allowed in the bedrooms but keeps running straight into them to wind me up (have actually had to put on child gates as he will force open shut doors) he usually doesn't touch the bin but he's just come trotting through with a load of rubbish so that's now had to be put up higher. He's knocked all my clean washing off the radiators with his pacing, everytime i walk past his bed hes launching off and into the back of my legs and knocking me flying (my balance is horrific!) and I've just about had enough of the whinge whinge whinge noise he's making!
This is all because my mums not home (she's the soft one, im the one that doesn't let him get away with murder)
God forbid the poor dog be left with me!
This is also the dog who has absolutely zero recall no matter what you do/where you are no matter how many times I've attempted to train him. After ending up on a main road for the second time we had to call it a day.
Will not be left alone (there wouldn't be a house to come back to believe me!)
Will steal whatever he can get in his gob, scare our elderly cat for no reason other than he can and jumps on anybody who comes to visit so their entire visit is spent with us telling a certain dog to lie down/go to bed.
I have quite honestly reached a point where i have no love for him anymore and as much as i hate to admit it i don't even like him, he's from a rescue so could theoretically go back to them to be rehomed
It was me who wanted a dog originally, did alot of research into the right breed, went through rescues to ensure the right match and spent a long time convincing my mum (still live at home)
Have spent a long time training him (to see it all go down the drain the minute my mum returns home)
Amazingly now its my mum who loves him and wont even consider him being rehomed
He's put me off dogs for life frankly.
Im sticking to cats in the future!
