Dog Blog: set backs and etc
well, we had our first real series of set backs. this happens.
Bella is spooked by loud or sudden noises (well i know she can hear) and was almost dead of a panic when wayne lifted a big trash can overhead. poor baby. she is still a little wary of wayne. she seems spooked but not panicky of men, loud kids, and crowds. but she still stayed calm on the leash, just unhappy... which is really pretty good! i suspect lack of familiarity plus crowds at the SPCA.. it was noisy there.
aaaaaand we left her alone for the first time yesterday.
we came home expecting disaster but it all LOOKED ok... we didnt find the problem until much later
head
desk
she had gone upstairs and PEED on the bed.
sigh
well, now i have to wonder if the fact that i had a comforter in her kennel was "i cant go in there, its a pee place!" or if she chose to pee on the bed as some kind of protest??? or it just smelled funny from Max being in our bedroom? or what.
not cool
oh well.
more walkies, more anti pee enzymes inside the house.
anyone want to contribute to the doggie fund?
i made contact with a Service Dog trainer... still getting details but its gonna cost some big bucks.
