The truth about cats and dogs

18 February 2008 at 11:57 pm (dogs and cats, pig ears, spankings)

If the cat is twenty pounds and fully intact, the dog learns her place real quick. LMAO! Daisy really just wants to play, but Shadow - at nearly ten years old - is so over playing. He’s a good kitty and tolerates her licking for as long as he can. Then he smacks her on her nose - without claws - and moves on. Only problem is Daisy doesn’t seem to understand that the walking away isn’t incentive to play, LOL. She got a real nose spanking from Shadow this afternoon, poor baby, and whimpered away to her kennel. I gave her a pig ear as a conciliation prize, LOL!

What about you guys? Any of you have more than one species of pet?

Smart dog or…

14 February 2008 at 1:52 pm (pets) (, , )

ROFL, okay, I haven’t had a bit of problem with Daisy doing her business except outside. Until this last week. Here’s where I say she’s either smart or… LOL!

She has twice pooped in the bathroom, which of course is where we people do our business. She has also gone twice near the kitty’s litter box out on the back porch. Now, of course I show her that’s not appropriate and remove her offending poo to the outdoors. From what I understand, GSMD(greater swiss mountain dogs) can be a bit difficult to housetrain, often not being completely trust worthy until nine months to a year of age. I’m a patient pet mom, but anyone have suggestions on how to reinforce outside that doesn’t include keeping her outside all the time?

Just for extra info, I feed her twice daily, strictly. Meaning she eats all the food and the bowl is removed. Twenty minutes later, we go outside and stay out for a minimum of twenty minutes. It’s pretty cold here, so I can’t really handle much more than that, although Daisy with her double coat can - the rescue organization we got her from had her exclusively outside. If she doesn’t poo, I bring her in and watch her, but somehow she’s been sneaking past my notice to drop a quick crap, LMAO!
