Update on my Dog

Why not let him start staying indoors more often when he is all healed? Becasue he is too big! LOL Not to mention he loves to chew. He was laying in the floor last night watching the TV and just laid his little innocent head over and tried to chew the corner of my entertainment center! Nope.....not happening!.. I love him but he has to go out.....I think

Okay. Chewing furniture is a no no for me as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

The other thing about his being inside, one night you'll discover that he's in bed with you...and it gets mighty crowded with a large dog sleeping with you!!! With my mini Dachshunds it seems like I am sleeping on the edge of the bed constantly. Then of course I have four cats and three of the four love my bed because it is a heated water bed...what better place to have a long nap? So, I get whatever room is left between the animals. Thankfully I don't have a husband too!

First and foremost, how is your baby doing? Is he still in the house or is he well enough to be outside again? Hug him for me and tell him how happy I am that he's okay! Thank you so much for the best response! I seem to get a best response when I really need the boost. It hasn't been a good month for me, between finding out about the heart murmur and impending surgery (which I hope to be able to put off for a while) and then my best friend is having her husband and is going to divorce him...but in the mean time I am busily loaning them money right and left. My last $14 is going to them because they don't have the money to get his medications. I wouldn't mind except it is getting to be constant...I can't afford it because I am on disability income. I'm going to post another rant about it shortly...simply because I really need to vent the problem out! Thank you again so very much for the best response, it's like an early Christmas gift for me!!! (My finals were the second, I just finished up my last final a couple of hours ago...I have a whole month off!!! YIPEEE!!!!! I can clean house and sleep late etc. It's bad when you look at your break as being able to clean house !!) Thank you again for the present.

I'm glad I didn't take legal action too. I think it is all going to work out for the best. And as for him "staying" in the house....nope not happening! LOL He has been outdoors for way too long and anyway his mom would get lonely (she already is) if he doesn't rejoin her for a play buddy. And if they both move in I'm movin' on out! LOL Thanks for your response!

Of course it's a wreck, it's their room. You should see what my dog pen looks like. But they know the rules of the house & we're watching them.

I did check out your two and they are beautiful! It would be close on their size. But the only house dog I ever had was a yorkie and you had to watch close so you didn't sit on her! LOL Now you just pray that hero doesn't want in your lap! LOL My dogs have a room at the back of the barn that they stay in of night and I had already noticed that they are not good housekeepers! LOL The longer he stays in the more my husband is geting used to him. We'll see what happens! LOL

Ok he's not going to turn into an inside dog unless your husband convinces you. I'll lay off. A tire? He's that bad? Some dogs are just great chewers.

OK maybe I exaggeratd a little! LOL

Now listen up CatLady HE AINT MOVIN IN! A chew toy? You got any spare tires laying around? (j/k) I'm glad he is better too. He minds really well. We sent both of them to obedience training when they were young because Huskies love to run and we wanted to be able to allow them to run and not to get away from us. It's just hard to be stern with him when he is injured! Makes me wonder how in the world I managed to raise two boys! Thanks for responding and have a great day!

I'm glad to here that everything is working out then. Well, you take care of then all and give that dog a big sloppy kiss for me now. I think he mite be up for that. Have a great day. I'm So glad your Husband gets to teach the young man a thing or two. Have a wonderful Christmas Your friend onlydia

Hubby is in his glory! LOL He gets to spend some time with this kid and teach him some hunting safety rules. Both of my boys are grown so I think he is having a good time having a kid around again! LOL

Yes after a long talk with dad and the boy we returned the money and opted for him to come over after school and on Saturdays and do some work that we needed done. Also my husband thought it would be a good idea to teach him some safety lessons on hunting (his speciality! LOL) He was watching "Jingle All The Way" with us! LOL He would just tilt that head and perk those ears up like he was going to chase the people (which is his speciality...chasing! LOL) Thanks for your concerns about him. If he was younger I would change his name to "Lucky".

You're right. They are bred for the outdoors. I hope you get your pupy and enjoy. Get ready to get your excercise! LOL

Thank You Opal. I truly don't think he would be content inside. He is 2 years old and if you know anything about Huskies you know how they love the oudoors and love to run run run!LOL Although I will say he is getting more comfortable inside. He has picked out his own rug in the living room and goes to bed in the utility room of a night now! He doesn't hav the energy that he thinks he should have yet so he wears out quickly. Thanks for the response

Thanks for responding

Oh I'm not against dogs in the house. I had a yorkie for years. Huskies are just not a breed for indoors. First of all their size is a problem for m although some like bigger dogs inside. But thy are bred for running. I have to watch them very clos in the summer so tha they don't verheat. They just love to run. I truly don't think a Huskie would be happyindoors. Maybe if they had ben in all of their life but he is 2 years old and hehas never been inside until now. My hand is healing nicely. I have a nice little C pattern on the palm of my hand! LOL I don't know if you're familiar with Huskies or not but they do this talking thing and I have been showing my hand to him every day and saying sorry. Today he is working on saying it! LOL Thanks for your response

Thanks and I intend to win the battle!

Thank You. I have always said that you may not be able to control situations that arise in your life but you can control your reaction and that makes all of the differnce. Have a great day!

They are great aren't they? Thanks for responding

I have two dogs and have only been bitten once by them. I've been bitten many times by other dogs and cats. My puppy had her leg trapped in the door of her opened cage and she panicked. In her panic she bit my hand that was holding her leg. I was trying to free her and she was biting me out of fear. It was ok. I understood she was just a frightened puppy. I wasn't mad. I didn't react to the biting. I didn't get sick. Dog make good pets if a person has the time and money and commitment to take care of the dog for life. The life of a dog is about 10 to 20 years. They are expensive. They need food and medical treatment. It costs a lot of money. It also takes a lot of time to train a dog. After they are trained it is still takes a lot of time to keep them happy.

Well dehong some people don't like dogs. And usually it stems from a bad experience with one. Most domestic animals are not dangerous unless they have been trained to be that way. I got bit by my dog during this incident and as far as getting sick, I never gave it a second thought. He is up to date on his shots. But if you think about it..if someone shot you in the hip with a 38 you would probably bite someone too! Thanks for responding!

Thank you and thanks for responding
