My bedroom is the only carpeted room in the house too. She gets along with our cats and in fact ignores them, but they turn into instant bottle brushes when she gets anywhere near them even though she has never bothered them. She is 11 yrs. old and has recently developed liver and thyroid problems so she is getting a little slower and chunky. When she finally does go to doggy heaven I will be beside myself with grief. She is the sweetest little dog you would ever want to meet. I would not trade her for anything in the world either.  |
We are thinking about crating her, I just dont know what kind of life she had before me (again another "lie") for all I know she was in a crate her whole life, one lady at the shelter told me they got her from PG county Animal Control and another lady on a different day told me she was an owner surender (and both times they couldnt find her file) only because they told me she was at a foster home and the foster had her file, but I made four suprise visits in addition to the two scheduled visits and each time she was at the shelter and not the foster, sooo.......
I just keep trying to work with her, we have a bissell spot bot and we are seriously getting our moneys worth out of it, but it does get on your last nerve, especially if we walk her in the morning and then are on the way out the door to work and all of a sudden you either walk in a nice little wet spot or smell an awlful stench (like this morning).
I wonder what it is about them that makes them just do what they want? I think she will get along with the cats, and usually the cats are pretty cool with the dogs I have had in the house, but she has tormented them through the bedroom doors, it will take a bit of time to get their trust. She has been "attacked" by two of them so far, but every day I try to introduce them for a few minutes either before or after work and hopefully within the next 10 years or so they will get along! lol
I'm sorry to hear that your doggy is having health problems. Actually one of the reasons that we decided on her was after reading up on them, they seem to have very little health issues, other than my girl being slightly overweight (when I got her she was 16 pounds) and she I have had her she has gained 3 pounds, my vet said to put her on a diet!
