Arguing with my dog

[spitfire926f]

So Kodama and Layla both got some new babies. A Mr. Bill that goes "Oh No!" when you squeeze him and a squeaky Santa. Koda LOVES babies (so does Layla, even though she's almost 13).  But I feel like I'm constantly arguing with Kodama about taking babies outside! He'll go to the door with Mr. Bill in his mouth, and I'll take Mr. Bill and open the door, and he won't go out, he'll dance around wanting Mr. Bill (or Santa) back. When I give him back, he'll want out again. He just wants to stick them in one of his treasure holes! 

Here's a video of Mr. Bill. He was a little before my time. And gratuitous videos of people arguing with their dogs.

Oh, I remember Mr. Bill, that was a long time ago... I'm glad Koda likes him so much! If he ends up in a hole, will Koda dig him up again? I've never had a dog that buries treasures.

Those two dogs talking are just a hoot! My Australian Shepherd talks to me in a low, soft Rrrr...rrrr sound, but his bark is very high pitched. And my little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel doesn't talk much, she just wants food and hugs and her soft bed. She is a princess, especially now that King Charles is on the throne, LOL! Together, they keep a close eye on those naughty goats of mine!

What would we do without them?

Heh, he doesn't actually "bury" anything. He just sticks them in his holes. He tried to take the mud mat off the back porch and stick it in one of his holes 🙄 He's a PIA, but so sweet and has such a good temperament. And he takes a lot of crap from my pugmix, that is probably starting to get dementia according to my vet. He's just a great dog, and I feel lucky to have him.

My mom's abusive, cheating ex has been around. The dogs were going nuts a few days ago. I looked outside and some guy in a big hat was walking out of the yard. I assumed it was someone who maybe just had the wrong house or something. No, it was him, sticking a letter to my mom in the mail box. It was all "I love you and I miss you, blah, blah, blah." This coming from the guy who bullied my mother, pushed her around literally, and whose girlfriend called my mom to warn her he was trying to get her to forge a signature to drain my mom's account of $20K. All this happened right before her terminal cancer diagnosis.

My guess is he's out of money. My mom was more like a mother to him because she had to be, he's useless. She's scared he's going to show up here but feels better now that we have Koda. That's part of the reason I got a Shepard mix. He's such a puss though, I dunno what kind of guard dog he'd be, but his bark is SCARY sounding, all German Shepard. Mom is convinced he'd step-up to any threat to his family. I hope she's right, but his size and bark might be enough of a deterrant anyway.

You have a fenced yard, right? Put a no trespassing sign on the gate, and if that jackass breaches that, you can call the police on a trespasser.

I had a pure German Shepherd that was saved from being put down because he was too nice to be a police dog. He was a love, but was intimidating from his side of the fence!
