Oh, and he peed on my $1000 matress, that was easily cleanable, but the feather bed on top of the mattress had to be professionally cleaned. I think Baxter owes me some money 
I really felt like he was the devil dog sent to terrorize me from HELL!
He is now 3 years old, and it is very rare he gets into anything, besides dirty clothes and paper--he just can't resist them.
Everything he did, just like everything your dog does, was MY fault, for not putting things away, and for not putting him in a secure place when I couldn't watch him. You really need an x-pen. You can put his kennel, pee pads, and food dishes inside there, and he will have everything he needs.
IMO, it is dangerous to leave your tog tied to anything when you aren't supervising him. He could get choked easily. |
well what i did last time he was tied/restricted was I hooked his leash to him and put the handle in the pantry room(which is tiny) and locked it to a certain legnth.. i would just give him enough room to not get to the couch which he would have NOTHIGN to climb up on. but I know he would freak out if he can't get to the door to tell me by.. he likes to stand by the door and watch me leave.
I normally close the bedroom door, i normally close the bathroom door and both times I forgot to he destroyed parts of it. I'mafraid to get the diapers because he does poop in the house when I'm gone, he does it on the linoleum which does not bother me that he does it because I work when I use to take himout for his 2nd potty of the day..
But I DO try to make it sohe can't get to things and somehow he manages to do it and I don't know how he does it I still don't know how he got up on the bathroom countertop, he couldn't use the toliet to get up and I have NEVER seen him jump that high, ever. He use to use the couch to get to the kitchen table so I moved the table over and the problem went away and I have to push in the computer chair from him to stay off the desk he still hasn't discovered he can stand on the cart beside the desk yet(it's part of the desk). He really goes out of his way to get into things and I feel better that other people have had the same problems and I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope things get better. I dunno how he's going to do when darrall gets home. He defended me against him whenever he first met darrall(I had him for a month before darrall got home) and then he got to the point where when darrall would approach him sometimes he'd pee out of fear or out of excitement..but with me he doesnt' do it.
I just really hope the baking soda helps with the vinegar smell because I hate being reminded of fair fries it makes me miss ohio.
and on top of his pee stress my husbands eye is forcing him to have to switch jobs which is a mandatory 2 year extentsion on his military status, which is fine I wanted him to stay in longer with the unemployment rates.. however we both have no idea where we're being sent now.
