So, the week is over and Snoopy is with her owner again.
It was a fun, albeit exhausting week. Taking care of two dogs, especially if one is Kaili, it's just insane.
Here goes a kind of synopsis:
1st day - Bath day, found out Snoopy has a type of fungus that needs a special shampoo and to go and buy it. Was out of the house for, like, 15 minutes and found Snoopy had peed on my bed. Had to yell at him and take him outside. Had to change the sheets. Finally time for the bath. Snoopy kept biting me and barking, which is not normal since I've already gave him a bath before. Had to confort him and he finally stopped. Found out the shampoo for the fungus smells horribly and doesn't help his coat at all. He finally calmed down after I started combing his hair. When I was about to change the sheets, caught Snoopy red handed trying to pee on a bookshelf in my room. Yelled at him some more and showed where to pee (outside). Kaili was insufferable, always trying to sniff him. When they were playing, Snoopy hid underneath my parents bed and couldn't get out. Had to lift the bed up and strained my back. Time for sleep, both dogs were next to me on my bed.
2nd day - Snoopy wouldn't leave me alone and Kaili would follow us everywhere. I took us 3 to a secluded beach. Left Kaili and Snoopy to play alone and "examine" the place while I set up everything. Called for Kaili, she came. Called for Snoopy, nothing. Went looking for him, nothing. I was getting nervous and started yelling for him. Nothing. I let Kaili sniff Snoopy's leash and she started looking for him. I went right on her tail and found him almost 1km or half a mile lying down and shaking. Scolded him for going so far away but was relieved Kaili and I found him. Took both of them to the sea. Kaili, as usual, just throwed herself to the sea and Snoopy ran away when water came near him (that last bit went on for the whole week). I tried training him by letting him go a bit far away from me and calling him. I tried for hour and a half, until finally he came to me and gave him a treat. Once again, now half an hour, then 10 minutes, then he came everytime (the next day he had completely forgot).
3rd day - Was a good day. Went to the beach again, I played with Kaili by throwing her her tennis ball. Threw one of Snoopy's balls... nothing. Again... nothing (5x). Gave up and just started running with them.
The rest of the week was ok. Snoopy was very frustrating at some points even if they were my fault a bit, but he's a very sweet dog. He just doesn't play and that's a bit sad for me since that's what I like most about dogs. And he just doesn't care when anyone calls him, which is a bit dangerous. |
