morning! this is just a light hearted little rant but with a bit of back story so here goes
we had an Akita, we took her off a horrid low life person mistreating her and abusing her, trained her to attack people and dogs and kill cats, yes took her, I didn't ask I told him, I said I dare you to try and stop me I will report you to RSPCA and tell the police what you get up too, he tried to protest and threaten me but I got up in his face and told him of consequences if he layed a finger on me, and he backed down....i can be very persuasive and scary if i need to be despite my 5ft 5 height and skinny frame. I didn't even want a dog, i just didn't want a dog, I just believed he shouldn't have the dog, ( he was jailed shortly afterwards for dealing class a drugs and possession of a firearm) the dog was awesome, within a few weeks she was a different girl, loving friendly and socialised, eventually she had pups (4 years ago) we kept three, my old girl passed earlier this year, we did everything as the vet advised let them sniff her and lay with her before she was taken to the crematorium to register she had gone. her kids where very depressed and physically ill, over their loss and stress, to distract them and cheer them up DH thought a new pup would be beneficial, weighing up pros and cons off he went, though we both agreed it was too soon for us, we believed it would help the others.......and it did! my remaining girl became like a surrogate mother showing her the ropes teaching her all sorts of things, they are inseparable, and the boys are like very protective and playful surrogate uncles! brilliant!
now said puppy is almost 5 months, pretty much house trained had her first accident yesterday in about 3 weeks, she can hold through the night most nights, but currently she still sleeps in the kitchen (its big) she has a crate which is left open and always puppy pads down with toys for her to play with if she gets bored, 4 out of 7 mornings the pads are still clean, however, she wakes me up 5:30am EVERY morning to be let out. good girl.... my DH nor son can sleep through the noise I cant! we got her in July, I haven't had one lay in over the holidays I REALLY WANT A LAY IN!!!!!! just an hour 1 measly hour, i try to wake hubby he is dead to the world! he says every night wake me to sort her in the morning, I mean I could blast heavy metal he would sleep through it lucky bastard! so i am seriously thinking if i chew my arm off throw it to the pup to munch on for a bit i could get an extra hour in bed! thoughts any one haha!!
