To be annoyed at my dog

[Dylaninthemovies1]

So, I’ve had a typical busy mum day today. Off out with toddler, lots of activities and tantrums. Then chores tonight until about 10pm (including walking miss cheekypaws!)

Anyway, this morning miss DDog stood staring at her bowl when I woke up, so I fed her, thinking she hadn’t been fed by DH. Spoke to DH at work and he confirmed he had fed her.

Her dog walker came to walk her and she refused to budge, lying upside down and being a right drama queen. As it was raining we let her off for the one day. At tea time I took her for a walk.

Then, when I finally sat down at 10pm she decided it was playtime!!! Stood staring at me making crying noises until I played. Every time I started to sit again the crying restarted.

Finally decided that’s it I’m off to bed. While I was in the loo she decided just to steal my bed! She was most indignant when I put her back to her own bed.

@PotterHead1985 poor wee lamb! Hope she’s getting extra treats and hugs

And she has now just stolen our sons lunch from his plate (he left it unattended, more fool him)

My dog doesn't like going out for a wee in the rain.
I have to push him outside, some times he tries to come back in when he obviously hasn't had a wee, so I say 'have you been?' and he looks shifty so I say 'Are you sure?' and he slouches over to his flower pot and casually flicks his leg out to the side very quickly in an obviously fake leg cock. Then he tries to creep back inside again.

He also told my DD this morning that I hadn't given him any breakfast. Another bare faced lie

My dog always poos in the garden after her breakfast, well I say breakfast but it's more lunch brunch as we're not early risers, and always has a playful moment afterwards.

It's almost like 'yay, breakfast and then a poo, life's good'. Is this normal?

*Don't know where that extra 'lunch' came from.

Beautiful dog OP.

She probably missed you when you were out.

When we had our ridgeback, dp would get all suited and booted for the rain, open the front door and ddog would look at the rain, look up at dp and give him the most disgusted look, turn around and go and get back on his bed (a three seater sofa). He would put his front paws over the arm of the sofa, rest his head on them, and close his eyes. You could call and call his name, his ears would twitch but he would refuse to open his eyes. The moment dp sat down, after taking everything back off again, he’d open his eyes, get up off his bed, and go and have some food. I miss that silly beast more than I could ever explain!

Our princess doesn't do rain, wind, cold or mud 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mine also won’t go out in the rain at all so I didn’t walk for 2 evenings and he was a nightmare. Wouldn’t go out, wanted to play at 11pm. Squeaking every squeaky toy he could get his paws on, growling and barking at you 😭
He got a huge walk this morning and tried to hump a dog 3 times his size

We're very lucky she's quite happy with cuddles instead of a walk!

Op your dog is adorable.

Potter, hope your dog is feeling better.
They really do melt our hearts.
Love my little lady to bits and she gives so much love back.

@IsobelRae23 don’t you know ridgebacks are allergic to rain it actually kills them or so they all think?

Mine has to be pushed out the door and told quick pee whereby she will per right by the door and run back in, if it raining and you say walk she won’t even go into the room where the back foot in just in case. If she’s actually out and a rain drop lands on her precious head she tries to hide under my legs (she’s big) or just sits down and refuses to move or pulls me towards home. It’s a breed thing they are all big wusses

Love the window-is it a bay?

My dogs are the same. Give them an inch and they take a mile the wee buggers. With the cold weather starting to come in they are beginning to enter hibernation mode. Refusing to get out of bed for pee in the morning etc.

Oh! She is a Bedlington I am a sucker for a Bedlington, lovely sheepy face cloud like buggers they are!

@sweetkitty I love it!!! During the night, I’d wake up in bed and think ‘it’s cold’. Would go down stairs, ddog would be on his back on the sofa, all four legs in the air, snoring his head off. The porch door and the front door would be wide open. He could open both doors to go outside for a wee, he just couldn’t shut them on the way back in.

They are the most amazing breed ever. He was so protective of the children. If we were out walking and a stranger came towards us, he would make sure that the whole time they were passing, he was between the person and the children. Always. Also it makes and dp (he’s exdp now), we’re messing about and he started tickling me, and I started squealing, ddog would get between us, and push dp away. There was one time, ddog actually took hold of dp’s arm. He didn’t bite, but he was warning him to leave me alone. We would always have to make a fuss of him then, to show him we were only playing, we actually always said ‘only messing’, so he knew it was just fun. But so used to say ‘I’m the one that walks him 3 times a day, for 4 1/2 hours, I’m the one that feeds him each day, and it’s you and the kids he protects!!!’.

I so much want another, but I’m afraid that I’m going to expect him or her to be the same, and I know they won’t. How old is your ddog? We lost ours when he was 12 during an operation 😔

@IsobelRae23 she’s 6 now and scared of everything although she does hers is all on walks to make sure no one gets left behind. She is my shadow and follows my everywhere, the cats beat her up though.

@diddl. Thank you! It is a bay window! Isn’t it gorgeous! I can’t take the credit for the window, some person 140 years ago made it lol.

And I can’t take credit for the photo either; our dog walker is multi talented and takes the most beautiful photos of the dogs on her walks

So sorry for those of you who have lost dogs. This is my first ever dog. I dread the day she passes. DH has had dogs his whole life and is devastated each time one passes

@Witchofzog. She is indeed a little beddie! We don’t have “papers” to prove it though. We bought her from a family in Plein in Scotland. They weren’t official breeders; just a family with lots of beddies. We met her mum and dad and the rest of her family when we chose her

Ahem: when she chose us

A family with lots of Beddies? I demand their address immediately! Sounds like heaven to me

YABVU! I suspect you are neglecting Her Highness and she’ll need to come and live with me! ;)
My little princess literally was born in a barn, she’s rough and tough and working bred. But when it rains she pretends to be asleep rather than go out, I have to bribe her with treats to get her to the door.
