We have been looking after BIL's dog 4 times ayear for the last 5 years (usually 7 - 8 weeks a year all in) We love having her and she gets on very well with ours. However our dog eats to live and she lives to eat!!
This time she is on a very strict regeime (sp) as she is on multiple tablets and you can see they are affecting her eg fur has gone thin etc. We do feel very sorry for her and she is getting lots of love but yesterday I did feel that love waver slightly - watching a box set with DH yesterday and after first episode go into the kitchen to find her upto her shoulders in our dogs bag of food. She'd opened the cupboard and pulled the bag off the shelf and had been happily munching for at least 20mins. Her tummy was like a barrel. (she has never done this before and we have moved the food)
This is in addition to the multple wees she is leaving everywhere. We are now letting her out on the hour, but still, the puddles everywhere are driving me mad.
We understand that this is totally out of charachter for her and it is because she is on tablets but still I have found patience waning but hey ho hopefully she will not be on the tablets next time.
DISCLAIMER we are not ill treating her at all and fully understand it is side affects of the tablets but just wanted to rant on here after cleaning up another puddle.
