Have you managed to upset your dog this weekend

[Ineedwinenow]

Hi all, I thought I’d start a thread to I’d ask if you managed to upset or piss your dog off this weekend/today by just being alive!

Our girl had dental work done at the vets on Friday and Saturday she had a groom and now she’s no longer acknowledging me! It is quite funny as she has been going to my husband for everything she usually comes to me for but now we are on Monday and I know she wants breakfast but she currently has her back to me and hubby is at work! I am getting scowled out and sighed at when she looks at me! it’s been like this for 3 days now 🙈

So let me know what you’ve done to annoy your beloved fluffy no matter how insignificant so I’m not alone 😆

I am chuckling away at these replies! My little lady has finally decided she needs to go to the toilet but still doesn’t want a walk which never happens! She’s outside in the garden scowling at me! I really have ruined her life this weekend ….

After two years of ignoring the terrible matted grot tangles in Ddog's beard, because of the hysteria that ensued whenever they were addressed, I asked the groomer to bite the bullet and make free with the scissors. Result: puppy face, adoring humans, coos of delight, total sulk.

@RedHelenB - my previous dog was a good-natured soul, too. Never minded current dog pulling on his ears (whilst barking, due to the post being delivered), small children trying to strangle him with hugs (not mine...), and he'd always start his day by jumping on the bed, staring at me lovingly, then licking the tip of my nose - before heaving himself along the length of me in a "we have another 20 minutes before anyone else needs to be awake!" cuddle. He never nagged me. He never made me feel less than. He adored my son. And my current dog when she was a pup. And our elderly cats.

Yet despite being raised the same way, current dog has decided she's in charge and God help us if we dare to disagree (she's still giving me side-eye, and I can't help the fact that I had to get up yesterday morning! Yes, I am feeling guilty, Yes, I also know this is irrational!). Weird thing is, current dog knows I'm in charge, She's a rescue and frightened by many things, so runs to me for protection (so did previous dog). So I'm not dominated by her at all - it's just the bloomin' side-eyed stares and the sighing, the discontent because she's tired and grumpy!

Normally in a morning, she digs me out from under the duvet (it's very much a game) and although she reminds me to put my shoes and a jumper on, and makes sure my stair-lift is ready before I sit in it (then hops down a step or two in front of me to observe my descent), she is all for me getting up. Not on Sunday, though. She's fine in herself. Just sulking. But why?! I'll never know (sadly).

We took our sons friend with us to our caravan for the weekend and left our dog with his nanna and granddad so we could go to Alton Towers on Saturday. The dogs not 'spoken to us since we collected him and I think he will only forgive us when we take him to the caravan on Friday so he can have his packet of scampi fries in the pub as a treat!

I’m coming with him too if scampi fries are on offer 😆

@Ineedwinenow

They're his favourite ever treat! He gets a multi-pack for Christmas and birthdays!

We are going away for the first time without dog soon.

Let's get this straight, he's staying with family, on a farm with loads of other spaniels. It's basically going to be heavenly.

However....I can already predict the sulks!

Of course he won’t be happy! You could leave him in his very own doddy barkingham palace with the the doggy equivalent of Claudia Schiffer for company and having fillet steak and organic chicken hand fed every night whilst taking him on countless walks and round the clock cuddles, tummy and ear tickles but trust me as soon as you appear at said imaginary barkingham palace he will despise you and not acknowledge you for a few days! Good luck!!

Doggy not doddy*

Mine’s sulking (complete with actual whining) at the moment because I’m not giving him DS’s footy shin guards to chew on. He’s never allowed them, not sure why he thought today would be any different.

Update from yesterday ...

My female ddog decided around 6pm that seeing as she had now been fed and it was a bit cooler, I would be good enough to greet and we even played in the garden for a bit.

Non swimming Labrador got taken in for a swim, and he gets the zoomies when he is wet (he likes being wet, just not the process of getting there). So it was all fun and games and we were all mates again.

Fast forward to this morning. Found a tick on ddog, so off I go to the vet for more tick treatment. It's the drops that go on the back of their necks. Problem is that they cannot get wet for a day after the treatment has been applied and she decided that since I was cruel enough to douse her neck with this stuff, she needs to go wash it off. So now she isn't speaking to me as I won't let her go near the pool 🙈. Yesterday I was side eyed for suggesting she do just that.

It's 38 degrees so she has a damp towel to lay on. Not that she is, because there is a protest happening.

I think I can't win somehow. All will be well around supper time again though, I'm sure....

😆don’t be silly, you will not be forgiven nor will she forget ! I’m now on day four of being ignored! She’s definitely holding this grudge for a long time! I suppose vet one day and groomers the next is seen as abuse by her 🤦‍♀️

My husband is WFH today and she’s refusing to leave his office without him! He’s also by default on dog walking duty as she’s ignoring me which means I get to put my feet up whilst they are out for an hour or two - result 🤩

It's DH who's in the dog house with two of our three boys. He dared to groom them both the other day, they're older now and hate us even brushing them so they're very upset with him.

Our other boy wasn't too happy with me yesterday, I threw a biscuit for him but I completely misjudged where he was and it bounced off the top of his head. It took him a few hours before he felt he could eat the biscuit after that. He also wasn't happy when he was told he wasn't allowed garlic bread that DD had left from dinner.

We've also moved the furniture around a little in the living room so the secret corner he used to climb under a table to hide in isn't a secret corner any more and he's objecting by jumping up on the sofa and staring at me instead. 🤣

Spaniel here who has had a mini sulk every morning for the past few days. We have a few cows in the field and they are now having feed once/day before they go inside for the winter. Dog is scared of them so sits on the door step whilst i sort the trough and feed out, she moves so that she can just see me through the gate and then charges back to the step looking sulky, hates that another animal is getting any attention.

Also puts on a very sad face if she follows me upstairs and I run a bath (for me), she comes straight down and sulks on the sofa.

Mine doesn’t either, but he’s the first we’ve ever had that hasn’t made me feel guilty at some point 😂.

Mine is currently not speaking to me because we drove past the beach without stopping for a walk. We went to the woods instead as I’ve got loads of shit to do and I couldn’t face the sand/water mess. She wouldn’t get out of the car.

She also hates DH for at least 2 days after she’s been to the groomers. He takes her to work with him and the groomer picks her up from him at work. She doesn’t know it’s me that books the appointments, he gets all the blame.

Update - D(ictator) Dog has moved on from side-eyeing me... to refusing to even look at my son. His crime? He picked her up for a cuddle, and literally said "[DDog] you're putting weight on!" - and the filthy look she shot at him as she's hanging in the air, all four feet dangling. When he sat down on the sofa with her, she left... came to sit by me, instead. Is now side-eying the kitchen where he's crashing around sorting his third supper of the evening (and it's not even 6pm!) as if to say "you're talking about my weight?!" (he eats like the proverbial horse, but is tall and skinny... DDog is on a diet and aptly called "Chunky Puppy" by both children! It's the Corgi breadth, I'm afraid and her weirdly thick coat).

But to mention a lady's weight....?! How very dare he, the scoundrel!?!

Then again, he's also getting side-eyed glares from The Cat Who Thinks He's A Dog, right now, too, because he got out of his sick-bed to make a cup of tea and forage for half a loaf of bread and the last few chocolate biscuits. Said cat was not amused that his source of warmth and pillow to sleep on vanished for 5 minutes or so. Just long enough to insult DDog. I don't envy my son much at the moment. His cat's a vindictive little bugger!

Two things this week, tried to remove a stuck poo bit from his bum and even though it was obviously bothering him, I am NOT allowed to touch his bum!!!

When I am working from home 3 days a week I work in our bedroom and he just loves snoozing happily on the bed, but when my husband works away I work in his office and ddog does not like it at all, gets very annoyed....

We've moved house, and it's a significant upgrade from the last one (a garden! With grass! Not a concrete wasteland!) but it's a change and change is obviously never good in DDog's eyes.

But currently DDog is thoroughly unimpressed that the new sofa hasn't turned up yet and we're watching TV on garden chairs.

Last night I found him lying on my bed, under the covers, with his head poking out and lying on the pillow. He was most unimpressed when he was told to move!

😆😆😆 our dog didn’t appreciate moving house either!! Even though she has 2 acres of land and not a new build postage stamp garden! I have come down with Covid and in bed and she’s snoozing next to me so I think I’m forgiven ( her back is still turned away though 😆)

I use wet wipes as soon as she’s finished as she won’t let me hear it unless it’s to do glands! Fussy dog 🤦‍♀️

I've been under the weather and as a result tossing and turning in bed disturbing FlamingoDog ,as well as waking her up with my coughing and sneezing.

Overall she's been the perfect nurse but you can tell that she is very much on the day shift not they might shift

Are you sure your dog isn’t unwell? A grudge for a day maybe but not four, that doesn’t seem normal to me.

You’ve never owned a Lhasa Apso have you! They hold grudges! Sometimes for weeks!

she’s having a great time with my husband, let my leisurely walks, organic chicken and sirloin steak, regular treats, goes to him for tummy tickles (and everything) and happily chasing the foxes and squirrels in our garden! So nope definitely not sick or injured, just pissed off with me!

Long not let my *
