You are quickly approaching “Canine Non Grata” status in this household.
I posted a thread in IMHO recently and I’ll recap: Zita is a 5-year-old Longhaired Chihuahua, female, not fixed, and she’s shitting and pissing everywhere.
Ergh… that was not my whole post.
To continue:
People in that thread recommended crate training. Well, I tried that tonight, and “crate training” and “me getting any fucking sleep at all” do not go together, appearently. The crate is in the closet, about 2 feet from my bed, and all she did was whine and bark and rattle the cage. At first we had the other dog, 10-year-old Poodle/Shitzu mix Ricky in with you, and he barked and growled until I decided to let him out. I thought with your bed and your fuckbunny in there, you’d be a happy dog, but no. So I let you out, and I get up five minutes later to use the bathroom, and I step in your fresh poo and puddle.
Jesus Christ. You know I don’t want you to do this. A week or so ago, I took you outside, put your food and water up for the night, and not five minutes later I come out to find you sulking and fresh turds in the dining room. Honest to God, you know it’s wrong, you know I don’t want you to, you see Ricky poop outside and you see me praise him and give him treats. Put two and two together, you fucking nitwitted dog!
Is it because the carpet is brown, and it looks like dirt, so it must be okay to poop on? Well, let me tell you something else about the carpet. The landlord installed it just before we moved in, and wants us to keep it in good shape. If it’s damaged, I lose a $775 security deposit. Let me put that in terms you can understand: That’s years of food for you. That’s money we might need when we move out of here. I’m already paying Sears $110 to clean the carpets on Friday, and that’s a large chunk of change at a time when we need to be budgeting, but I can’t get the fucking stink out of here any other way.
I am rapidly losing my patience with you. Learn to poop outside like Ricky, or go back to Kansas City to live with some other part of the family where you’ll either get to roam acres of backyard with the other whiny dog, or the house will be so messy they won’t give a shit if you crap on the floor - in fact, it’ll probably cheer up the place. Get in line, or get out.
SanibelMan…I hate to break this to you, darling, but I think crate training is a have-to with this dog. I know. I know she barks and whines and screeches. My god, trust me–I know. With that said, do not let her out. If she keeps you awake, put the crate in another room. If your bathroom stays warm, put it there and shut the door. You’ll feel bad, but do it anyway. Trust me–she couldn’t give more of a rat’s ass if she’s crated in the closet, in the bathroom, or on the roof. She’s just pissy because she’s crated. After two or three nights, she’ll calm down.
Good luck. You have my encouragement (condolences)!
