The MP Dog Park

The Hemp Goddess · Mar 15, 2013

This is the MP Dog Park--a place to show off your buddies.

This is Bo and Sassy relaxing after a romp in the mountains. Bo (on the left) is a Border Collie Australian cross that I got the first of Feb from the animal shelter. They estimated his age at 4. He was a stray and was quite traumatized by the shelter. He is turning out to be a pretty great dog. He has obviously had some training. Sassy is really close to 14, but still incredibly healthy and active. She was part of a litter that was abandoned. I adopted her in 1998. I believe she is Border Collie crossed with some kind of heeler. She has never gotten over being somewhat timid. She is an incredibly wonderful dog never having discipline or health problems.

I also have an onerous Welsh Corgi that is about 12. I don't have a pic of her on this computer, so will snap one later. The previous owners put her up for adoption because she was jealous of their new baby. I adopted her in 2001 or 2. She has diabetes and is blind, but still gets excited about walks and life in general.

I live alone and my dogs contribute a lot to my life. I know that I will have dogs in my life as long as I live.

Here's the new psycho rescue dog. All I can say is I know damn good and well why someone would dump him at the pound. He's been nothing but a nightmare. Don't let they smiley charm fool you. He thinks the world revolves around his stomach and he's a sneaky prick. I either go to sleep in peace knowing that something will be broken and torn up when I wake, or I get no more than 45 minutes of sleep a night from him howling like a crazed rabid chimpanzee, if I put him in a enclosed crate or even in the laundry room. I am at my whits end. I could use a good cry. I miss my good dog and good cat and my happy home. I truely need help with this dog. But I honestly don't think a stupid Petsmart obedience class will do ANY good. The only reason I took him was because he was having a meltdown at the pound and went from a sweet wagging tailed dog to a growling snapper in three days. It took 20 minutes and a hamburger patty to get him to let me pet him once he was out of that cage. So I was SOOO sure there was a dog worth saving under all that fear. I don't know now. Lack of sleep and frustration and counting all the damage has me wondering if he's worth the effort. This is the result of a human thinking it would be fun having a little cute dog, and putting ZERO effort into training him as a pup, then dumping him and his sister on the city. The sister was HW positive and preg with his litter at 9 months old. IMO if you dump dogs on the pound, you should never be able to own another dog. rant over.

OHC, that is terrible. I know your heart was so in the right place. I would cry too. How long have you had him? I know you want peace back. Is there a trainer in your area? Good luck, I was going to tell you smoke a joint, but maybe the dog needs one too. That has to be so frustrating.

So he screams in the crate? I know you and you have tried everything. A kong filled with peanut butter (and valium, kidding)/

Knuckle bones are wonderful for a couple of hours of quiet and they don't need their teeth cleaned. Big ones.

Does it help if you exercise the little ^(% till exhaustion?

Probably needs a playmate OHC. We had some mini beagles over the years and they were all wired to the tilt. But having a playmate fixed that for the most part. Last one we got a cat. They would play wild and run all over the place. Then when the cat got fed up, hed toss that dog a thumpin and hed calm right down.

One beagle was a terror. So used my version of the rolled up newspaper trick. I put something on one end that they didnt like the scent of. And when acting up to bad. Id grab a hold of her and pat her nose repeatedly. Not hitting, just easily patting in annoyance. After that, anytime she acted up Id just show her the paper and shed calm right down. Every 6 months or so Id have to reapply that method. But it worked.
Just grab her under my arm. And start patting easy. Shed be annoyed and be moving her head all around. Just keep on patting for a bit.

The rescue that is teaching me reverse psychology, She will be two years old soon.

The new baby, looks like I moved or he is possessed, but he is a very sweet runt of the litter.

This is our oldest guy at 10. He had surgery last week. But before that he has been our healthiest dog ever. He is a big boy..

So after a few sleepless nights and a few xanax, my **** head rescue made it through the night without his cone and outside of the bathroom. When I woke from my fog 11 hrs later, I was surprised to find no damages (so far). I was seriously having chest pains yesterday from days on end of nothing but being pissed 24/7 and very little sleep. Today I'm hopeful and havn't once imagined how satisfying it would be to choke the life out of the idiot.
Here's my other dog, Boo. He's really been a help with the rescue. He's a great mediator. He knows exactly what's going on and he knows when I need a lick and a snuggle for encouragement. Dogs are really freakin awesome when they tune into you. When I let the crazy rescue out of the bathroom mid morning yesterday, he promptly humped the hell out of just to put him in his place. Then he dragged him by the ear out the doggy door to give me a bit of space. Today they're running around the place like crazy. Boo loves a good chase. He's a most excellent chicken watcher and he loves his Kitty Cat and stuffed animals. He's my most ever favorite doggy.
