Afternoon all
Just looking for a place to rant and rave. Have got a serious case of doggy blues at the moment...really beginning to wonder what on earth possessed me etc.
Started quite nicely with walk and play in the park. Holly and children well behaved (for once at same time). All hell breaks loose when we get home. Holly snatches daughters fairy wings off her. When i step in , she will not let go despitse offer off squeaky toy instead and being told Off! Just continues ripping wings to bits. When i take hold off collar to help me get them out off her mouth, she twisted onto her back with my hand still in collar and preceded to try and bite me. Not little play nips, but a real get off my collar snapping.
In the end i had to get son to fetch lead .. id only just taken it off her for walk so i could attach it to her and put her outside for time out. Darent leave her in the room in mood she was in but couldnt get her to feet. She didnt take kindly to lead and didnt calm down until she was outside where she barked at me a bit then calmed down.
I made kids lunch and she seemd to be calmer. Only to find when my back turned she whipped sandwich out of my sons hand . He was sat at table. So promptly told no and back outside again.
This seems to be a pattern at the mo. Everythinggoing well then... Wham! We've had to start keeping trailing lead on her in house as the snapping when you touch her in these moods has got so bad! At other timws she's a real sweetie but this snapping is really getting to me!!
Sorry guys to be such a moaning minnie (wow.. havent used that expression in years) but i needed a place to let off steam and hubbys had an earful already. I know ive just got to persevere with her and try and stay calm. Not as easy as it sounds though
Heres hoping for a better afternoon
