Very frustrated right now

July 12th, 2007 at 04:14 pm

If someone came along and wanted to take my dogs, I would seriously consider it. I don't think I've been this mad in a long time.

I went to a really great yard sale about a month ago. I found some new outside light fixtures, still in the boxes. One is for the front porch and the other two are for the garage. My husband went out fishing one day and there was a thunderstorn. One of the boxes was sitting on the stairs, and Shadow got her head through the gate, chewed throught the box, styrofoam, plastic, and the wiring of one of the fixtures. I was so pissed off! Now I either have to pay to get the thing rewired, or take a loss on all three. They're a matching set and the other two wouldn't make any sense without the third.

At the same sale I found a beautiful glass-fronted cabinet for the kids' bathroom. It can be hung on the wall and used to store all kinds of goodies. I had it downstairs in the living room, waiting for the day when I could get up there and paint and then hang it. I just love this cabinet.

Today I went out for a few hours and the dogs broke down the barrier to the living room, crapped on the NEW carpeting, went pee - also on the new carpet - and chewed a corner of this pretty little cabinet. It will be very hard to repair without leaving a noticeable flaw, if I can even fix it at all.

I am so angry right now! They knew exactly what they were doing, and that it was a bad thing to do. They were just upset and let us know.

    Thank goodness, baby toy poodles can not cause much damage.

    Has something happened recently to upset their routine? Are they ill...it is odd for dogs to start behaving that way out of the blue. Hope you're able to figure out what is going on. It sounds like both you and the dogs are stressed for some reason. Remember, they don't have words to tell you what they think but are sensitive emotionally as well.

    You don't mean that. Smile If you've had your dogs for a good period of time, i think you will eventually forgive them and forget about your stuff as well.

    Well, the gates seem useless. What about a cage??
