forget a kitten bbq!!!

  I'm just ranting right now cuz I'm like super pissed. Instead of bbqing kittens I'm about to have a weenie roast. Yeah, see this dachshund I got a few weeks ago, well i believe if there was a satan, this dog is possessed by him. I'm so pissed at this dog about the stupid shit it's done today that I had to take two xanex to calm down. What was I thinking? Just ranting though. Feels better to get it off my chest lol.

If all the Christians who have called other Christians " not really a Christian " were to vanish, there'd be no Christians left.

Rant away.

My dog got into my homebrew supplies yesterday and ate a 1 lb bag of dry malt extract. I was gonna use that to keg my beer this weekend. Now I have to go to the homebrew shop again.

Grrr.

 

So, rant away. What did the little satan do?

Oh no! Well he doesn't seem

Oh no! Well he doesn't seem to get that he goes outside to do his business which absolutely is a no in my book. Learn that one fast or your pound bound. He runs from me because I keep him crated while I'm gone and he doesn't like it. So this morning he made me late getting my son to school. Then comes the part that makes me want to punt his ass like a football (but I didn't), he tried to bite me. He's already broke skin pretty bad once and if he does it again I'm tempted to have him put down. Once they bite, it seems they always have a bad temperament but he's only 8 weeks old. This is just crazy! I don't think I've ever seen such a little puppy cause such distress. I think this morning was the first time I was ever so mad that i actually saw red lol.

Deep breaths.  He bit you because he is afraid of you.  You are yelling - that is threatening and he is only 8 weeks old.  Of course he isn't house trained yet - would you expect an infant to be house trained?

First off the crate should be a safe and welcoming place.  Give him a small hard rubber chew toy with a very little bit of peanut butter or cream cheese smeared on it when you want him to go in to the crate.  put the toy in the crate then put him in.  No yelling.  Happy silly voice the dog trainers use.  They use that stupid baby voice because it tells the dog you are not a threat.

House training.  You can get detailed instructions here:

Omg! Thank you. My last dachshund wasn't anything like this. they look a lot alike which is why I got this one. I gave my copper away 10 months ago because I couldn't have him in the house I was at. So, 10 months later and I still get that sinking feeling every time I pass by the pet section at the grocery store or even driving down the road and seeing pet smart. Copper was just the greatest dog ever and I'm convinced I can never replace him. I'll read that and get some books from pet smart or something and hopefully I can get this one to turn out ok. I think I'm just expecting perfection like copper was and that ain't gonna happen. They're all different.

Oh and you're right, I have been yelling a lot. So right now he's outside so we can be separated for right now lol. Thanks CJ!
