Just blame the dog!

I’m going to be vague today. Somedays it’s just necessary. 

I own a pug. Her name is Daisy and she’s is very sweet. She’s cute, she’s fun, she’s a cuddle bug and shemakes me laugh everyday at the stupid stuff she does. However, Daisy gets territorial. But only at specific times. When our cat George goes near the food, Daisy will back off and let him have a nibble and wait patiently until he’s done. But when my neighbor’s pug, Libby, comes over to play it’s a different story. Daisy won’t let the poor thing near her bowl- not even the water- until she is plenty done herself. If Libby is over and Daisy finds a bone and you take it away- she’ll find Libby and attack her! 

This is all bad… but not even close to Daisy’s worse habit. If Daisy finds her way into my bedroom… she PEES on my clothes! It’s disgusting. She usually rings a cowbell when she needs to go out and we take her every time. But no matter what- she will without a doubt, pee on any clothing she finds on the floor. I know what you’re saying- pick up your clothes dummy!- BUT personally I believe I should be able to leave any damn thing I want on the floor without her peeing on it! 

All of this comes down to one thing. Territory. She’s trying to establish her territory and I’m trying to establish mine. If I put something on the floor- Daisy responds with, “No, bitch that’s MY floor.” 

And so goes life. Now if only I could smack life on the ass and put it in a crate for the night. Who’s the bitch now?

So sorry! We’ve got a few towels that I’m pretty sure the cats have sprayed, but they always smell normal after coming out of the dryer and then funk up once they get wet. Just need to throw them away, really.

Man, that sucks!!! I’m with you though, you should be able to leave your clothes where ever you want and not have to worry about the dog pissing on them.

She is adorable btw!!!! I especially love that second picture!

so this is all an analogy to greater, more complicated things? Not fun.

But I’m still stuck on the fact that your dog rings a cow bell to go pee – that’s amazing.

Oscar just humps things. But my big take-away from your post is: How in the world did you train her to ring a bell when she wants to go out? Oscar barks and bark and barks and I ignore him he will pee on the floor right where I am. But, that was mostly when he was a puppy.

When she was a puppy I hung the cowbell from the door. Everything we’d take her out we’d ring it or show her how to ring it. Sometimes she abuses the privilege and hurls herself at it meaning she just wants attention. So the method isn’t foolproof. But for the most part she just jumps at it. But don’t get me wrong… there’s a lot of pee in my apartment. Probably why we are moving after only a year… sorry landlord!
