just reading the posts, I think your doing a grand job. but how do you get anything at all done???????? I would not be able to put him down and not stop talking in that voice we all get when something is so cute. oh god, I hope its not me who has that stupid voice?? he is lovely, keep up the good work x
LOL- yup, it is difficult not utilising 'the voice'- luckily for him, I am a trained Counsellor -thus aware of collusion issues, bargaining etc etc. He can bat his eyes, shake his tail blah blah....mummy knows the score and can pre-empt him xx
Thank God- Bertie now dispatched into the kitchen for the night.
Took him again in Missys car to visit my grandad- as per, he has to run the gauntlet of cooing rezzies and care assistants (he loves it).
After a while talking to my Grandad he starts acting like a proper little pest. He was grabbing hold of slippered feet, trouser bottoms, bag handles, coat sleeves, biting/ nipping at hands and feet. Generally, just being bloody annoying!! Whining too. (Missy found it highly amusing how Mummy Rude was clearly irritated).
Distractions did not work, 'time out' (putting him on my lap and ignoring the ickle man) did not work-for long. Could not figure out what his problem was....
....then he farted. Realised he wanted a number two- so picked him up and ran down to the wet room areas (toilets/baths) where he performed. I ignored him pre/during/after the 'curl out'
He was so settled afterwards- I think that is really clever of a 9 week old doggy. He must have been so confused and anxious.
lol- he did my nut in. What did you day earlier: 10/10 for cutability and 6/10 for behaviour? lol
I have read that 8-9 week old pups are unaware of their own bodily functions: thus cannot 'punish' them for accidents- in which case- our Bertie is a genius. Very few indoor 'jobs'.
You saw his behaviour today-he was clearly upset at what to do re. wanting a poo in an alien environment- clever boy xx
Berties' first walk rocking the Bob the Builder look.Was only out 10-15 minutes, he seemed a bit 'whoooaaaaaah' especially when the departing Cruise Ship had a good honk but on the whole, he enjoyed himself.
As I said with Ste`s pup, they look dead cute as puppies. I`d have a million if you could keep them that way. You could pick Bertie up and cuddle him forever, I`d just strangle Ste though LOL and rob his Pup.
Yes, absolutely. Bertie and Buddy were the two 'dominant' males present- just let them get on with it-lol. The females of the pack tended to be smaller in size.
They all had a great time, us humans did too. They did seem to recognise each other, it was great!!! My urge after the walk today was to take my shoes off but so glad we made the effort....can't buy 'socialisation classes' like that....
Thanks to Missy and Kitty-Kat (?- forgotten her user name) for the Lift
