snow Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've gone right off dogs ... gone right off husbands too they are as bad as each other as you know Nog has to be toileted on lead day or night - this means we have made a firm rule that all poo must be picked up the moment it has left the dog so that we don't end up stepping in it in the dark ... I have not broken this rule ... this afternoon Nog was a royal pain in the backside, when I got home from work I took him out for a wee and we surprised a cat, Nog went berserk, cat flew up the tree and wouldnt feck off ... Nog wouldnt wee and just kept lunging to try and get to the tree as this is not good for his leg I had to bodily drag/carry him back indoors without a wee. I left it 30 mins went out and checked and the cat was gone, got Nog and went back out, to once again have a lunging tugging utterly fixated berserker dog on the end of the lead who simply would NOT stop trying to drag me up the flipping tree - so he was once again frogmarched back indoors without a wee. An half an hour later Nog was whinging and whining to go out, so out we go again for yet another repeat of lunging and berserking and NO WEE. This went on every 20 - 30 mins all afternoon I couldnt ignore him because he hadnt wee'd since 8am so I knew he WOULD need to go at some point. Finally at 5pm I decided to bodily march him to the wee wee spot and 3 times he crouched only for me to slacken the lead for him to go and him to make a lunge for the tree in which there WAS NO SODDING CAT!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrr in the end I marched over directly under the tree and showed him NO FECKING CAT!!!! At which point he refused point blank to move and yanked back on the lead causing me to over balance... it was then I became aware of the twin sensations of something cold and distinctly slimy between my toes INSIDE my slippers .... you've guessed it my flaming husband had NOT kept to the rules this morning I ended up bare foot covered in poo with a dog who simply wouldn't believe there wasnt a cat up the tree and who STILL WOULDNT BLOODY WEE WEE!!! My fav slippers were complete write offs theres no way of cleaning the mess off them and all hubby did was say he hadn't noticed Nog doing his business this morning and was I sure it wasn't the cat?

sanrossscot Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Seems to be the day for rants My fecking manager was being such an arse today!! We are coming up to a day of hard work, this was originally planned for a couple of weeks ago and got changed (by him)we, the team involved, had wanted it changed back further in order to do stuff but no. I am on leave most of this week, this leave would have been after the first date and cannot be changed as it will be the last time I see my sister and nieces etc before they emigrate to Australia. He seems to be having a dig because I am away, one of the team is ill (chest infec which last time became pneumonia)and therefore team manager is stressed with loads to do. He is stressed because this arse imposed a date, hasn't done stuff he should have done two weeks ago (until this afternoon) and is making us do things we had decided as a team (including him) NOT TO DO!!!!until he changed his mind ....and breath.......thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I feel your pain. After days of Mollydog refusing to do anything when on-lead, until she absolutely has to, which is ALWAYS at 3am (and that's not just out of bed at 3am, that's 26 steps and stairs *carrying a greyhound at 3am* ) I have buckled. She is allowed offlead in the garden to have a poo, as long as she will just consent to poo during the day! I hope it's not affecting her leg, she is pretty good about not running on it. But I just knew that if things went on that way I was going to trip over something while carrying her at dead of night, and that could really do a lot of damage. My next house is going to be a bungalow. With a completely flat garden.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 We had started to allow Nog off lead garden access but thats all stopped because of this ruddy cat - problem is that now that nextdoor have moved out their 2 ruffty tuffty cats no longer live here and they ruled the roost round here and no other cat would venture down off the fence into our garden let alone theirs and they had far more sense than to ever get close to Nog without the fence between them (to the extent that Nog once peed on the head of one of them ) This is a "new" cat - probably isn't "new" new but certainly not one I have seen before and for some reason it seems to have taken a liking to our garden, this was the first time I have seen it on the ground - it was under a bush right outside the lounge window so it had to run the full length of the garden to reach the tree and safety - had Nog been off lead the cat wouldn't have made it - even 3 legged Nog would be faster and running less distance diagonally across the garden anyway. So I dare not allow him out off lead anymore until such time as Nogs leg is given the all clear or the flaming cat realises that a bloody big very fast dog lives here. It's also the only cat EVER to have climbed that tree - it's not exactly climbing friendly and most of the cats round here prefer to perch on the fence below it until they see Nog come out then they disappear quick smart.

blackmagic Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 In slightly more positive news, Zooey was back at the vet today, and he doesn't have a tumour  What he does have is a severe allergicy auto-immuney reaction to something.  This weekend his other front foot exploded into a manky infected mess, so he now has two poorly feet and a poorly mouth  He's now on steroids and atopica to try and get on top of it, and reassess in a week.  Fingers crossed this works, as its been going on so long and he really isn't a happy chappy at the moment. One of the dogs at agility had problems with one of his paws last year.He had what was like an abscess between his toes, but it wouldn't clear up. After trying everything else the vet operated and found the inside of both paws were rotting away. They consulted a specialist who diagnosed an allergy to storage mites - which are found in all dry dog food. He is now fed only tinned Chappie and has been fine for over six months. When we finish agility, which is in a riding centre so a dusty floor - she washes his paws thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
