Morning antics before work

    As much as I love my little boys, there are those times that I would like to pull my hair out.

    This frustrating time typically is in the moments before I run out of the house for work.

    I kennel the boys when I dont take them to work with me.

    Well, Caesar has been trained by himself to run under the dining table at the momen he hears the beep of the TV turn off or based on the time I leave in the morning.

    He moves around under the table so that I can't reach him and I get really MAD.

    Anyone else have those moments where you want to scream? Just Friday I guess, I would rather be at the beach right now!

    Caesar and Cairo….the boys

    Yes when I've noticed Champ has one of my shoes, clothes, etc and I have to chase him around the table and then he makes a break for it under the bed and I hear him tearing whatever he has apart. If I get desperate I take out the treats and bribe the little brat to drop whatever he has.

    I feel for you.

    I can't talk on the phone with them around, they hate it when I use the phone. They always act up. They are like 2yr olds who never grow up.

    Yes he is an attentionaddict. If I'm trying to exercise he either scratches my head, pulls my hair or trys to lay right on my mat and gets in my way. When my daughter tries doing her homework on the sofa, he'll pull on her books, bite the pages, corners, or paws at them to knock them down.

    Everyday between 5 and 6am the Basenji alarm clock named Zoe goes off. Some mornings she has a squeaky yawn and then looks surprised when the noise come out.

    My b doesn't (usually) pull so I can't say for sure, but even at its tightest, the collar won't cut off air entirely. The tightness of the collar is limited; if you order one of the custom ones from Long Dog, you get to specify the smallest circumference of the collar. I would imagine a wide leather collar to be preferable to a thin nylon one for a puller, just because it won't chafe or cut into his neck as much.

    My 2 will also find things to "get" my attention if they are not the center of my attention, when I get home. I hope you can leave yours out when your gone. it makes things so much easier for everyone.

    When I got each of my b's I brought them into my office as little babies - I didn't want to leave them home alone when they had just been through such a big change (they are a year apart - each one came into my office for about the first 4 weeks after they came to live with me). They were so easy then because they slept so much. Although they are very different personalities, they are basically the same in my office. Sweet and sleepy as babies, total nuts as adults. I bring one or the other in occasionally and can't leave either one off-leash. They hit every garbage can in the place, and would run out the front door (and have) when anyone comes in. Too curious. All they want to do is walk down Main Street and smell all the other doggie smells, so there is lots of whining and boredom on their part, but they are welcome as long as they don't do anything destructive. (My boss has actually put up with a fair amout of that from other dogs in the office). So I do have a dog-friendly office, it's just that my dogs are not easy in the office.
