Rugrat has trained Mom!!

Basenji Talk
  • That little rugrat Cairo has his mommy trained. He hasnt changed with the time change and wakes me up every morning at 5:30am. MOM I GOTTA PEE!!!!

    So I stumble outside with him and back into the kennel to sleep an hour more. It is dark and Caesar is sleeping, why can't Cairo.

    MOM I GOTTA DO THE OTHER THING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I get up again and take him out. Back into the kennel.

    I am snugged up in the bed all cozy and ready for my 30 more or an hour if I am bad sleep until the alarm goes off.

    MOM I CANT STAY IN THIS KENNEL ANY MORE!!!! COME GET ME OR I WILL WAKE EVERYONE UP!!!

    Cairo and Caesar proceed to snuggle with mom on the couch and sleep! This has happened the past 3 mornings.

    Cairo is such a little punk!

  • But Cairo is SOOO cute, you just can't be mad!!! At least he's waking you up to go potty…. good boy!!!

  • LOL, silly boy. Tiggy stays in bed all night and will sleep in until I do

  • Deke sometimes sleeps through getting the kids off to school. Well he did. now we have the girls. They slept until I got up this am. Then they wake Deke up but thats ok I'm not complaining at least its no 5:30..it's 6:50!!!

  • The absolute worst thing about this time change (aside from the lessened amount of daylight walk time), is that Stormie and Nikki were so used to their dinner being served at 6:30 PM. Now they start pesting me at 5:00 PM for dinner and they put on those, "PLEASE MOM! We're STARVING and wasting away to practically NOTHING" eyes! Ha! Little rugrats is putting it nicely! :D ;)

    @donc said in Agility training: Dogs also have different inclinations. That is probably going in my top ten of understatements for 2018. :) I had a Rottweiler from a long line of herding titles, all the siblings. His only goat at sheep herding was to mark my leg. Even handler friends tried... nope. Wasn't wasting his energy on stupid sheep. Dining room tables are their natural habitat!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    Our female goes to bed with dad and are male stays out with me. I think she likes to sleep on moms side of the bed and streach out. Ive come in a few times and found her with her head on my pillow. :)

    Well.. tonight we had a 30 min. training to practice the weave poles. Tillo did ok. He was more excited than normal when we got out of the car and he had a big ridge when we walked to the field, but we were there 30 min before we started, so he was all calmed down at the beginning of the training :) I asked the trainer what he is going to do with Tillo and the Shar pei and he isn't sure yet.. :confused: This wednesday he will have a look and discuss it with the other trainers. He said that there is always a possibility that Tillo will be in a group with a male he doesn't like… so he doesn't think it's necessary to change the group. I told him I will quit and look for another training if he doesn't change something.. We'll see.. we'll see...

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p
