Just Pass Me By

I wished I had my camera out and ready today. Otis and Shadow were so cute together and it would have been a nice picture. Otis was sitting on the end of the coach and shadow was laying right next to him. They where even being good until Otis caught my eye. I think the dog is a better weight lose item then any effective weight loss supplements I like walking and exercising and the dogs got a load of energy.
What caught my eye is that Otis started slapping the dog again. Poor thing didn’t know what she done wrong so she went running under where hubby likes to site.

I will say one thing the animals will never need any fitness equipment, because they are always finding mischief. Poor dog walks been cut very short this week because of the weather and she really don’t want to be out there, very long neither do i but we have to go outside no matter what for pottying. The dog is not fond of the snow, and lately she been falling into some places of deeper snow then she looks at me like, why me. Today she was peeing like a boy dog or at least trying to and giving me the sad puppy eyes.

Between the dog and the cat I don’t know who going to win the She mine war. The last couple of days the dog has decided, it would be good to not go number two, there nothing wrong with her, because if I were to leave her out and about she find a place to poop in, in a corner and then I would have to clean it up. The thing that bugs me is she pees on the bad and now Otis thinking oh I can pee there to.
Otis has been going into the dog kennel and sleeping when the dogs not in there, so sometimes I stick them both together but only while we are in the same room. Maybe they can have their pee context in the kennel and other places. My hubby has had to wash the sheets twice in one week and you know that gets a little expensive when animals can’t mind their manners, maybe I should see if I can get instant life insurance quote for the cat, and dog because I might need it. Hopefully I can get a 2nd cat litter box so I can keep the cat out of the bedroom when we are not in it.

Shadow is doing well today, no pain that I can tell and she back to being the active playful dog she normally is. She went for her walk today and did everything she needed to in record time, boy sometimes meds work like a old fashion colon cleanse reviews. Today I decided not to give her any pain meds unless she acted like she needed the pain meds. She didn’t seem like she needed it. She still tired and resting it seems more then normal but at least she playful too.
Right now she is sleeping in my chair, I am not sure how she can like tight spaces because I am not exactly small. But yet she wedges her self into where she wants to go.

On Friday I brought Shadow in for her Rabbies vaccines, and another one. She had pain in her leg where they gave her the shot, that night but I thought nothing of it, it seemed normal enough. Yesterday when I went to take her out for her afternoon walk she did not want to put any weight down on that leg. She was acting a little more tireder then normal, so I called the vet right away. I am not going to wait till Monday or Tuesday when something seems wrong. They told me to get her in, so I did just that, it took a hr at the vet but that’s okay, not like I needed to close my blinds.
Shadow was running a low grade fever, which well is a sign she was having a mild reaction. I told the vet tech if this is what going to happen to her I will not get her vaccinated. I don’t get the cat vaccines because I have had troubles with him. I don’t take him to the vet because he never sick. Shadow pain was determined to be form the shot, and she was put on pain meds. I gave her some and within a couple hours she was acting like a dog in less pain, I gave her pain meds this morning and she been sleeping, pretty soon I will take her out for her walk.
All I know is I do not want to do anything which will bring her more harm and sometimes on small dogs vaccines are not good for them.

I am not sure what is going on, or why. I know it’s been suggested that I get another cat litter and place it where Otis has been liking to go since we got the dog. The dog sometimes go into hubby and my room and pees in there or poops in there, depending on her mood that day. We have started looking the dog out of there and now the cat has started going pee. He’s been peeing on the bed, now just about every 2 weeks. He peed in my clean clothes, and the other day he jumped up on my coach with hubby and I both home and in the same room and decided to pee on my winter jacket. Okay I have to say the cat knows better then this. Now hubby before Otis peed there was laying on the coach on top of my jacket. Maybe Otis feels his master is being taken away form him by the dog and hubby I am not sure.
My hubby brought up it could be something wrong with him, but he eating, and drinking and is very playful he not acting like something wrong other then just peeing where he aught not. Maybe I should get another cat litter in the hall way, and see if that solves the problem then I will have to problem of the dog going into the cat litter so it simply a frustrating thing. How can I end the turf war with the animals with out giving either away. Otis has been with me for a very long time. and the Dog well she a mental health dog for dad, plus we are all attached to her know.
Maybe I should get one of those litters boxes which self cleans this way when Otis uses it, it will be cleaned right away an there will be nothing for the dumb dog to eat in there. Yep the dog pulls out the kitty litter if I let her.
So now I got one holding it potty until she can no longer and the other one going where we don’t want him. I think Otis might be marketing me as his territory. I guess we can never bring him to cheap hotels new orleans.

I think the dog is trying to test patients with hubby and I. All this week she wanted nothing to do with going potty for me, and now she going for me she refusing for hubby. Several times this week, she had to go and started and then decided oh no I am not going. And held it in until hubby took her out. Okay grant it the only reason why she holds it in is because we put her in the kennel when she refuses to go potty for us. She must think that she gets Ferrari parts if she doesn’t do her business. I even tried putting her on the balcony with the leash still on, but she wanted nothing to do with it. Yesterday I guess the dog decided I was the one she wanted to be good for because she went both right away. Today she did it again. Now the question is how to get the dog to go consistently for both of us when she needs to go. I don’t care if she don’t go if she don’t need to but when she clearly gotta go I care that she not going because I hate keeping her in the kennel all day.
Lately the cat been going into the dog kennel with her, it kind of funny. The cat is a lot bigger then the dog, but they act like siblings.

My hubby isn’t happy with the animals, twice now one of the animals have peed on his bedding. I am not sure why Otis would do it other then trying to mark his territory or to take revenge on hubby. The cat has never much liked hubby whole lot, but never really done anything against him. If it was him who peed on the bed, I think it might of been trying to tell him clean the litter out. If it was the dog well she likes peeing in the cats territory, I can not remember her being in there.
She might have sneaked into the room while i was going in and out looking for things. The cat normally uses his cat litter, he good at doing that a few times he hasn’t but for the most he does. Know if he can’t get to it, no amount of best term life insurance is going to make him go in his litter. So it was one of them, not sure which one but maybe we will figure it out some day.
Otis thing is puking on stuff he a long hair cat who gets hair balls.

We have gotten a lot of snow enough to make walking the dog funny at times. The dog is a small dog, about maybe a little over a foot. The first night of snow, I decided I would try to go down the same path as normal but don’t think for a minute that you could see that path. The snow pretty much buried the dog right away. I decided she could find a place on the partially shoveled sidewalk, well she did but she wasn’t very happy with me.
She walked around with the attitude of, you think I am going to walk through that, well I got her out with the laser light. I got it for the cat but boy the dog likes it so much more then he. I got her out of the tall snow, and walked her along the sidewalk I was surprised that the wall of snow there was taller then her. Later that night I looked out the window and saw that the snow plowed had pilled snow pretty high there and it was almost as tall as the balcony rail. Well good thing we have cheap health insurance for the dog, and if we need to see the vet, we can use it. I do not for see any trouble unless she gets buried in snow and can’t find her right away. I will probably just keep her on the sidewalk, were the snow can not bury her.

Wow, this dog is very stubborn they are one of the smartest breeds but they really know how to test patients. This dog if she had the choice would hold her poop a week just to go inside the house. She hasn’t figure out yet if she don’t go potty she gets to be locked in her kennel. I am not sure why she won’t go outside when she needs to go, but she holds it and it’s almost funny to watch her walk with her butt tucking down to the ground because she needs to do so badly. So smart but so stubborn this little dog is, well I guess this is what you get when you try to teach the dog to go potty outside. To bad motorhome insurance won’t cover the dog making a mess in the house. She knows what needed, she feed, she’d cared for and played with yet she still wants to poop where she knows it’s a no-no.
This weekend I got dad a book about his dog he liked it and told me today. He told me she one of the smartest breeds.
