Someone's been naughty

No it's not me. (Wish it was though...)

It's my adorable, bad puppy.

Friday night I went to a party (hi Angie!) and left little miss Ginger alone in the bathroom for several hours. I returned home after midnight and she was rip roaring ready to go and play.
I on the other hand, was not. I stayed up for awhile and then put her on my bed with a bone to occupy her for awhile before putting her in her crate and she carried on for hours.
Jumping on my head,
pulling my hair.
Jumping off the bed,
barking to get back on.

Until FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!
I was in hell.

Then last night she peed on Jesus's father Joseph.

yes on my Christmas tree skirt, right on his head.
I can't put packages under the tree because she tries to rip them apart, and now Joseph has been defamed.

To top off the evening, she yelped and carried on screaming for forty five minutes when I put her in her crate last night.
Finally I took her out and let her outside, (she didn't go,) and put her on my bed thinking she would settle down and go to sleep.
Guess what that little demon did?
PEED ON MY BED!
Yes, that is far worse than peeing on Joseph; she peed on my down comforter and dry-clean only duvet!

This morning she learned how to jump on the chair and climb on the back of the chair to get on the KITCHEN COUNTER! So I pulled the chair away from the counter and she proceeded to jump on the back of the chair and BARK to get on the counter.

Can you say BAD???

I swear I was ready to post her on Craigslist, but then she looks at me like this:

What's a dog mother to do?

Roll up a newspaper, and beat yourself in the head with it.

I don't know what else to tell ya.

Damn dogs. My poor kid lost his Hokey Pokey Elmo to a peeing dog, and he doesn't even know that Elmo is gone.

Well Hermione can stand up and reach anything on the counter she wants, and she is eating the cherry tree in out back yard. At times like that I tell her, you know I bet you would taste good with some sauce. Yep, puppy sauce. And your so fuzzy, I bet you would make fabulous mittens. Hmm puppy mittens.

Then she acts all cute and looks at me funny and I sorta kinda maybe kiss her and forget about it.

However, she seems to know I am pissed off when I yell, DO YOU WANT TO BE SAUCE? STOP THAT BARKING!

Of course I would never turn her into sauce, she would make a much better roast.

HAH

We are powerless against the cute. Hermione gets a tad upset about her kennel sometimes too, I can hear her bark even outside when we dare to go someplace with out her. She gets over it. Your baby will too. And really, she still looks like butterscotch. Threaten to eat her with some ice cream, youll feel better.

I don't know what to say... I have two very mellow cats. Billie meows in the morning for food and P.J. meows at night when it's time for me to follow her to the bedroom.
Dogs are just a bit too high maintenance for me. Plus I'm a leo- it's all about feline!

I'll make sure my gf reads this. she's had puppyitis and i'm just not up to it.

my friend had a dog who got on the counter and ran across the stove, right through a frying pan of congealed crisco. She then left greasy footprints across the sofa and chair.

puppies. ugh.

Yes she is VERY cute but I would have been VERY pissed (no pun intended) if my dog peed on my bed. Of course my dog would have peed on the bed WHILE jumping on it like a kangaroo which would have made the pee fly all over the place.

Ginger is very lucky she is *so* cute.

If a dog looked at me like that in person I would have nothing to say. The picture alone makes me forgive her.

Of course, my bed d'int get peed on.

I think Ginger just did that cause she was nervous. My friend has a dog who is mostly good but I've seen her pee when she gets nervous. And it's always the cute ones who do it. Like they know you'll let em slide cause they're cute. I wouldn't worry about it, but if it becomes a regular thing maybe some obedience training is in order. Or at least change your bed sheets to something cheap that you don't care about.

She is just too dam cute!!!! I was lucky with Putter as she goes in her crate (we call it her condo) right away and goes to sleep. She did pee on my comforter once and got in big trouble. She is now 18 months old and is reverting to early puppy behavior and whining all the time. What to do with the cute little things!!!!!

You are clearly raising a militant dyke dog. Growing up in a home without a father has caused her to have no respect for men. She pissed all over the second most important patriarchal figure of the entire Christian religion. (God being the first, of course) That dog is frustrating, but cute. She won't be a puppy forever!

That face made me laugh. If it makes you feel better, Gage lives for trash night because on the walks those nights, he scours people's yards for food parts that may have dropped from trash bins. Of course he prompty throws the food up later. At 4 AM. Loudly wretching. He is so lucky he's cute.

Dear Ginger;
Wink here, your sister. Look. Don't MAKE ME come over there and show you some manners. We DO NOT pee on the father of christ, even if it's tempting, and we certainly DO NOT whine and carry on when in our crate. If you don't behave yourself, I'm going to show up at your door and chase your around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around that ottoman until we're both so tired we can't whine, pee, or CLIMB ON THE COUNTERS.
Love,
Wink

Aren't puppies just wonderful. They are always into everything. When we got my dog Sophie and she was still a puppy she ate my ex's glasses. He was very upset. The day after he got his new glasses she got to his new ones. He didn't learn that he had to keep them away from her. It was a $300 dollar lesson.

Kami: Yes, I should beat myself over the head with a newspaper, for many things!!!

Jessica: I think I will threaten to eat her, that's a good idea. You could make about three coats out of Hermione!

Blu: I've never really had a cat, I know they're easier though.

Syd: that will probably happen next.

Woo: I think she is part Rudder!

Dianna: thanks for stopping by!

Pissy: you are cute too:)

Tammy: yes the cute factor does keep her from being beat!

Michelle: I think the comforter is okay, luckily the duvet absorbed most of it.

Soozie: she does jump, but more like a rabbit!

Amy: I know. She is so damn cute!

Gena: I think she was just amped up more than nervous. I won't be letting her on my bed anymore!

Kristine: what do you mean? nothing is my fault!

My Sister: I wish she would just go to sleep, last night she was banished to the bathroom again!

Charlotte: I am contributing to the breakdown of the family and of our American Christian values...I knew it!

SFG: I'm glad you found it funny, you want to come out here and clean my duvet?

Curly: yes, I'm sure that's true, except she's not yet going out to bars and picking up guys!

Wink: Ginger is anxiously awaiting your arrival; she can't wait to show you how to jump on the kitchen counters!!!!

Kami: Geez, you scared me. I thought you were saying that I was pregnant and it was Kristine's fault...
Gwen's pregnant? Damn, I missed my chance.

D: Yeah, no Christmas joy under the tree this year. You celebrate Christmas in Canada? I thought that was just an American thing.

Caroline: Guys are a little slow!

Wow you guys, that was a lot of comments to respond to!!!
You guys rock my world!

For about the first 2 months after I got my dog I was letting her sleep in the bed and I thought she was being soooooo good. Until I laid across the bottom of the made-up bed one day and realized it had been turned into her own personal pissy sewer. I checked out my other dog's bed and her bed in her crate and found the same thing.

After she hit about 6 months old she quit pissing where she slept.

I had to just wear earplugs and put her in the room fartherest from me til then so I could get some sleep.

Good luck.

LOL....It's still Gwen's fault.

I am going to have Shaun make a RSG bumpersticker like the one on my fake car. I LOVE IT!
Of course, I can't really put it on my car because I still don't have a toaster oven...but YOU can!

1. A tired puppy is a good puppy.

2. See number one.

Also, she's trying to tell you (by peeing on your bed) that she thinks she's the alpha bitch around there. You need to institute a little puppy smackdown action to disabuse her of the idea. YOU'RE the alpha bitch around there!
