My dogs are suffering from a severe case of "We have GOT to get out of this house and do SOMETHING!!" and it is resulting in both of them exhibiting such snarky behavior to one another and esp. from Jazz directed at Gypsy.
Keoki is being a huge PIA to both dogs, but mostly Jazzy.
Keoki is getting snotty about everything to everyone….
I need to get them out to run and play. My problem? The large loose dogs in my neighborhood are extremely problematic for us. I've had as many as four at a time, following, annoying, sometimes even growling at us. Animal control can't do a thing about it. And the few times I've mentioned {politely} to the other dog owners that it's a problem, they act like I'M the nutjob for containing my dogs in my yard. Not that I get much opportunity to talk to them -- most here just leave the dogs running loose while they go to work, etc. I don't even like walking my neighborhood any more w/out my dogs. Sad- it used to be a great neighborhood for walking. So, now I'm just avoiding getting out there -- rain, cold, and dogs is just too much for me right now.
I have tried driving them to a local wooded park to play, but even though it is leash required park, there are never fewer then 6 dogs off leash {even though there are TWO off-leash parks w/in five minutes of this place}. that drive mine nuts -- following, sniffing them, etc.---- so mine nearly strangle on the leashes, esp. Keoki, cuz he's more of a spaz anyway :rolleyes: .
I won't do off-leash parks w/my dogs, for multiple reasons.
The weather is too crappy for hikes right now.
Okay, I just had to vent; I love them to death.... but lately.... :eek: .
This week, I MUST find something to do with the two of them.
