"she goes in and out and in and out"

My ex dropped the dog we got together off the other day for me to care for while he is in between residents. It's very frustrating that it is apparent he has had little to none to spend with her. Casey is disobediant and at best her own dog rather than anyone elses. The reason why I allowed him to keep her was because she took care of him in a ( Read more... )

I don't know how you managed to stray so far from the truth on this one. I know you to be very perceptive and intuitive - perhaps those skills will allow you to abandon your skewed opinion and admit that you are wrong. It is a person's responsibility to care for their pets, this is true, but canines have related to us as "best friends" for quite some time. Any relationship should be reciprocal and equal - this includes that between a man and his hound. Casey has been treated with nothing but love. It is absurd to suggest that she has been mistreated in any way. Because she is disobedient? Consider that she is away from her Master and familiar environment. I have personally observed how every possible measure has been taken to ensure her proper care at ALL TIMES ( ... )

Hey Rob ( ... )

i feel like i was not totally clear loudestsilence1 November 2 2006, 20:13:12 UTC

...the basis of my frustration is that I beleive if Casey was still my dog she would behave a lot better than she currently does and in the end be a lot happier. She has not advanced at all in this sense and It bothers me that for the next X weeks I am going to be caring for her, supporting her, training her...whipping her into shape just to have her leave in the end and go back to being able to do whatever she wants to do. I feel like she needs an owner that has time to train with her/walk her/play with her every day including the weekends. This entire situation does not seem fair to anyone (including KC) and in my opinion could have been avoided.
There's a lot to this and I was not expecting it. When I agreed to taking care of her all I could think about was how much I love her. Hence the frustration.

ok so she behaves fine with me, i say down, she's down, i say come, she comes, we play, we run, we sleep, my time at home is always time with her. are you implying that you intend to keep her? or that you aren't going to make a schedule like i asked you to if you really insisted on a regimen for her. we need to talk about this more, and i'm much more calm, now that i'm out of that house and the legal crap is over. btw, did you get my msg about that? and she is her own dog, as she should be. her personality and the life and energy she brings to my life i would never change for the world, and i worry that you and your dad are going to break that in her. i know he intends on it, i could see it in his face when i was there. and unfortunatly i am stronger than you, so to not pull me around may still pull you around, i couldn't do much about that.

I think that we have a different opinion of how a dog should be. A dog should learn to be respectful of other dogs and humans. To me, KC should not have to be asked to do so. She can learn manners, she just needs to be shown what behaviors are right all the time, sometimes, and ones that are wrong. It is silly that you think we are going to break her of her energy. You can't break the energy or personality of a dog. She is always going to be KC but she could be her with better manners. It sounds like you want her to continue jumping, going crazy with other dogs while on a leash, barking incessantly even when told to stop...etc. If that's how you want your dog, please find someone else to watch her. I do not have the desire to watch a dog for six weeks that is supposed to remain so misbehaved. My initial reaction after the first walk and realizing how much work and time she needs to exist with me currently was to ask you to either find somebody else to watch her or give her to me. I really disagree with how it seems you let ( ... )

she doesnt pull me around. she walks right beside me. because i walk her every day. twice a day. shes a good dog. and shes a very innerjectic dog. thats why she needs to be walked every day. i couldnt see you hanging out with casey outside or downtown because she wants to run away and play and bark at everyone, and she tries to fuck with every dog when shes on a leash. other pet owners dont like that. she could not sit still and relax on holloween. what if she ran out (as she tried to do every time the door bell rang) and jumped on some little kid trying to trick or treat? what if she trys to fuck with the wrong dog and gets a little fucked up? i dont want to take any animal to the vet. unless they need to. i had a an old pit bull that got loose one year and came home with holes in its head. he got in a fight and got munched. we took him to the vet and they put tubes in his head to drain the fluid... he walked around my house leaving trails of blood on the walls that leaked from the tubes. his name was bandet. after that we called him ( ... )
