Bella has her positive aspects but as of late her crazy is overshadowing those few good character traits. We think she might be jealous of the boys, but can't be sure. Maybe she's just gone mental. I don't know. No matter what you are doing she will park herself as close to you as possible, her skin must be touching part of you at every moment. We are constantly tripping over her after she parks herself behind us at the kitchen sink or while we are changing a diaper. We are usually holding Henry so it is lucky he hasn't gone flying.
On Saturday she was nothing short of nuts. Shaking, sitting on us, whining, panting and pointless barking. So strange, and most importantly, so ANNOYING. She also exhibits behaviors similar to this during football season. Something about the crowd noise from the TV sends her into a tizzy.
Like we said, she is great with the kids and cleans up nicely after them (which is enough of a reason to keep her), but lately she is just maddening. We need Caesar Milan or a dog psychologist to pay us a visit STAT.

| clueless as to why we are yelling at her constantly |

| still very sweet to Henry, let's him climb on her and pet her to his heart's content |
Our dog Meeko does the same thing! We've tried a shock collar (I know, mean), muzzle, etc. He is very territorial of the kids and barks a lot. It is really annoying. We think he's just trying to help. If he gets scared he is usually hiding in the closet and at 8:30 he's for sure in bed. He's a nutso!
ReplyDeleteWe are considering trying out the dog "thundershirt." Google it.
