Thanks Hannah....yeah, I have to admit, Ally spends most of her time behind bars at the mo too! She is let out, we go in the garden, play for 20 mins, she starts to get rough, I try to 'tempt' her away with the ball or a treat, she stops for 5 mins, then goes back to rough play, so I put a stop to the playing and we go back in the kitchen, I go in the lounge and she cools down in the kitchen, if she doesnt calm down enough or play quietly, she goes back behind bars. Once in her crate she wins a little then sleeps for an hour, till I let her out and again and we start all over again.
It is a bit harder for me at the mo as my partner is away till Sunday night, but when we are both here we take it in turns to play with her, there is only so much fetch the ball I can stomach in a day at the mo..hehe!
I love her when she is playful or cuddly (which isnt that often anymore it seems
) but othertimes I absolutely want to strangle her (in the sense of the saying - not a case for the RSPCA I promise!) or take her back and swap her for the cuddle monster we got at 8 weeks old! Where have all my cuddles gone, as the ones I get now involve teeth on my chin or nose - which actually does make your eyes water belive me!
Yeah no no confrontation at all def seems to be working as when she was hanging from my thigh and trying to kill her prey, no does absolutely nothing...its just sometimes hard to get across the kitchen with a little furry alligator hanging off my thigh - and not respond or SWEAR loudly!!
I read somewhere that having a dog was supposed to lower your blood pressure, but I am certian that if I went to see a Dr at the moment, I would instantly be admitted to hospital with complete the opposite!!..
Oh yeah - Meganandmolly - I am a flip flop girl and live in them usually, but I have succumbed to jeans, turned up and my OH's boots, which I am sure wont be a fav of mine in the heat of the summer, so will have to try and come up with something else to protect my tootsies!
