Cage fight

Monday I thought I was pretty damn slick and locked Norm in the kitchen while I was at work. When Amonte got home from school Norm was still in there although he had poo'd everywhere. Seeing as Amonte is an oblivious teenager with his own agenda he noticed nothing else. However, when I got home I discovered that the little bastard had jumped the gate, opened the closet and ate another pair of crocs, my last pair of flip flops and yet another pair of soccer cleats. And the ass did it in my bed leaving chunks of plastic all over. Instead of beating him to death which truly was my deepest desire...I went to Meijer and bought him a crate (that is another whole story). I was worried he would resist it but he was very accepting. It's sooooo nice to go to sleep/work and not have to worry about what trouble he is getting into. But he is paying me back in subtle ways...he has stopped eating the cat litter.

  1. Do you think Norm needs meds or perhaps shock therapy?!?!?

  2. Dang! Now you will have to buy the slotted kitty-pooper scooper! I wish you luck we have a dog who is 1 1/2 & who has had some 'issues' (seperation anxiety, anxiety, not really a chewer because we offer him huge cow bones) and we had to medicate him for a short time in the past & let me tell you it was worth the cost. Now he has learned to control his issues. Another thing the vets office suggested that helped him too was exhausting him with walks-taking him for a brisk 10 minute walk before I left for work & let me tell you that cuts into my DVR'd soap opera time in the mornings, but he doesn't wizz all over his cage & my house anymore (knock on wood) Good luck! I am sure he really is a good dog @ heart :)

  4. Lina, I'm gonna have to try walking him...plus my fat ass could use the exercise. It's that or drugs...for me too.

  6. How old is Norm? Definitely a supporter of crates.

Play nice in the sand box or I'll smack you in the face with a shovel.
