Dead Duck
Linda often wonders if there is something seriously wrong with Chimmie. He has so many positive traits. He is a kind and gentle dog to everyone. He has never bared his teeth, growled or been threatening. He LOVES everyone equally. A stranger could come in the house and he loves them as much or more then he loves Linda. Chim is thankful for every little rub and praise you give him. He does amazing on a leash and obeys every command. He'll walk for hours and does not want to be carried. (I have an excuse for that. I'll get seizures if I go to long and it's hot outside.) If you have a cookie, he can do incredible circus lion tricks and jump from platform to platform (OK, they are more like smooth stepping stones.) But just look at these photos!! This is a normal day for him. The duck was a birthday present from Paul. He liked it a lot, but as of this morning, it is now in the trash can. This is around his 10th bed. He adores his beds, so much so that he nurses on them when he falls asleep. But no matter how strong, tough, or durable the bed is supposed to be, he chews a hole in it. When he is tired, he drags his bed out of his little room and puts it where he wants to nap. Yesterday, he was taking little chewing breaks as he was making his way into the den. This is what Linda found! A little stuffing trail. Chim is also afraid of random dogs. He'll make himself into a pancake and whimper. He sometimes is petrified of getting his harness on. No matter how sternly he is corrected, he still can't help but jump up on people to greet them. There is not off switch on Chimmie when he wants to play. He'll seriously jump/wrestle/run until he falls asleep on his feet. Chim has chewed holes in the wooden deck. There hasn't been a toy yet they he has not destroyed. He'll eat just about anything: crayons, dead bugs, twigs, cat poop, poison berries, fabric, entire tennis balls, lawn furniture.... I could go on and on. If someone knows Cesar Milan, would you please tell him about this post? Chim needs to go to the Ranch. | | | |
