My mother's dachshund simply refuses to be house trained. He's three years old already and been to professionals and STILL does whatever he wants around the house. Not to mention he's still difficult with other dogs (except mine who he has no problem siwth whatsoever) and trying to walk him can result in a dislocated shoulder. I keep telling her to call Cesar Millan.

I have the talk with Frankie every morning. Please no pooping or peeing on Daddy floors. Typical child, he doesn't listen. Then when I yell at him he rolls over on his back with that look that says "I'm too cute for you to yell at me, now rub my belly"

And, on a related topic, I crack up every time when I see this:

My mom's pugs never understood the always going outside thing. I have actually only known a few dogs that were good with it.

Serenity had a thing with peeing in the pantry when she was younger, but now is always in the litter box. Scorpio will poop right outside the box if I haven't cleaned it quick enough for him, but he is polite enough to kick litter out and cover it.

I got my puppy (when I was 16) in the summer and he was outside most of the first few months with us so he got used to using the backyard. We never had any problem with him breaking training. Of course this only works under 3 conditions: 1) a backyard (Central Park does not count) 2) warm weather 3) someone home most of the day (like a very patient mom who never wanted a pet in the first place but was a good sport about the whole thing).

Rusty was pretty good about going outside. Most of the time, once he was out there, he didn't want to come back in, during the warm weather, that is. He'd hang out on the cool patio snoozing for hours.

I have been very lucky - both Zander and Zorra use the litter box religiously, and the only issue I have is with litter "kickage" from Zander when he tries to bury his masterpiece with special enthusiasm.

Max survived his first full afternoon without me. Two of the kids from upstairs came down to let him out of the crate and keep him company for a bit, and he was in good spirits when I got home.

He's going to meet his vet tomorrow morning. He's had his first round of shots already so tomorrow is a meet/greet and initial checkup. I have a lot of questions for her -- most urgent is how long before I can get him into a training class and/or take him into the Park.

House breaking is so much fun. I jest not. I love house breaking dogs ... maybe I've been lucky, but my pups have been housebroken pretty quick. Then again, I did have the benefits of always having a yard. With Walter I took a week off from work when we first got him, and he was house broken within a day or two.

Deet - I think Walter was about 20 weeks when we started training. Best thing we ever did.

Hallo!

LOL Moony!

Craig Bierko tweeted me last night.

Craig Bierko: ? Maybe it's the crystal meth talking but "Mmm-bop" is one haunting goddamn melody.

Judy @MrCraigBierko I know someone that wishes she were on crystal meth whenever she HEARS MMM Bop!

Craig Bierko Mmm-bop is the Steuben glass of music! RT @JudyG808: I know someone that wishes she were on crystal meth whenever she HEARS MMM Bop!

Working from home today - we have May Day protests and our offices are ground zero for the staging...

Other than the computer lag, it is nice to work from home.

Happy Tuesday Adults.

Can't wait to hear about how Max's meeting with the vet went.

No sun out by me. Periods of rain expected throughout the morning, and I think may be overcast all day.

My BFF may not have been nominated for a TONY, but she IS receiving the Isabelle Stevenson Award. YAY!!!!

I hope Jan Maxwell wins the Tony! She certainly deserves it.

I am strangely uninterested in the Tony's this year.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 10:26am

I'll read about the nominations in a while. And not on the main board, I don't have the strength.

Max did very well with the vet this morning -- he was well-behaved (not always a given with him) and has a clean bill of health. Everything is in the right place, every thing is working and he's exactly where he should be for his age -- 9 weeks old tomorrow! And we got his nails clipped. My arms are grateful.

I loved the doctor -- she's terrific with animals and humans, and doesn't believe in over-medicating. She's also against the whole Show Dog thing -- which was my gut reaction as well. She was non-committal on whether to breed him or not, basically saying that's a decision we don't have to make right now.

So you didn't share the Sheri Lewis clip with her?

[D2]

Posted: 5/1/12 at 10:45am

I didn't have to -- he went into his dance for her. She laughed -- it's normal behavior, even for a dog that young. It's partly play, partly to assert dominance.

Cue for endless jokes now.
