On the verge of insanity

Amaya-Mazie-Marley · 06-18-2007, 04:26 AM

I am seriously going nuts. Thanks to Mazie I haven't slept at all tonight. Its 4:22 am and I have to be at the college at 8 am. No use in going to bed now. Mazie is aggravating the absolute crap out of Amaya. Mazie is "grooming" Amaya's face. Chasing her off the couch just to lay in her spot. She is annoying me to no end. We went through this BS last night. Mazie started barking like a maniac so she was put in the animal room with the door shut and that was that. Whenever she upsets Amaya like this, Amaya gets mad and proceeds to try and attack Mazie and it just makes Mazie want to play. Amaya is the sweetest ever but I have noticed there here lately she's getting fed up with Mazie reaaall quick. I am always having to seperate them because Amaya was recently diagnosed with collapsed trachea and I can't have her getting all worked up. I am serious, I have been working with Mazie since we first got her 6 months ago, and she was doing amazing with her training and now she's been backsliding. It makes me feel like a horrible owner but I know its not me. You come visit Amaya and Marley and then tell me I'm not a good owner. I seriously have no clue what to do with Mazie anymore. She is driving me absolutely insane. I have been ignoring her but its getting harder and harder. I just wanna yell 'SHUT THE HELL UP". Argh someone help me, before 8 am please lol.

She was doing so well too.. Just keep up you were doing, and at the risk of sounding like a abstract advice uh " its always darkest before the dawn.."
Any possibility she is playing with the cats?

She plays with the cats alot when Amaya won't play with her, but its more like rough housing. She still hasn't learned when enough is enough and when too much is too much.

You may have tried this already, but you could crate her at night so the two are seperated. ???

There's always Benadryl. For you, or for the dogs, to help all of you sleep.

If I am bed, they are both in bed. I had stayed up pretty much all night the night before last because I had so much to do but wasted my time. Last night, I went to bed at 5 pm and they stayed with me the whole time until this morning and we had no problems. I decided she is going to be crated when I'm not here, and Amaya will be gated in my room. Amaya is getting worse, just to let you guys know. She is now coughing alot more and it seems almost like she coughs constantly. In the mornings when I take my shower I leave Amaya in the bathroom with me because of the steam. I don't let her outside except to potty, I am putting litter box training in motion, and its just hell right now. Thanks for the replies. Lol Lorina thats the best idea I've heard yet. I just might do that! I need to take Mazie to the vet, but I can't even begin to think of that stress right now. Argh! Now its 6:15 and I absolutely have to go take my shower. I'll be home a little later or I'll go to the library at college and check up on this.
