Ever get the urge to choke your dog? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday was that day. The day that my one dog Carsten was lucky to see the end of. It started out happy, I decided to take the boys (my dogs) and my sister with her 3 human boys up to the woods. There is a place we go that has a small waterfall and creek running through it. It is nice because the dogs can run off leash while we hike.
I went to my sisters to pick them up and she was just finishing watering some plants (it has been so dry here) Carsten starts off the fun by laying down ON her plants that had just been watered so he is now full of mud and has broke off a bunch of her Lilies. Needless to say "we were NOT happy with him."
Then, the 2 1/2 year old nephew lets him in the house where he proceeds to waltz all over the white floors. Isn't it amazing how far and wide mud can spread? I wouldn't have thought there was that much mud in her entire flower bed. Finally I get everything cleaned up, the dog in the car and we are off to the woods.
You might think that it gets so much better from there right? Well, it did, for awhile. The dogs were running, having a great time we were hiking all was going good. We are now at leat 2 miles or more from the car. We stop at the falls. I am with the 2 1/2 year old nephew leaning over the water and rocks and we are reaching our hands into the very very cold water. Carsten walks behind me and decides to turn around in the tight quarters. He gives me a shove and I go head first into the water. I had all I could do to shove my little nephew backward so he didn't fall in also.
I was soaking wet and full of mud. I wanted to kill my dog right then and there. I seriously thought to myself, "I could live with out that dog"
Ever walk over 2 miles in the heat with wet underpants? ICK!!! I can only imagine what other hikers thought when they saw the lady that looked like she had a blow out of poo in her pants.
Don't get me wrong, this is a sweet sweet dog. He loves pretty much everyone and every thing but... He is a major pain in the back side so often without even trying. Everything he does is innocent but so stinking annoying. To top it off this dog has chronic gas that is so bad it makes a person literally sick to their stomach. So much for well bred dogs being easier then my rescues. This dog is.... challenging.
