Insane Saga of New Dog.
smokester:
Personally, I'm not a fan of dog poo. It's definitely a design flaw.

He poo part of a bag. He is literally a vacuum cleaner. I dropped some ice, most dogs would lick it and then back off, finding it unpleasant? This demon? CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. Chain chomp in Mario is his spirit animal.
At least the pill problem is sorted. I crumble it up and drop it on the floor and it's the grate-est thing since cheese. Get it, like a cheese grate- forget it.
I can't get him to bathroom outside, which is unpleasant. Roommate refused to buy swifter juice until tomorrow, so I used vinegar. He complained about the smell of vinegar, I told him it beats the alternative.
I'm fairly displeased with roommate right now. He told mom he'd help take care of the dog while she's gone, and he's taken the dog out ONCE this week. He loves lecturing me on feeding and watering the dog though. Dog gets fed on a schedule, and there are THREE water bowls in the apartment. I'm not looking for advice surveys.
A homeless lady was trying to pet him on the walk a few nights ago, he was running around me like a tetherball pole. She asked if he was a baby Aussie, I said he was an Irish Chihuaha. That's a lie, he's just a Chihuahua, but he's a curly haired one, looks a bit like lassie.
Sure enough this was a prelude to asking for money, I pointed out I had no pockets, just the dog.
He's been my alarm clock this week, he loves punching me right up the nose while I sleep.
He also likes standing in the bathtub. Not for water or coolness, just to be weird.
Which type of demon, sorry, Dog did you summon Smokes?

I've never owned a dog as I'm not good with responsibility. Or should I say, I'm not good picking up dog poo - I think it's the same difference?
Now cats, on the other hand. Lord love 'em.
8ullfrog:
Yeah, the night with the bag was rough.
Today he's been mostly well behaved. Compared to most days he's been stellar. No nails up the nose wake up call, I was able to get up at a reasonable hour.
Either his rhythm has caught up to being in California or he's decided to give me a reprieve.
Swifter juice was on discount, which was pleasing. The replacement bottles are also larger than the bottle that came with the mop.
Funny enough, there are people online who have videos on how to "jailbreak" the bottle so you can refill it yourself.
8ullfrog:
I know, bumping my own thread, but I thought an update was warranted.
I'd honestly forgotten the role my uncle played in the "saga". He's the one who recently passed.
The dog truly has been a gift, even if he seemed a bit of a curse when we got him.
He still does the food tantrum occasionally. Sits expectantly while food is poured, and then BAM, punches it all over the floor.
He has brought a light back to my mom that I cannot be thankful enough for. That being said, one night she tripped walking him, so I have taken over quite a bit in that regard. (She broke the poo out of her foot).
She's recovered enough to take the day walks, and I don't mind taking the night walks for her safety.
He is still a bolter, so the front door is a bit of a flashpoint. Thankfully if you pull his leash off the wall (next to door) and ask if he wants to go for a walk, his bolting.exe process misfires, and he returns to be leashed.
I know we're past thanksgiving, but I'm tremendously grateful to both my Aunt and Uncle.
