I wouldn\u2019t say I hate dogs in general. I never have disliked dogs just as I have never been extremely interested in them. I, at times, do hate my mom\u2019s dogs, however\u2026 particularly her most recent – Mackie.<\/p>\n
Why my mom\u2019s dogs in particular? They always display the same rowdy, greedy, disrespectful, trouble-making behavior. They can often dance on my nerves to the point my thoughts become quite drastic. Of course I would never act on such thoughts\u2026well, except the remote shock collar idea\u2026<\/p>\n
Sigh\u2026<\/p>\n
They always display the same behavior because my mom spoils them until they are rotten. Mackie for example will stuff his mouth with anything he can fit into it. He particularly loves dish towels, socks and underwear. Mom never worked on stopping this. All she ever does is take the item away. Because of this, he has determined it is a game and thus will \u201cplay\u201d keep away. Mom is fine with this; she likes his three year old child behavior. I find it exasperating and he won\u2019t take me seriously because of this reinforcement.<\/p>\n
The same is applied to plastic objects, paper and fabric softener sheets. All things listed in this paragraph and the one above are things he loves to tear to shreds or at the very least chew on until it is indiscernible. Again, the most she\u2019ll do is take the item away from him. He is never punished. In fact you can\u2019t punish him because he begins darting around thinking you are going to play or simply runs off because he knows he can outrun you. The times I do near corner him, he goes straight for mom. \u201cShe\u2018ll protect me\u201d he practically oozes. It is frustrating as mad.<\/p>\n
Then there is the case of getting on the furniture. Mom lets her dogs on her bed. Why my dad allows it, I don\u2019t know. They will hop right onto it, rub and roll around all over it, smear their slobber on the bedspread, track leaves and whatever dirt is on their paws into it, shed plenty of fur in their wake\u2026 sigh.<\/p>\n
Typically I avoid sitting on the bed, but recently I have been taking residence in her bedroom because of a broken knee she is recovering from. During this time Mackie has been allowed to sleep on the bed with her all the time now. I don\u2019t mind this when he stays at the foot of the bed\u2026 but when I get up to do something and return to find he has taken up my place\u2026 I really don\u2019t want to sit there anymore and just want to smack him.<\/p>\n
Sigh\u2026 I really don\u2019t see what my mom sees in such a delinquent. I must say though.. When he wears my nerves down\u2026 I\u2019d really like to smack him over and over with something. Sadly a rolled up newspaper is like a fly\u2019s wings batting to him and he is too damn quick to be caught anyway. Hence the mention of a remote shock collar\u2026 Man\u2026 I hate to admit to this but sometimes I\u2019d like to shock him whenever he does something bad.<\/p>\n
I do not mean to be inhumane\u2026 but\u2026sigh\u2026 I hate him sometimes. I really do hate that dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
