DYING OF EMBARRASSMENT
In previous posts, I've talked about our middle "hairy Child." Tigger, our other Boxer puupy, is now 11 months old. He's a wonderful companion for our family. However, he's got just one terrible habbit. He jumps all over our guests, when they come in. My neighbor across the street, came over yesterday to visit the dogs. She has three Westies of her own. She has said before that, she likes dogs, more then people. I tend to agree with her. Dogs aren't quite as annoying as people. Sure, they can be disgusting and a pain in the behind. Although, they love you no matter what.
When she came through the door, Tigger was so happy to see her. He bounced and jumped all over her. This is how, he was named Tigger, from early on. He is very much like Tigger. Luckily, she is very understanding and knowledgeable on the misbehavior of dogs. She and her mother have raised, trained, and showed dogs for years. During her visit, we talked about obiedence school for Tigger. Little did she not that Monday, he chewed up the obiedience school calender from Pet Smart, that was hanging on the refrigerator door. I'm guessing that, he did not want to attend that class.
At first, we didn't know who was responsible for, both the shredded newspaper and purple obideience schedule scattered on the floor. It could have been his little sister Noel too. Although, with the soggy strand of News Paper hanging from his mouth, that was a dead give away. My husband said, "Gee, I wonder who did that?" Needless to say but, he got his butt busted for that. Anyway, I followed my neighbor across the street. She loaned my two books about dog training. Yeah right, like this is going to work. I think that, Tigger is entirely too hard headed to lean how to behave at this point.
He even managed to act up when, both my Sister and Brother-In-Law came over later. Luckily, my Sister-In-Law said, "let him back in, I don't care if he knocks me down, I can handle it." They have two dogs of their own as well. They both kept kneeing him in the chest, until he quit jumping. Until my Brother-In-Law started playing with him rough again that is. At that point, he knew that, he was getting what he deserved. He plays with their American Bulldog like that too. Anyway, I am praying that there is hope for Tigger's future. Maybe one day, he will calm down. See ya'll later on.
