Oh The Trouble They Get Into.... (barking, chewing, cross, feeder)

[Colddiamond102]

Jasper has taken to hiding things under the cushion of my mother's chair, as well as hiding stuffies under my pillows. He has this one large stuffed baseball that he tried to hide under Mom's chair....imagine her surprise when she sat down!

His normal habits usually are:
Stealing socks
Chasing Bugs
Sleeping on the couch when he knows he's not supposed to
Mooning my mom.
Scaring the bejeezus out of the meter man.
Scaring the bejeezus out of the post man AND the UPS guy.


So, what mischief have your dogs been up to lately? Is it a regular thing or has this just begun?

Titan thinks that anyone within sight of the house is in need of a barking, even if they're on the other side of a busy 3 lane street.
Most people who come to the door are convinced that Cujo lives here, until we open the door and he starts squealing like a pig because he's so happy to see, anyone.
About a month ago, he saw a guy on a bike riding down the other side of the 3 lane street, ran across to make friends and got hit by a car. Thank the Goddess that he's huge and the car was tiny (and quick with the brakes) and he wasn't seriously hurt. So, here I was thinking he'd learned a lesson -- NOPE -- yesterday he charged out into the street (the side street, less traffic) to meet a couple of kids. Goddess again, no cars coming.

OMG..thats awful. How does he keep getting out?

He's about 85 pounds, I'm about 100 - that give you an idea?? We're thinking of putting sticky papers on the floor around the doors to keep him away from them, maybe it'll work??
I can't take him out on a leash, last time it took about 6 visits to the chiropractor and muscle relaxers to get my shoulder moving again without agony.

Luna likes to chew socks and underwear, preferable used (gross yeah), preferably my husband's!! She will get a glazed over look if you wave a sock around her...!

She's into chewing cardboard/boxes/paper right now.

She's pretty bored lately. I keep needing to think up new games but I get tired of that (only I seem to do that). My husband basically walks her on long walks but is not home at night during the week to entertain her. My son likes the games for 2 seconds and gets bored.

'Mom' (me!!) has to be the entertainment and the feeder and she follows me around like a 6 month old child... When I can't give her attention she sulks and lies down on her blanket...

My dog is nearly a year old and also taking to barking at everyone at our complex when I walk her.
