JEALOUS OF THE NEW PUPPY

JEALOUS OF THE NEW PUPPY

Anyone who thinks dogs don’t have feelings, just doesn’t understand how similar they are to children.  

I have been working very hard to potty training new puppy JellyBean to go outside to do her business.  I have been making progress but still have to be the sideline coach, motivator and cheerleader.

I am delighted that she has finally started to get the idea. And this morning I had her outside with Buckeye in the backyard to go for their morning bathroom time.

I got excited when JellyBean first went pee pee very quickly. So I encourage her saying “yayyyyyyy JellyBean” now go poop, and hurry up (so she doesn’t take forever).  Low and behold she walks over squats and is in the middle of pooping- I am cheering her on “good dog, yay JellyBean, Good Girl!!” Well apparently Buckeye was not pleased 1 - that I was giving her so much attention and 2- where was all his applause he pooped and peed right away.   

So to show me his displeasure, while JellyBean is still in the middle of her poop – Buckeye casually walks over to her, lifts his leg and pees all over her.  I mean she was drenched in pee. Poor dog is squinting as it rained down on her head but she continued till her poop was out – I yelled at Buckeye that he was bad and what the hell was he thinking – but the dang dog just smiled at me since he apparently was very pleased with his accomplishment.    

I grabbed JellyBean up and quickly brought her inside to the bath tub and clean her off – then she got treats for being so good.   Buckeye still seemed pleased with himself. Damn Dog! I still love him but seriously!
