Dog! Argh!

[mad_andy]

Two weeks ago Axl ripped his foot open. God knows what on, I haven't found anything sharp in the grass so...whatever. The wound was stitched and was healing OK, and of course he decided to belt round the garden for sheer joy at having the bucket off his head, and tore the end of it open again.

Result, if I can keep him quiet for a few more days it might just heal again.

He doesn't want to be quiet. He's bored. I get that. But he has this whinge that he makes down his nose that sounds really horrible - between off key pan pipes and a squeaky gate.

He's been doing it all day. He smashed a mug earlier, mooching round the living room, got put back in the slammer (AKA his indoor kennel) while I cleaned up...whinge whinge whinge.

I know you're bored, dog. I know. I try and play games with you and do interesting things with your food but...,

All he wants to do is run. It's what Axl loves to do. Run and run and run. Nothing else comes close. Run till he's knackered then come home and annoy the cat.

But right now he can't run and so it's whinge-down-the-nose time. I want to throttle him - I know it's not his fault, but it's a noise that scrapes across your nerve endings until you want to scream.

I am seriously not in the mood for this crap.

Anyone want a lurcher, slightly banged up?

My sister's cat loves to drive me insane by incessantly scratching at my bedroom door in the middle of the night, and no amount of kicking her will dissuade her.

Honestly, there is a litter box in the living room for her to use. She does not have to use the one in here...

How long does His Annoyingness have until he can stop being bored?

I may be way out of line, but can't you give him something to, say, dampen his enthusiasm? Something that makes him want to sleep? :/

Have you given serious consideration to changing his name? Poor dog. Poor Andy!

Incessant noises. I feel your pain.

Ear plugs...?

Dobie's gotten into that habit of making some constant noise, so I feel your pain.

*hands over earplugs....see that Rick already has and turns up the music instead.*
