Having gone several months without Draco my manchester terrier, it was felt by some that the official mourning period had ended. While I'm not too sure I am ready for this, enter Quilla (yes like Tequilla, I didn't name her). Now the cats and Draco had a mutual live and let live philosophy. Quilla appears to have a different plan in mind. WPD...Yes...Weapons of Pup Destruction. She's a very tiny dog, part Shih tzu and some type of terrier, only 6 weeks old, yet even when three cats decided to try to perform an ambush she demonstrated her asian fighting roots and made them run. One cat, who is temporarily staying with us that belongs to my oldest daughter and who the other cats are not fond of has decided he likes the puppy. I believe this is a covert operation in which Tangerine is attempting to win the puppy to his side knowing that this is his chance to get revenge on the others.

Awww.... Sounds like she's going to grow up to be a little terror.
Yes, if Osama wanted a dog? She'd probably be a good choice...
Today we did accomplish the concept of the crate though, she's very intelligent. After the past two days of screaming like she was being murdered when locked in her crate she went into it all by herself last night when she was tired and did again today. Not to shabby for a six week old.
:-)
The Department of Homeland Security has this pup on a watch list. DO NOT let it near your PC, because it will use your browser to contact al-Qaeda for further instructions on activating its terror cell.
lol - so much for any future travel plans....watch I'd have the first dog on a terrorist watch no fly list.

Cute puppy.
Maybe our two puppies are in cahoots. Franki has not accepted the crate yet. She sometimes will lay halfway in it so she is in her bed but we can't close the door. She also doesn't accept that the one cat runs the house and the other is too scared of everything to bother. I am also pretty sure she is trying to rip Lilly's ears off so Lilly can't warn us when Franki decides to take over
Quilla has the crate down extremely well, however I think that is a ploy to lull me into a false sense of security.
I think she was talking to Franki about the biting thing though...She seems to think Aubrey is a giant kid chewtoy....
:-)
So, have you sold the story yet?
It sounds like a winner to me :-)
And, Quilla is a real sweetheart too ;-)
One word of advice, sleep with one eye open at all times. Better yet, never sleep again.
I can tell you're already hooked sucker, Quilla has a new, permanent home :-)
I'm waiting a few days to try to sell the story HT, but I'm hoping someone really cool can play me.
No Katie Holmes though...
:-)
I am pretty sure that Franki knows how to open the crate, but hasn't found the right time to take us prisoner yet. Fraki thinks Mama is a chew toy, and Lilly too, she likes to bite me, but my deeper voice helps encourage her to stop. I have plenty of marks from her teeth though. Her favorite thing to go for is my ear lobe. Those puppy teeth could pierce my ear.
Thankfully Quilla is smart enough to realize I'm the one in charge. After a few temper tantrums, she's learned when I say "shame...shame" in a very mean voice to knock it off. However, she doesn't respect the girls at all. Frankly I think she's laughing at them....
I agree on the sharp teeth part, though Quilla is alot smaller than Franki...they hurt...like tiny surgical needles....

Hey everyone, inside scoop ... invest in a squirt bottle manufacturer. The stock is about to SKYROCKET! Tonight, the teacher of my new little sister (aka vampire bat) said a squirt of lemon juice and water mixed together will help cure her biting -- er, at least from biting Mama's arms all the time. So I think my mama and papa are going to buy every last bottle out there. Hope this doesn't cause an international panic. Actually, I just hope it works. Then they can move on to figuring out how to stop the little terrorist from pulling out all my hair. She probably has more of my hair in her stomach than a dozen cats' hairballs.
Woof!
Lilly, you are my most favorite, thank you!
Trainers here suggested the whole yelp type ouch thing which worked with my manchesters but not with this little monster. She seems to enjoy inflicting pain. I will try that.

I've tried to dissuade my own little biter with little success. We're up to a three-stage approach.
We started with redirection. It worked once for twenty seconds (and yes, I did count). We moved on to scolding. Which upsets him, but doesn't deter him. Then we added the pop as stage two. The pop is a tap to the mouth (I'm not above corporal punishment). As the third and final stage it's banishment and bed. This works...at least in the sense that I no longer get bit.
Usually I use each stage seperately, but today after biting my in a tender spot (teeth do hurt) he got all three in rapid succession.
Oh, and I probably should mention that my little biter is a three year old boy, not a puppy, but still...
When we yelp or exaggerate ouch, she pounces because she senses weakness
Yeah, my little biter shows no remorse either. He thinks it's a game and giggles the whole time...until it comes to the pop, which makes him cry...and come right back and bite me again.
We both have killers...plain and simple...I may never sleep with both eye's shut again....
:-)
