This dog showed up at our house nosing around and we figured we'd let him stay. We already had 5 cats, 2 dogs and 2 rabbits. Oy. We figured, "what the hell, we have a fenced in back yard". And all was well. Except he considers our Maltese a chew toy - they have fun - but it freaks out my wife. And our 16 year old deaf cocker spaniel gets blindsided by him because he wants to play.
The cats love him, and he loves them too. My daughter thinks he is great. But we've got some problems. First off, both my wife and I work, and there is no time to play with him as he is obviously a puppy. I'm guessing six months old. So far, he's chewed up everything in the backyard, scratched a hole clean through our back door, started standing up the picnic bench on the back porch and damaging the kitchen window, he has ate every flower on the back porch, and he sat on our glass picnic table until it finally burst beneath him one day while we were gone.
Nothing is safe. We used to let the little critters go in and out the dog door, but they are too scared now. So they're locked in our sunroom during the day now, and we come home to dog pee and poo on the floor (instead of in the backyard, which is a hell of a place to do the funky chicken when you have a dog that thinks that a maltese in full squat is obviously a FUN TIME TARGET). We have a three legged cat, but luckily he has learned how to scale the fence pretty well, and he runs away pretty good from this dog, albeit diagonally. This confuses the big dog, this diagonal cat, and out of frustration he goes and tries to sit on the maltese.
To be fair, the hole he bored in our back door was somewhat easy for him, as the door was dry rotted and slated for replacement anyways. his nose sticks through the hole like Jack Nicholson.... "Heeeeeeerrre's DOGGY!!!"
In a perfect world, I would love to keep him. He is a man's dog. He is loving, affectionate, knows how to SIT, loves massages, and is really a good dog. I really don't care for my wife's dogs, because I'm a cat person. I thought "aw heck, what's the harm in keeping him?" The harm is that I can't come home from work every day and spend several hours fixing all the destruction he's caused because he has noone to play with. So basically this just sucks all the way around.
So give this rascal a home somewhere where he has some big friends to play with, or if you have a small dog that you would like to punish with the world's biggest playmate. Or if you have something that needs to be reduced to shreds - this dog can do it.
Call me at 615-525-7709. Smyrna area off exit 70. Send help before my wife has a nervous breakdown, or we are reduced to small dog chewed bits of rubble.
Tick tock tick tock.....
