Maddy: How do I get my human to stop being a jerk?


The new human, who I have decided to call XemaSab, yells a LOT. She's a adult, and she yells about the chair, the rug, the pillows... everything. I have been trying to keep her happy with cute tricks and things, but she keeps getting angry and the other dogs are just blah!

A few minutes ago I was sitting on the couch with a chew toy. Pippi walked into the living room and I totally gave her the stink eye and growled at her. It's my toy she can stay back!

Also yesterday I got too close to Bailey when he was chewing on something, and he totally beat me into the corner. I submitted quickly, but he will have some special flavoring in his dinner tomorrow, just wait and see!

XemaSab don't want me to chew up the house, and I want the other two just to back off!

1. Actually, the part of the story that I left out
is that I'm partly trying to keep her from chewing up our STUFF, but I'm also trying to keep her from chewing on her stitches. She got spayed two days ago. :o

So if I see her chewing on a thing, I've just been trying to give her something better to chew on, but when I see her chewing on the stitches I do yell "NO" and clap my hands.

our Max chewing on something,they don't like the surprise.
