Well....Jasmine, a nine month old black, Lab came to our home.......and it hasn't been the same since! I have never had a dog before and although she is cute, I must say that the saying Cats Rule....and Dogs Drool is COMPLETELY TRUE!!! She is EXCELLENT with the kids, takes sooo much!! But with us she is sometimes uncontrollable....like jumping! No matter how many times we say NO, in an evil, authoritative tone...she still does it! Why? My kids who hear that tone, will do anything I say! I wonder too....with three young kids(6 to 2) is she MORE excitable and energetic cause she sees and hears my kids?? Any thoughts?
The one thing that concerns me is that Katie is afraid to pass her....and now spends more time in her room! Is that right, to make ones child uncomfortable in their own home?
I know this morning, Jasmine was too energetic when I opened the front door...I had thoughts of ALL of us walking to school. I couldn't get Alex out of the house, he was afraid cause she was too GUNG HO on running.
That's another thing...when walking a dog, aren't they suppose to be calm?? She has a collar that tightens, if she gets too far ahead, she is suppose to slow down and walk with me....she is going to strangle herself and pull my arm out of its socket!
I guess you can say that I am having doubts....but I am sure that with proper training she would do better?? Right?? I am just concerned...with our choice/actions in life, how do we know when a mistake was made!? Do we admit it? Accept defeat...or persevere...finding a solution?
One thing though....she can sure CLEAR a ROOM...the gas in her!! I did not know that dogs could fart(pardon the language!).
But its still a transition period....right!??
