It's me, Shayne. Boy oh boy it has been a tough week for me. BUT I have made lots of headway with Phyllis. I now come out of my bed and walk into the other room where Phyllis is. I let her touch me now. I really really want to walk right up to her and be cuddled but I don't know how yet. I have one big problem that Phyllis gets annoyed with. Shhe never says anything to me but I can tell it doesn't make her happy. I poop in my bed. I am sleeping and all of a sudden I have the urge to poop so I just stand up and do it. She wahes more beds than ever before she said to me one morning this week as she was spraying the room so it won't smell.
Phyllis got big black gloves of cotton,and all this week she has picked me up with the glove on. It scares me a little but it's Phyllis getting bit, orr me being scared of the glove. She wins every time.
I like to pee outside and stay dry all night. I don't know what the big deal is about where I poop but evidently Phyllis thinks it is a big deal.
So my week has been pretty routine. It goes like this: Get up in the morning and wait for Phyllis to come for me with the glove. I try to bite and hate to be held. So she picks me up and holds me until I get tired of struggling with her and then she walks me outside where I love to pee. Then I follow her around the block and she picks me up to take me in the house. She holds me again and I try to get away but she holds on till I stop struggling. Not fun for me but today things changed
First let me tell you a little about Phyllis. She never remembers where she puts anything. Her keys, glasses, phone, etc So this morning she couldn't find the glove. Yesterday when she got me and picked me up it was the first time I did not try to bite her. She gave a big Whoooppee which was a litttle unsettling but I know she was happy about something.
This morning she could not find the glove. What else is new!
It didn't make any difference because I have stopped trying to bite her. She says that's a big deal and was very happy. When she picks me up now I still wiggle and try to get away but I don't bite her anymore. And I don't struggle as much.
I have also started following her around the house. I keep my distance but am starting to think that there is at least one person I have met that doesn't want to hurt me or neglect me. She feeds me any time I feel like eating and talks to me all the time when I seem nervous
The night before last when she saw me start to poop in my bed she as just starting to put her pajamas on. She grabbed her bottoms and while pulling them up she got me and took me out mid poop. I didn't finish. She scared the poop back in instead of out of me.
.
When I lie in my bed I let Phyllis come and pat me any time she wants. If I am following her around and she turns to pet me I am on guard but all she does is speak softly to me an then I let her pat me.
Phyllis told me that some day I may be able to go to a forever home but we have lots of work to do.
I like it here. I know I will like it more and the days go on.
Life is starting to be good now and maybe, just maybe I can be a happy, playful, housebroken dog.
MAYBE.......I will let you know.
