what to do with Bella

linnie · 02-05-2005, 04:19 AM

Heres the pic first

Butter wouldnt melt in her mouth... but... she is a monster in disguise

Her main aim in life is to destroy the house. yesterday it was a designer bear that now resembles something from terminator today it is the phone link that connects me to the internet, my passionfruit that are trying valiently to ripen before she devours them and the vine they grow on that she is trying to sever from its rootstock.
I gardened yesterday.. she helped :shiver:
Sonja assures me by the time she is 2 life will become peaceful again
Only 5 months to go.... wooohooooooo
The question is .. will I make it

sheltiepups · 02-05-2005, 07:33 AM

aww send her to me.. we don't have anything in this house that hasn't been chewed on by us kids * forget about the dogs.. *

you'll make it, you'll make it !

You could try crating her when you don't want her to get into things with a stuffed kong.

Crossfire Bulldogs · 02-05-2005, 09:09 AM

lol Linnie now I know that Miss Izzie is just a misunderstood

and she only rebels because she wants to come visit Aunty Sonja.

The world may not be total peace when she hits two but you will start seeing some improvement as she begins to mature a bit. We've just got to find something that really strikes her fancy that moves as quick and as often as she does to keep her attention. lol Gotta love a Tibbie!

roflmao bella would die of misery if i crated her. It is a practice that is not so used in Australia.

Sonja the reason I wont send Bella out to you is because I love your Bullys to much to put them through the terror of izzie after them

Ohhh yesssss Linnie, get another Tibbie and watch the fun really start!!! Hehehehe Seriously though, another closer to her age or younger might just be enough to wear her out.

FurryAngel33 · 02-05-2005, 05:05 PM

Don't worry you'll make it!!!!

blahblah blah

ChiChi · 02-05-2005, 07:51 PM

LOL! i was gonna get a Tibbie!! AWW I love those dogs! they are just sooo great!

***Carrie*** · 02-05-2005, 08:44 PM

Oh....what a cute picture! Yup....puppies will be puppies. LOL.

kerriebeth21 · 02-05-2005, 08:57 PM

I wouldn't really plan on her becoming a perfect dog 5 months from now. Some dogs are "puppies" their whole lives! My 5 year old jack russell sure hasn't calmed down since I've had her. Granted she doesn't destroy things...but she's still just as active as she was when she was a puppy!

I so had to laugh when i realised you had a jack russell... I know them and have yet to see one settle down lol just so full of life.
Actually truth be known i wouldnt care if Bella was the same all her life

I am addicted to the spoilt little brat.
Chloe and Farley I have been thinking seriously of a play mate for Bella but am a bit worried how my sick Chloe would cope :shiver:

Michelejc · 02-07-2005, 09:03 AM

get the pup a kong and fill it with peanut butter....freeze it..then give that to the pup. It will keep the pup occupied for a long time....

linnie · 02-08-2005, 02:36 AM

it would keep three dogs occupied... trouble is they would be busy fighting each other for it.
My girls dont like to share

I have got an assortment of toys dropped around the house..that helps a bit.
Question????? How safe is it to give your dogs peanut butter????

oc_spirit · 02-08-2005, 07:18 AM

quite safe but it is very fattening. I prefer to take the dogs regular serving of food and if it's kibble, add a bit of water t it to soften it then stuff it in the kong and freeze it, if its homecooked put it in the blender (add water only if necessary) and stuff that into the kong and freeze it. This way the dog still is occupied for a while but isn't getting an extra load of treats.

Cheers!
