My Girlz
Jun 11, 2009, 01:36 PM
I have two wonderful 8 yr.old mini doxies. One I have had since she was 10 weeks old(Oakley) that we purchased from the breeder and the other was a rescue from a puppy mill(Tasha) that we have had for 2 years. Both dogs are great, the rescue dog is so happy all the time that she never gets worried or upset, she just goes with the flow. My other girl is very attached to me, she always has been but has never acted out. My husband and I work during the day and the girlz have run of the main floor of our house and it has never been a problem. Last week the house alarm went off while the girlz were home alone. Oakley found the whole thing very traumatic and since this happened (a week ago) as soon as we leave in the morning she has started ripping up my carpet on my stairs, she has never behaved like this ever. She is not crate trained and is actually horrified of crates so I think she may be more traumatized by being crated. Any info would be greatly appreciated... my house can't take anymore damage. Thank you in advance :)
