“This must be what going mad feels like.”

I think Yara is trying to drive me insane tonight. She’s fine so long as she’s not anywhere near the front door. She’ll lay quietly and chew on a bone or contentedly bat a toy around or even snuggle up close to me. But the second she gets up for any reason she inevitably heads for the front door; where she camps out and starts up that obnoxious whining thing of hers. Literally, I’ve gone to fetch and distract her away from the door six separate times tonight.

Oddly, the whining isn’t even the thing that bugs me the most, it’s the camping out by the front door because she starts growling and barking at anything she thinks is on the other side. It’s really just the worst habit to let her get into, especially as a guide dog.

I think it’s a loosing battle, though.

    2. Josette feels the need to tell me about anything that happens within her giant earshot. Part of the wonders of having a GSD I suppose :)

    3. Really, Yara would be perfect, save for the whining. I wish I knew what exactly interests her so much about my front door; it’d make it far simpler to entice her to not camp by it all the time.

Tell me what you're thinking...
