So now what we are dealing with is her aggressiveness towards men, strangers, other dogs, bikes, cats, Lacey, Me, and her peeing on the rug in the bedroom and the bed itself. We are on the road to recovery! :-) Well almost...
Since I've been in school and have been spending more time at home Lily has started a new thing which is oh SO wonderful that I thought I would share it with you.
So our usual routine is Brandon walks them in the morning, I feed them around 5 and walk them around then as well. Well school has altered that schedule a bit but Lily has altered it more.
Yes, they still go on their morning walk, but moments after I get up Lily believes she wants to have her food. Doesn't matter if it is 8, 9, or 10 AM and this is how she tells me...
Yes she incessantly barks at my face...over and over and over and over and over...literally she can do it for hours. Until FINALLY I give in and give her food, or walk her, or play with her.
Now if you notice in the video I show you what happens when I tell her "no." She just barks LOUDER and LOUDER and closer to my face.
I get up walk around ignoring her and the moment I sit back down she starts to bark again. It is just plain AWESOME!
So finally I just give in. To show how she is controlling my life - today she ate half her food at about 10:30 after 45 minutes of barking. She got the rest of her food at about 2:30 when I got back from a meeting I had. Then they had their walk at 3:00.
BTW - this is what she does when I finally give in and ask her what a "walk" is what she wants.

she sure is cute
