last straw with my boxer

[mangled]

He's inside, but he goes outside come Spring.

If you're in a cold weather climate, you can't just put them outside, they'll freeze.

Ours has separation anxiety and will DESTROY the house if he isn't kenneled.

I have days when I absolutely hate him. Most days he's a pretty good dog.

I too, have told him to quit being such a dog!

Thank goodness my dog doesnt eat the chicken poo.Although I do have to watch her if she's out while I'm feeding the chickens cause she'll be right there with them eating their corn.I have to make her quit.She's a 5 1/2 yr old pitbull.I've had her 4 yrs & thats how old she acts.Just like a 4yr old kid.She sulks if we leave her here,tells us when she's ready for a nap or to go to bed,cause she wants us to go with her.Usually have to use an umbrella in the rain for her to go out.She doesnt bother the chickens.She did have an encounter with a moma hen & chick....glad I was out there.Moma hen wasnt backing down from the thing trying to sniff her baby haha.

I had a dalmation that rolled in a very old rotten dead sheep one time. Try getting the lanolan and smell off some time. My dog was yellow with it!

It's a common problem, and this article might be helpful:

Remember your dog is just being a dog. What we think is gross is normal for them. Think about it: would you EVER lick your own butt clean?

I have a pet ball python,got her a rat & she didnt eat it.Well it ended up in the garbage on the porch.I could see the front door from my puter...from the corner of my eye I see something fly into the air.Second later I see it again.I go look & my dog had gotten the rat out of the garbage & was playing with it.Tossing it into the air & wallowing on it.Having a good oltime...till she had to have a bath cause she smelled like a dead rat.

dogs can be quite disgusting. My doxies love to roll on a fresh snake kill and one would clean the litterbox -if alllowed and Freddie loves to roll in deer poop. Deer poop stinks really really bad and I can smell him before he even gets close.

My parents farm dogs eat after birth during calving season. They bring it in the yard, lay in the sunshine and enjoy themselves. The vet said, yes its gross...but its high in nutirients and will make the coat nice and shiny. (which is does by the way)

It is what dogs do.

Freddie gets a bath quite often in the spring as do the doxies.

here is an idea...of all the disgusting things that dogs eat, they will not eat skoal, copenhagen...etc...so why in the world would a human put that in their mouth
