My parents are heading downstate, to pick up some items from my departed Grandmother's house. So my dad brought their dog, Annie, down to my house today for me to take care of while they are gone. Annie is 15, cant see well, cant hear well, has a twitch in one paw, lumps & bumps, and a weak back end. However all in all, she is quite healthy!
When I got home, I was greeted by incessant, unrelenting barking. She would NOT stop, and not let me pet her. I directed the dogs outside, and they went. 5 minutes later Annie was done, and barking first at the back door, then realized that wasnt working, and moved to barking at the front door. I waited her out another 5 minutes, then decided to give in. She proceeded to bark at me again, a very uncompromising bark at that. It is dinner time. I dished up both dogs their dinner, and that seemed to settle her down. Then she played for about 10 minutes with some toys, and we had a slight altercation with the orange gorilla toy, which Mocca snatched away from Annie. I made her give it back, explaining to Mocca that Annie is old, and can have the toy if she wants! I dont think Mocca understood, she just looked away, quite displeased with the situation.
Now Annie is a bit settled, but I expect will be wanting a chew soon, then outside, then biscuit...maybe some petting in between. Lets hope for an easy night~!
