Well of course they are like that. No one ever wants to admit their own animals misbehave, but when someone else's does, they are the first to point it out.
It is even worse when, in may case I am extended temporarily living with my parents and 4 of the 5 dogs there are mine. We are having huge issues right now with dogs marking in the house, one is mine (he is under extreme supervision now) and the other is my sister's angel, who would NEVER do such things if my INTACT male wasn't around. yeah, right (he is under no supervision btw). yes, this angel who has put large gashes in Gunther's side and who plays super rough with my rat terrier to the point he yelps in pain.
I am counting the days/months until I can get out of here. It is causing bad habits galore in all my dogs.
But I digress......l ol. What was this topic about again? Oh yeah. We had one dog growing up which we didn't get til I was in the 7th grade and she lived outside. My dad prefers dogs outside but has softened up over the years. My mom has never had a problem with dogs in the house until I moved back in and is now even saying she wants to get rid of the cats. But until I added 3 more dogs, my first dog in their eyes was perfect in every way: well behaved, listened well, nice looking, friendly. Her only downside is she sheds tremendously. My parents are embarrassed of all the dogs I have and will only tell people how many I have if they ask..........o therwise they say I have a dog.
