truly our darling little Tilly has personality, frankly one of the reasons we adore her so much. she has her quirks, and issues, but we cope as best as we can whilst skipping down the puppy path, bully sticks in hand.
little dogs have attitude - at times they not only think they are larger dogs, they also act like it. they will mark, nip at other dogs approaching their "master," and generally misbehave for attention.
lately it has been pooping in the bathroom - 'but humanz, i am pooping in the BATHROOM!' - crafty isn't she?
truly, it is a little miss-behavior, even if stinky. she has her reasons, namely that her humans keep bringing over rescue dogs for "puppy slumber parties." we get it, Tlz, we understand the statement and sentiment. we get it already - every morning.
we will try harder, knowing that many animal behavior issues are caused by treatment or environment. we will take you out not only after dinner, but a few more times in the evening (even volunteers can be lazy after 10pm.) we will restrict access to the bathroom to break the habit, but know you are a smart little pup and will find another place (if we don't take you out before bed - bad humanz.)
concerning the other random orphans we bring home, well little Tlz, that is one you may just have to suck up. you have your treetop paradise to retreat to, which just happens to contain our comfy bed, and you get lots of cuddles and loves when we bring them in. your own space, love, and delicious delicious chicken - i mean, c'mon! remember, we brought you in too, you'll need to learn how to share (yes, even the bonez you completely ignore when other dogz aren't around.)
