Doggie Drama
We went on vacation for about 9 days in August. Boogalu's foster mom was wonderful and doggie-sat the both of them.Then the drama. I guess we're not allowed to leave for extended periods like that. Pearl started messing in the house again. Boogie started marking in the house! Boogalu also started being finicky with his food. We were at our wits end!
We noticed some bare spots beginning to show up on Boogalu again and assumed the mange was back. We figured he was stressing out and anxious hence the marking and bald spots. So Jim takes him to the vet and gets medicine. I love our vet. She gave us mange medicine and an herbal calming medicine. The difference has been as sharp as night and day. Friday, Boogie marks in the house twice While I Was HOME! Friday night new meds. Saturday - not a single accident from either of them. Hasn't been one since. Notta. And they have been left alone for about 10 hours at a stretch.
The pictures are posted as proof we haven't strangled them out of frustration. They are both so sweet when they are behaving. Pearl is learning sit. It's been a slow process. Boogie learned things pretty quick, but Pearl waits to make sure she really has to sit before she does it. I think she has this passive-aggressive thing going on. She can be pushy!

Wow! Glad they're doing better now!
Sorry about the bad behaviour. That's why dogs are made so cute, so we forgive the bad stuff! I'm glad it seems to be working out.
Claudette - We are truly lucky in our beagles. :) They really haven't shown a propensity for chewing things they shouldn't. Boogie likes yarn and thread, so I have to be careful about where I put my sewing. So far, Pearl has barely chewed her toys, much less anything else.
Julia - Cuteness goes a long way!
