Anger

[TheEarl]

God I'm so angry! I've come home from a hard day's work to discover my cat has puked and shat on the carpet, my dog has crapped and my other dog has diarrhea and has created a nice brown puddle for me to find. I've come home, singing, full of the joys of spring into a kitchen that looks as though Tracy Emin has been let loose.

Now the dogs are quailing is separate corners of the house, the cat is sulking under the kitchen table and I am yelling at the top of my voice at the fact that we are in the process of moving house and, although I have the incontinent pets here, all of the mops and cleaning equipment are in the new house. So far, my rage has broken two cupboards and a doorlock and may claim more casualties if I continue to storm around the house.

So I decided to come here and vent instead. Much less destructive.

1. Cats and dogs are susceptible to the vibes of any impending change. Their gastrointestinal emanations may be a reaction to what they preceive as an impending disruption.

2. During a move, proper food storage can often be a problem. Are you certain that their food has been / is being properly handled?

Sadly the reasons are rather simple. My Burmese cat has thrown up and crapped because she is 17 years old, very cranky and wolfs down her food. My bearded collie has shat on the floor because he's on steroids and my alsation has got diarrhea, because she won't leave her own shit alone.

Sadly I understand exactly and so it makes my teddy throwing a bit unfair to them. Still doesn't mean it won't be my first reaction though.

Poor things.

Alsations/German Shepherds have a tendancy to do that. It's bred into them, in fact. It's meant to be so that they clean up after themselves, thus not giving them away to other animals, etc. Pain in the arse, though. My Dad has to watch over his Sheppy constantly, in case she decides to gobble it down. Eeeeew!

Luckily, Border Collies are more socially acceptable dogs.

Even if he does tend to run around like crazed lunatics in an arena, when they are supposed to be jumping over gates, weaving through poles, and showing his proud Mummy just how well he can climb an A-frame.

Nah, he did good, I'm proud. It's only his third week in agility, and he's already mastered all the equipment off lead. The trainer said it's all down to his good sense of humour. Yeah, like I was laughing.

Anyway, yeah, sorry, got to waffling a bit there. Don't take it out on them, they didn't mean to upset you. Go and do what Burley suggested and bang your head a bit.
