It sounds like Bhodi wants attention, any way he can get it. Sorta like kids, even bad attention is still attention.

My only suggestions are to keep garbage and toys out of his reach. Frequent trips outside for bathroom visits and high praise for when he 'goes' correctly outside. Perhaps he can be baby-gated into a particular room?
Otherwise...outside dog with limited amounts of time indoors under constant and vigilant, supervision.

Here is a pic of Cochise when he was about 22 years old.

This is the model that was modified (roman nose) to look like Cochise and will be painted to match:

Those are lovely memorials. And if I dont miss my guess, your plastic pony is from Breyer?

How are siamese? Do they need another cat as companionship? Not because you have your boys together. I am thinking of getting a siamese.

My pain level is much worse and Bhodi has been reacting to it poorly.
He is going in the house, chewing my son's toys and getting into garbage. It is like he is a puppy again.
Problem is that I could slip on urine and fall very easily. In a lot of ways the walker is more dangerous than a cane and I have to use it now. If I break my hip, I will not walk again and it could kill me.
I do NOT want to have to get rid of him, but do not know what to do. I love him very much. His affection helps me deal with my condition a great deal. I spend a lot of time alone.

I've hung a bell by the door here and am teaching the new pup to ring it to get let out.

Do you have a pet door?

Past Siamese haven't needed company, but this guy craves it. He's amazingly friendly, and social toward everyone and anyone. I have never had an animal that was this loving.

A meezer will typically only latch on to one person; but not this lil fella.

Kris, is your meezer a young kitty? Or is your orange-guy just HUGE?! (polydactyl, too)

My memorial arrived today!
I loved this horse. He was given to me by an Okie neighbor (who I also loved, am still very good friends with his widow) when I was in High School. I had Cochise for 18 wonderful years and many hours/miles of riding all year round, right up to the day before I had to have him euthanized at the age of 29.

Spot on, Wolf! It is a Breyer (San Domingo) model I had re-painted by an artist. The SD model has much better conformation than Cochise ever had, but the head-tilt is all Cochise! I have collected Breyers since 1974 and have nearly 400 of them.

I think the artist did a fabulous job!

We have a door and he used to use it all the time, he is doing ok now, but still slips-up. Does not make any sense.

Might be a good idea to have the vet check for trouble. :cool:

How old is Bhodi? Sometimes bathroom troubles can be age related..but for some reason I'm thinking he is a younger (under 6) dog?
Any major changes to the household he may be "protesting" about?

Anyone who has owned a long haired pooch in a snowy locale can relate to this. Not my dog, but reason #47 why I want a short haired one someday...

Shawnee123 01-10-2007 04:18 PM

Oh,wow...that is great, labrat! :)

Hoof Hearted 01-10-2007 08:30 PM

LabRat, is that dog's name "Snowball"? :D

My condition is getting a lot worse, the last couple of months has been very bad. He is visibly worried about me. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with it. Hounds are very sensitive.
He gets lots of attention, he spends all day with me.
Edit:
We are pretty sure he is about three, we know he is less than four.
