dogdaze

Tiny, my son’s Chihuahua is in the doghouse again. This time, it’s because she keeps running off into the woods near our house. She’s the first one out the door when I let the other dogs out and the very last one to come back inside.

Calling her name doesn’t do any good. Shaking the bag of treats (so she sees or hears it and comes running) doesn’t work either. I literally have to search for her. Too bad I don’t have a bloodhound in the bunch because if I did I would use it to track her down.

Tiny usually comes back after 30 minutes or so. She knows she’s done something bad because she almost always crawls back in the house. I don’t even punish her except to scold her a little.

I’m perplexed at her joy of running off like that. I’m starting to think she is doing this just to annoy me.

Is she playing a game? Hide-and-Seek maybe? I wonder if Dr. Phil can help.
