He's in a foul mood

mellymoo74

He's not being very communicative.
He was there for 4 hours and when he got back his mood was vile.
Lots better now, he still doesn't want to talk about it so am leaving it for now. I don't think leaving it for too long will do him any good so will see if he shares more in the next couple of days.

he is dealing with an awful situation melly - one he must feel helpless about. not to mention the family 'complications'. I can understand the foul mood even if nothing in particular happened. after visiting MIL both OH and I found it hard to speak for hours after - trying to deal with it in our ways. and I found it was sometimes better to say nothing.

I know Meri he's sleeping as he's in a lot of physical and emotional pain.

I am mopping up dog wee because it's all too weird for our male dog and he's acting up alot.
Work tomorrow I'm tired but too keyed up to sleep

I give up male dog is acting up really badly. OH is fast asleep I apparently am not allowed to go to bed any attempt will lead to either weeing everywhere, barring the bedroom door, pulling the throw off etc.

Tired, fed up

Its a horrendous time for him melly. I feel for him - he had a terrible childhood, but he loves his mum. she is dying and he has to deal with that. which can really devastate people. he also has all these other issues - any one of which could be soul destroying. I am surprised he is still sane! seriously, he has an awful lot to assimilate. I think you are doing fine - you love him, you support him and you are THERE for him. the occasional 'spat' because he is overwhelmed and in a moody - you get over that. and that is so important. He may not show it now - but I bet he will remember who (You) was the one helping and supporting him.


I think male dog may be sensing tension and is making his bid for Alpha Male. he seems to be 'marking his territory' and If I were you - he would get put right back in his place. RE- Training regards housetraining and being very strict with him.

Spats are what they are, he gave me a hug earlier to make up for being truly horrid when he got back. I still think he needs additional support but have backed off a little on that.

Just jealous he's asleep lol (I know he needs it though) and hacked off with the male, blumin Jack Russells told OH they are a pain but no he fell in love with a poor flea allergy (looked like mange he had no fur) ridden bundle of patheticness so we brought the willful stubborn clever thing home and he worships OH so he's not a happy dog at the min he keeps trying to make it better by giving loves and threatening anyone who goes near.

I would think your right but my male knows the girl is in charge lol does exactlywhat she tells him. He just wants to be with his dad and to make him better I think (keep catching him looking at him and it's OH chair he's scenting telling the girl to back off I think)

Made it in woohoo can't sleep but at least lying down. Might get some zyklene my male doesn't cope with change and it's going to be very tops turvy for awhile.
