Don't be deceived by this picture! This dog is not as sweet and innocent as helooks!!!
Caught in the act....a pair of Miss P's pants he grabbed while i was inthe middle of folding her clothes!
I have had several people ask me where I got Miss P's bows. I purchased them on ebay. The seller is The Bowtique. I just ordered 10 more. She has a HUGE selection of colors and patterns.
I leopard shoes are from www.babybellamaya.com.
Now I am asking for advice dear fellow bloggers. My wonderful canine Mr.Norman Eugene has taken really well to Miss P. That is the good news, the bad news is that he has realized there is someone else in the house getting more attention than him. What this means is that Norman is doing WHATEVER he can to get my attention. This dog has turned into a monster(not that he was ever an angel to begin with;) he steals her toys or really anything laying around that he knows does not belong to him. These objects not always easy for him to get either, I don't know how he manages to get some things....then he just runs around with said stolen object dangling out of his mouth.( i admit seeing him with a pacifier in his mouth was pretty funny..my mom's glasses, not so much!) Chasing him gets me no where because he is really fast and then he thinks it is a game. I have began ignoring him when he takes something(well unless it is something like my moms glasses) and he is having a hard time with that....he will make a point to walk in front of me repeated times or he will come and find me to show me he has something he shouldn'. He also will bring cat poo in and eat it right in front of me(something he surly knows I cant tolerate!) I find I am hollering at him more and more everyday. I shudder to think what he may be up to next!

Exercise, discipline, food, affection - in that order. He needs to go on a walk in the morning, before anything else. Maybe make it a morning ritual to take Paige and the puppy for a mile-walk around the neighborhood.
After reading "Cesar's Way" by the Dog Whisperer himself, our lives are so much more pleasant with our two large dogs.
You're right; he's bored. And he's doing everything in his power to get you to pay attention to him. He needs to be too pooped to cause trouble, and only exercise will help that.
Good luck!
That's so funny - he's definitely looking for attention! Unfortunately, I don't have any words of advice, but I am interested to hear what kind of advice you get, because we have a jack russell too and I am super nervous about how she will be once the baby comes. I do think more exercise might help Norman, we started doing agility training with Lola this past year and when we decided to take the summer off, she immediately began acting up, chewing on things she wouldn't normally chew on, and I think she was letting us know that she was pissed that we stopped doing agility! Maybe you could look into agility classes in your area? Good luck!
PS - I love seeing pics of Norman, I'll have to post some of Lola when I get a chance.
also love the pics!!!!
she is right with her "Exercise, discipline, food, affection - in that order." it is true. I do not like Cesar though AT ALL. He is bored and lonely. I do not know how PEanut our chihuahua will be able to tell the difference b/t her toys and lulu's toy's. I once opened a gift bag while sitting on the couch and it was a stuffed animal monkey.... she jumped up and tried to take it. I think that will be the biggest adjustment for her.
Yes, Keeneye is right! Give Norman his own time to let him know that he still has a place with you, and to exhaust him!
We have a Jack Russell and he seems to be in tune when things are "out of sorts" around the house. They're such smart doggies! BTW...love your song. My site has the same one.
Lets see... when it comes to Norman, have you tried beating him? Mostly about the muzzle area? I figure, a few slaps, and have Chris bring out the shoe a few times... Maybe tie his toes in little knots! Or stake him down in the middle of the yard and eat prime rib just out of his reach. That should do the trick! ;) ~Paige's mean Aunt
LOL!!! We have a Jack Russell too...I SO know your pain...ours is 8 and beleive me, it never subsides...
You have a beautiful family!
