My dog pee'd on the Christmas tree!!!

[Darin]

I went upstairs and stepped in something wet in front of the tree. Turned on the lights and see the tinkle tracks. DOH!!! And being my Rottie is my only male dog so I knew who did it. So I brought him over to smell what he did and corrected him so I don't think it'll happen again.

But think about it...what must the dog be thinking? We bring a tree into the house. Dogs pee on trees right? LOL I bet he's pretty confused but he didn't do this last year. But in the last year he finally started cocking his leg to pee. He's 3 1/2 years old and neutered.

Anyway...good thing we didn't string the lights on it yet LMAO:eek:

i gotta cat. shes 17 yrs old and blind. she sleeps all day and then for the past 9 months she won't use the litter box. i dont' know why. she would go (#1 and #2) on the carpet so my dad just kept waiting to put new carpet down. now my cat is so lazy that we put a litter box right where she usually goes on the carpet and that damn feline craps less than 6 inches from it.


no pets for me and my family when i get older. maybe a fish-one flush and it'll be outta my life.

One of my cats (Tommie Girl) likes to climb my artificial Christmas tree (I'm allergic to real). We'll be sitting on the couch, and hear the tinkling of the ornaments and I'll see her shimmying up the trunk. I just go over and reach my hand in really fast --- she comes shooting out the side. LMAO... quite a site to see. I feel like I'm in the Christmas Vacation movie.
danah, my kitty was doing that for a little while, but thank goodness it was on the concrete. I called the vet and they told me that once the odor is there, the cat will continue to go there. I ended up with 3 litter boxes downstairs so she has a choice, plus I threaten to kill her anytime she starts squatting. You may have to pull up the carpet to get her to stop.
My brother bought me fish/fishtank for Christmas one year when I couldn't have pets in my apartment. It traumatized me whenever one of them died (it happened often), so I would call him up and thank him for the fish-Kavorkian machine... he got so tired of hearing it, that he took the tank back. :D

Yesterday my dog sh!t in my shoe. I used to love that dog. *sigh*

I have a Christmas tree cat too. She's a pain in the ***!!! I have ceramic tile floors and she gets into the trees and bats at the glass ornaments until they fall, busting all over the floor.

Friffffin' frafffffin'!!!!!! Bah-HUMBUG!!!

You know, dogs roll around in urine and eat their own crap from thime to time. Rubbing his nose in it or correcting him is probably not going to be efficient. You must correct a dog during the act in order for the animal to relate the act to the correction. Your Rottie was not aware that you were correcting him for peeing, all he knows is you corrected him for whatever he was doing at THAT moment.

They don't think like humans.

But I understand your frustration over it. We built a gazeebo in the backyard complete with mesquito netting curtain things. My GSD decided they would be fun to tug on and exercize with. Of course, he tore them up. I had to "bait" him with cheapo fake ones and catch him in the act to get him to stop. Those things were not cheap either. :(
