Not such a good day. It started out ok. I was painting the trim in the bathroom and Charlie decided to lay right next to the door and had paint all over his face. I finished and cleaned up and went outside with him. I took out a wet paper towel to get some of the paint off. I was rubbing his ear (normally a very happy thing for him) and he snapped and bit my hand. No skin was broken but it is swollen in the two places where he got me.
There's part of me that wants to give up with him - just get rid of him and forget about him totally. We've got the baby coming in 2 months - we can't have this! Wayne found a trainer (very much like the dog whisperer) out of NY (costs some big$$$ - but it's guaranteed). We have to decide what to do. The problem is that 99% of the time, he's a great dog but the unprovoked stuff just has to stop.
I'm torn. No clue what to do. Guess I just had to vent a bit.

Hey Marsha...sorry about Charlie, I know how you feel! My dogs are difficult with Briahna here. And now twins?? Sorry he bit you. Sometimes our oldest boxer will snap at dh. Most of the time they are outside now. I feel bad though. My mil is going to take them for awhile after these babies get here. I would just think it out before you give him away...maybe there is someone else cheaper to train him?
I can't wait to meet your baby girl!!
Marsha, what a tough decision. Any more thoughts now that it's been a few days? I hope you don't have to get rid of him - that would be so hard. But understandable with a baby on the way too....I hope you are able to find a way to keep your Charlie!
