I’m a Slave to the Kibble
I adore my dog, but her high pitched barking drives me stark raving mad. I do whatever it takes to avoid that bark. She knows this and usually gets whatever she needs by piercing my eardrums until I do what she wants.
I’m a damn human robot. I hate it, but I hate the bark more.
She has a new treat stick that she rolls around the house like a kibble vending machine until it’s empty. Then she runs around my apartment barking until I refill the thing.
The first time is sorta cute, but after three days of this routine I’m ready to take my bloody eardrums back to work for some peace and quiet.

Have you seen the sonic bark collars? They aren’t a shock collar. They make a high pitched noise that you can’t really hear, but it startles the dog and it makes them stop. I hear they work really well on smaller dogs.

I love how she smiles at the end because she knows she is about to get her way…
Pugs are amazingly stubborn little animals, aren’t they. It’s a good thing they’re cute.
Strangely, this is exactly how my children sound when they want something.
At least she is clear on what she wants. My cat will start bitching and for the life of me I have no idea what she wants or how to shut her up!
Cute pic up there in the corner of you and your lil bro!
All growed up!
Barking sucks. So do annoying neighbors who complain about it.
I confused as to why you haven’t taught her any pug sign language. I find it’s helpful and keeps thebarking to a minumum. Henry will scratch the fridge if he’s hungry, straighten his tail when he’s scared, and shit on my bed when he has to go out. We are obviously still working on the last one.
Holy crap, that thing looks like a dildo!! Or is it just me??
That’s pretty much awesome.
