maj, I do like keeping her as opposed to having her on a chain in this heat
but, I sure would like them to visit more often and to take her on walks or to the puppy park OR ESPECIALLY< go get her second and third round of puppy shots.......I can't call the authorities on anyone, I'm mostly like that....accepting.

Her owners think you like keeping her.
Call the ASPCA on her. Maybe they'll get on "Animal Cops"?

Dear RabbitFromTheWoods, I buy her toys constantly, hard rubber and

stuffed animals from the Salvation Army shelves. She has a fishy that makes bubbly water sounds when she bites it just right and a monkey and a gorilla and a beaver just now. Boots seem to taste better.

I try redirection, throw her fishy across the room as I shout and take the boot from her mouth. She runs to get it, kills it and then goes to find another shoe.

I love stuffed animals with noises, because she hears the sounds and then bites and bites until she finds the spot and then hits it again and again, while I laugh. She knows that she is making me laugh, too. Now, she knows every noise spot on every toy. She brings them to me gently in her mouth, drops them on my foot and then bites them on their noise spots, to entertain me. She is too smart.

This new wrestling thing with the other dog is almost too much, they wrestle for about thirty minutes, they never stop until the older dog bites her seriously, then she goes to find a shoe.

Thanks for the suggestions, tho'. Maybe a new noise toy with a really cool noise might redirect her for awhile.

does she have a
toy she is allowed to chew? Perhaps giving her an allowed chewing toy to replace the no no (shoe) each time she chooses incorrectly, and patting/praising when she chooses correctly could help. - good luck!

mcbreeze, that is a strong possiblity. However, she has now taken to
tormenting my rescued Autumn and the two wrestle all day and night, since yesterday. Maybe there is something growing in the garden that she's eating and it's causing this burst of puppitude.
