minke..the minkster...minkola..minky spinky all names for my 'beloved' Labrador of 13 years. Notice the ".." because right at this very moment there isn't a whole lotta love between me and the minkster. Why you may ask...well let me tell you - minke has taken to barking up a storm and not really loud stranger danger barking, whiny single barks, that even though I try to ignore them they don"t stop. You know Dr Harry often says its just behaviour and responding gives him what he wants, well there is only so much you can ignore at 7 o clock on a Saturday morning. SO I traipse out of bed to give him some food and anti-psychotic dog medication (seriously) and this calms him down for lets say about 1/2 hour. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. and you know every time I go to him he is at the back door and his tail is wagging - does this sound like a dog that is in distress or a dog that is playing the system. Well it has to end. My sister said to me this morning " Did I have dream that you said you were going to murder minke" to which I replied " No mon frere - it was not a dream !"...

Do we need to do an 'intervention' here ? Poor Minke - somebody's gotta save him from certain death...as you rightly point out - he might very well deserve it....OK - I think I have just had an epiphany - have you consider taking HIS meds whenver you are feeling stressed as they sure aren't workin' on him ?
I have always told you that you could produce the most interesting pet diary/book if you collected all of your tails (mind the pun)...so perhaps we now have the very forum ??
