The Dog

Most of you might know that we have a dog. She is a black and tan miniature dachsaund named Allie. She will be 5 years old April 1st. We love her a lot and she has been a good dog, but she does do a few annoying things. First of all, she is a barker. If anything is unusual, she barks. If anyone comes to the house, she barks. If she wants to eat, she barks. She also can be very needy and whiny, especially when Ryan comes home from work. On the other hand, she is very potty trained and never has accidents in the house. She also lets the girls pull on her and play with her and she is gentle. She isn't hyper at all, which is another a plus.

Here is the problem: in the last week, she has eaten 2 of Emma Catherine's dolls. Not just any dolls, 2 that she just got for Christmas. The first one was her Cinderella Barbie doll.
The 2nd was her miniature Belle doll. She ate most of Belle's hair.
The funny thing is that both times, it happended while the girls and I were at the house, but we were upstairs. I am guessing that Allie is jealous and trying to show me that she is mad that she is not with us. Whatever the reason, I am still mad, but I hoping this will not happen again.

I am sorry for your doll loss...but I am also laughing. We HAD a miniature poodle. He left teeth marks on tons of MW's baby dolls and barbie dolls...that was the least of all reasons why we gave him away...(he wasn't good with kids or visitors, or actually anyone for that matter...) I hope Emma Catherine wasn't too terribly upset.

The picture of barbie with half her hair gone seriously cracked me up! Where is the other barbie? Did Allie eat it or just the dress? Too funny!

to clarify, somehow Allie ate the dress right off the Cinderella Barbie. The barbie is actually okay...only a few bite marks on her hand...it's just that now Barbie is naked.
