I need to let it out!

I just need to let it out!! Our dog DUKE is nearly 13 years old. Cute and Scary, would not hurt a fly.

Scott had always wanted a dog, so just after we were married he found Duke at the pound.

10 years on, he is driving me crazy! And turning into an extremely cranky old man who is deaf.

When Scott is away for business, Duke plays up in every way possible.

Last night for example, he got himself stuck under the house after racing in their from the thunderstorm. It was 2am in the morning and he was crying out (he is also deaf, so you can imagine how loud he is when he cant hear himself!).

Just 2 weeks ago, Duke found himself stuck in all sorts of areas in the backyard every night Scott was away. Always in the middle of the night!!!! Is this for attention? Does he know his favourite owner is away and its his turn to get me back for keeping outside on a permanent basis?

People ask how I cope when Scott is away with three kids, my reply, EASY, its the stinking dog that causes me grief!!!!!!!

Thanks for listening! Now I feel guilty and will go give Duke a bone.
