I couldn't picture life without a neurotic dog, that would be boring.

Brandy can't be left alone in a room.....even if she can see me. She goes into a panic, running full speed into the room your in. If I stand in a door way and she not sure what room I'm in, she will run full speed in and out, in and out, in and out till I move an inch into a room. Then she happy. If funny when I let her out to pee, she will look at me, run really fast into the yard to find her spot, then runs back to the door, jumping on it till it opens and runs so fast into the house that she a black blurr passing the living room into the kithen, trying to stop and slids into the table or counter. Then panic hit if I'm not in site and runs back into the living room onto the couch, off the couch, onto the couch till she sees or hears a voice. Then calm will hit her and she naps.

Mooch picked up a bad habit form my B.J (who's passed), she can't have things moved out of their place. She will growl/bark at it, as if she afraid it might get her. One day I was painting a table out side that I moved off the deck. Here comes Mooch around the side of the house....dead stop when she saw the table. Growling, barking, trying to nip at the legs of the table. Lets just say that I painted with back ground noise and the table has little teeth marks on the legs. It's odd though, some things can be moved and she has no problem, other things better not ever move.


Then there is Odie, my basket case. He's scared to death of the house. I can't even take him to the vet, the vet comes here for him, sense he wont go into the office. I have to mussle him when those times come up where I have to take him into the house (for a storm) or the vets. I've tried everything to get him over this with no luck. When I got him from the H.S. they told me he had been beaten his whole life and it was so bad when he was brought to them that they didn't belive he make it. I'm assuming he connects the beatings with the house. Now if I leave the front door open he will come in on his own.....but God forbid that door shuts.

At least I will never be bored with these guys around.
