I swear to god our little whippet is turning into a little freakin monster. Here is a breakdown of what this little ADHD dog has accomplished over the past week:
- Rip up an entire New Idea magazine/JB HI Fi Catalogue/TV Guide/other general reading material and leave it strewn over the backyard.
- Rip apart a foam dog bed and leave foam strewn all over the back yard.
- Rip the arm off a teddy-bear and leave stuffing strewn all over the back yard.
- Dig a crater sized excavation right in the middle of the lawn.
- Ignore us totally and not come inside from the park when called.
- Roll her head in the most digusting tan brown dog turd she could find.
- Pull over the kitchen bin in the middle of the night and pull out ALL the rubbish she could find and leave strewn all over the kitchen/lounge/backyard.

Needless to say, she has lost her off-leash rights for a few days until she calms the hell down. I don't know what has gotten into her. She used to be so placid and calm, but now she is a certified nut case. Poor Merlin the greyhound doesn't know what to do most of the time. He just stands there and watches as she goes absolutely nuts. We made up some home made dog food last week out of mince, eggs, rice and vegies which was awesome, and they both loved it, but I'm starting to think that it blew her blood sugar count through the roof. All those carbs! We have run out of it now, so it will interesting to see if she calms down again as a result. I'm hoping so as the backyard looks like a fricken war zone. Maybe we should invest in some weapons grade Bach's Rescue Remedy to bring her buzz down a bit.

Just as a matter of interest .... I read on the net somewhere, that too much protein can create too much energy in dogs ?? They definitely have to have it - but maybe it was the egg ?? I also read that chicken - which dogs apparently go crazy for, is better all round, for them. Also reduces the amount of doggy do-do that happens.

In case you haven't worked this out yet - this is your future M-I-L talking. LOL.
