Freud, our adorable 2 year old golden retriever, is in love. Freud has had many loves in his brief time in this world. He likes to spread his good stuff to as many lovely ladies as possible. Freud has been "fixed" since he was just a wee pup but this has not stopped him or his love machine. Freud's new girlfriend, I'll call her Sally, has lasted far longer than the rest. I don't think that it's because she is prettier or has a better personality, I just chalk it up to the fact that she's quite a sturdy lass.
Simply put, Freud isn't gentle. In fact Dave and I have had to on many occasions remind him that he needs to treat her like a lady. After our reprimand he'll usually heed our advice for a minute or so but soon enough he's back to biting and growling at her. Dave and I have had to resort to locking Sally away, which isn't fair to anybody really, but what else can we do? We don't want Sally to go the way of all the other girls in his life. The others have been ripped to shreds. It's frustrating because these ladies cost quite a lot. A couple haven't even lasted through a day of his amorous attacks.
Freud's lady love is a huge canvas bed. She cost us 130 bucks and I will not tolerate another tossed away bed. As soon as he sniffs her out and lays on her to soften her up, he immediately goes to humping the stuffing out of her. He picks her up in his teeth and tosses her around liek a rag doll. This dog in his one and a half years with us has made it through more than 10 beds. I know what your thinking, I should make him suffer without a bed. But he just loves them so much that I can't bare to leave him without one for long. Dave is even worse about it than I am. But look at him... could you resist this face?
