A whole week has gone by since Emily got spayed, and the changes have been unexpected.
First, Emily peed on her two red sofa cushions. Then once on the floor. And did a poo, too. Goodbye perfect potty training.
Second, she's started BARKING at me, very loudly and persistently, to pay attention to her. Bratty Mc Brat.
Third, and she's gotten a lot faster too, running around like a scuttling crab.
Fourth, she flies in the face of authority and leaps up on the sofa and coffee table while I'M IN THE ROOM (instead of sneaking around to do it when I'm not).
All in all, the wishful thinking that she might get calmer: DASHED. Definitely not a slower dog.
Then again, the spaying coincided probably with the onset of puberty.
