I do not know what to do with this fucking dog. When we're there, he's great, the best dog ever. But when we go to work or out, he fucking tears our house apart. He's ruined the guest room, a nearly empty room where we had him. He scratched up the door and window sills, torn and destroyed the blinds, shit on the floor, knocked the sliding closet doors off their tracks and ripped the back off of a wooden dresser, in addition to taking a corner out of one of the drawers. So in an effort to save our guest room, we moved him to the laundry room. It's got cement floors and three doors, all of which we reinforced last night with wood panels. We angled the washer and dryer so he couldn't get to the hoses. We took everything out of there that he could possibly get to. And today when APGIL got home, Chance had ripped one of the panels off of the door and is nearly all the way through. If we put him in there tomorrow, he will get through. Now that door is ruined and we have to replace it.
We can't put him in a crate. He rubbed his nose raw on the bars and hurt his foot, and on his second day in the crate he busted down the front of the crate and got out. We thought about tying him outside but it's getting cold and he'll just stand out there and bark all day. This afternoon APGIL is taking him to the vet because he coughed up blood on Sunday morning, and we think it's from a plastic CD case that he got hold of and chewed. This is not a puppy. This dog is fucking ten years old.
I am at the point now where I want to send him back to the rescue, and I have never done that before in my life. He's fucking destroying my house and there's nothing we can do about it. I thought about some sort of doggy day care but I can't find any in our area. We could board him at the vet but that's going to get expensive. I just don't know what else to do.
