Send in a wave of Lobsters, then let that Coconut crab mop up the remains. Horseshoe crab can scout ahead.

My two knuckleheads

Just whatever you do....resist any urges if you drive near cliffs

**Billinator**

@Jihadin
The first one is, well, uhm... Yeah... Well... Don't you feed it? It's so skinny! :/

BUT the second one is totally "aaaaaaw!"! Look at those lil' pointy ears!
- Can i pat it? Can i, can i, can i? :3

**Necroshea**

Love finding reasons to use photoshop. Also OP sorry for derailing your thread with crabs.

**Jihadin**

@Bill

First one is Izzy. She's a Italian Greyhound, second one is a Shiba Inu name Yuki. Both pure breed.

pppfffttt derailing huh....I say...you almost hijacked the thread lol

I suggest arranging for the car to accidentally reverse over the dog in the drive way after which you there can be much comforting and make up sex - and no dog.

**Azza007**

There is a collar you can buy that you put on the dog and every time they bark it sprays them with a mist to teach when not to. It works well, my mates dog used to bark all the time until they got this spray thing.

Also makes for excellent pranks if your bark is good enough, just make sure you hold it the right way towards the person you are trying to prank.

I've always wondered about the effectiveness of those, I know just the creature to affix one to.

I know a woman, (not naming names) who has a maltese/poodle Mix dog that's about 2 years old, and it causes me to rage so bad. Every morning they have the same routine, which sometimes I become a part of, so I'll share this experience with you.

Everymorning during the week this is what the morning ride consists of.

-get in small blue car
people in car include: myself, my girlfriend,her two sisters, and her mom. along with the dog.
-drive to pick up 2nd dog to take to the veterinary hospital in which my gf and her mom works, also where the eldest sister gets off to do God knows what.
-drop younger sister off at highschool.
- arrive at my Gf's work. thats it.

Normally this would be no problem, but that dog they have.... it burns me up inside. Every stop we approach the dog starts going Apesh*t, barking, crying and the highest possible volume, its so horrible, I feel like throwing that Dog out the window, or Vulkan neck pinch it lol.

Now with other families and dogs, I assume, it would be easy to just yell at the dog or something and train it to shut the hell up and settle down, but not with this family. For reals the mom treats the dog with more respect than her own children, one false remark or action about her dog and its like you murdered the dog right in front of her. So as you can imagine the frustration I feel when I can't do much about it, and the dog is just allowed to yap constantly.

well thanks for giving me a chance to vent it really has been bothering me despite my efforts to ignore it.

How would you Handle this situation?
Is there ways to disable/subdue the dog and its anxiety outside of killing or destroying this dog? lol

And have you guys experienced and or experiencing something like this? I'd like to hear what you guys think and how you deal with it.

Thanks again everybody

I guess you just don't understand. You're less important than her dog. Don't be mad. Its the natural order of things. At least her Dad isn't walking around with a shovel and a shotgun...not like some Dads...

Dachshunds beg to differ.

While Team Wienie is naturally superior, TBone has told me to note that wiener dogs get along with all their canine breathren, although they will be befuddled when they ruhn across a dog smaller than them. I've seen it.

They work, just got to hope the dog doesn't get too used to it and start to like it.

**Necroshea**

Hmmmm will have to replace the water with mace then.

**Azza007**

I think they had some sort of citrus spray.

Moartiki wrote:one false remark or action about her dog and its like you murdered the dog right in front of her.

If she yells at you "like you murdered the dog right in front of her" every time you yell at the beast, then why subject yourself to repeated agitation? Just murder it once (preferably right in front of her) and she will stop yelling at you.

Option #2: get a better girlfriend. Preferably one without a dog and with bigger boobs.

**Melissia**

As much as I hate dogs (and I do), I still have to cringe at the suggestions of animal cruelty (intentionally running them over? geeze!) in this thread.

Hey, it was a joke. It would be much easier to put it in a sack and throw it in a canal.

**Ma55ter_fett**

Apparently my pet control advice was judged to be in poor taste even though others suggested similar gruesome ends for the pooch.

In any event I apologize to those who may have been offended.

A more serious piece of advice would be that the OP should either; suck it up until he gets his own wheels, find someone else to carpool with, eat loads of beans, garlic, onions, and asparagus and make the inside of that car a war crime.

Or maybe make friends with the dog, take it for walks, give him little treats when he is good.

This has the added bonus of smoozeing up to the (maybe) mother-in-law, which would most likely make your life better.

Seeing as you lady friend works at a veterinary hospital the chances of your coming into frequent contact with the more audible members of the canine species are very good. Resign yourself to this or move on.

**Melissia**

I was complaining about animal abuse in general, not your post in specific lol....

Me?

I was apologiseing to the board in general since my second post was aparently so bad (in the eyes of someone) that no trace of it remains.

So you're the 'sleepover boyfriend', you show up at mom's house, lurch about, presumably eat their food and then stick your devil in her daughter each night (if you can muster the effort...) and then this woman actually drives you around and you have the blind fething audacity to complain about her animal making too much noise as you're being chauffeur-driven about the town?!?

You shiftless loafer.

Perhaps find something worthy of whining about in your life. You do seem to have a natural talent for it.

**VI th legion**

You think you have it bad, my parents adopted a chihuahua about a year ago. The stupid little thing yaps non-stop when we bring it inside, pees on everything, and follows my large and agressive female dog around drinking her pee and trying to mate with her. I only put up with him because he came with a very sweet basset hound.

**Gitkikka**

Dogs *puke*

Hate the slobbering things.

Not to mention he doesn't say what happens after he and his girlfriend get dropped off at her work. He must be that guy that hangs around the strip club shooting pool while his woman struts...

**DIDM**

if it is this bad already just get out of the relationship

anyone who treats their dog better than their own kids has mental problems to begin with. She also has a poodle mix, which also points to mental problems.

I don't really see the evidence for this from the OP though.
