As to the area rug Target right around 200.00 but huge! Love it!

it is now getting worse. she is tearing things up when people are home but in another room. there are multiple dogs at the house including her sister. none of the other dogs seems to be par-taking in this behavior but just the one. Just today while my gf was doing laundry in the other room my dog went in and tore up the bed. Fluffing everywhere! We are looking at getting her fixed next weekend. but why would she be doing this. I was thinking separation anxiety but now I’m not sure. She has never been destructive while we were home. HELP!

1. Get her MORE exercise. A tired dog doesn’t do anything. She may have been getting the same amount she used to but it might not be enough anymore. My pit is just over a year old and she used to be fine with 2 15 minutes walks. Now she requires at least a 30 minute run and sometimes that isn;t even tiring her out. If she doesn’t get enough exercise, she not only destroys things but eats the destroyed peices – be glad you don’t have to pay the vet bills for that.

#2. It def. could also be seperation anixety so you can try some of the comfort calm from the pet stores or rescue remedy brand supplies which can help. Getting fixed should also help some.

#3. If there isn’t a food aggression issue in your house try giving her a bone like a bully stick – easy to digest and lasts for hours.

#4. Get a crate. My pit loves her crate – when we can’t find her she normally goes in there on her own to sleep — or if we ask her if she wants to take a shower It saves her from eating/destorying harmful things and it saves our stuff (and a trip to the vet to our stuff removed from her stomach). WHen you aren’t actively watching her keep her in the crate until this behavior stops.

Good luck.

What else can we do to move this townhome quickly? I’ve got a health condition that requires one level living, and a possible surgery coming up in the next few months. Moving soon would be a huge plus. Your suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!

Often houses sell based upon how the home is decorated (or not decorated). The buyer compares their tastes to yours, or prefers a blank slate. Allowing as much light into the property is essential, thus if your have window treatments, you might want to rethink them. Another easy prep is the use of brass to get add to the shine, but this also is dependent upon your decorating. Buying the brass light switch covers are cheap and adds a subtle sparkle. Then there are the old Realtor open house tricks of putting slice and bake cookies or Pillsbury breads in the oven and have them cooking at a low temp during the actual showing to get the buyer to connect the the scent with the idea of home of another time. Another subtlety is to put a phone list of food take out on the fridge (decorated nicely) to add to the convenience of location, or other things a likely buyer would be attracted towards (babysitters, neighbors). You might want to up the bonus to the selling agent. Both buyers and their agents can see through an offer to pay for closing costs, but to them they see it simply as a willingness to sell for $3000 less. You may want to offer it as a decorating allowance instead.

So, I said all of that to say this – he is in the NBA as commissioner, because of his busness sense and legal knowledge, not because of his ability to shoot a 3-pt shot; doubt if he can hit a free throw.
