Dog, cat, both or neither?

I had one male cat who decided to start marking after a move and a new baby. It was horrible, I agree. But he is the only cat I’ve had who ever did that. My current cat is female and has never done anything to complain about.

I also have a poodle mix dog. He is generally sweet and has a good personality. Unfortunately, he barks and barks and barks and barks. His bark is shrill, like a scream which raises the hair on your neck and makes your heart pound, when he is alarmed by the doorbell, by another dog passing by, by a mom walking her baby in a stroller, by a squirrel, by a blowing leaf…He is 10 times the annoyance of any cat I’ve ever head, or any dog either. We’ve tried all the usual remedies, with no relief.

Sometimes you just get unlucky when you pick a pet. This dog will probably live another 7-9 years. I’ll probably be on Xanax by then.
