I've been lucky with Ruby - she's my first dog and I've done many things wrong and haven't ruined her (yet)...
However, I just went majorly aggro on her (for an accident) and I'm wondering if I need to try to make up somehow since I was so irrational. I have never let her lick the dishes in the dishwasher but then I saw come cute pix of somebody's doxie standing in the dishwasher cleanin' up and I stopped stopping Ruby from trying to lick plates. Well, tonite, she apparently got her collar stuck (in our 1 year old dishwasher) and it made a noise and she freaked - pulled the effing bottom rack out by her collar and broke a very special plate (Harry, my husband, also broke one a year ago (now I only have 4, waah) )and I didn't speak to him for the rest of that nite). I admit I've had 3 glasses of wine (plus dinner) and I defo overreacted but I am so goddam pissed to have a wuss for a dog AND that she exploited the MISTAKE I MADE in going against my instinct and letting her lick the effing dishwasher.
So I understand I screwed up and I couldn't stop myself from screaming at her (I didn't touch her but she's so soft I might as well have). So I feel weak and embarrassed in admitting that I lost my cool but want to know, please, how or if I should try to make this right with my baby girl who is prolly feeling pretty confused right now...
