My poor dog..

[Magentadaisy]

I only smoked outside. I'd always take my pup out, as an excuse to have a smoke. At least every hour. Twice this week, she has had an accident in the house. I'm a terrible pet parent, because since I vape IN the house, I keep forgetting about her!! Yea for not smoking - nay, for my poor pup that needs to pee, lol. I promise puppy, I will be more aware (and also, hubby is now stuck on walk duty, since I don't "have" to go outside )

 

[Shinzo]

Have some vapes outside when it's nice

 

[Katya]

Poor puppy...

On the other hand, now, that you can breathe again, you can take her on long walks--without getting winded.

Congratulations and welcome to ECF!

 

[Magentadaisy]

I will indeed! I bring it with me when I take her out, it's just that I'm not craving it, lol.

 

[Magentadaisy]

Yes! Can't wait to take her for runs!

Poor doggie . . . She deserves a day at the park, tomorrow. Come on, Dad.

Mom.

 

[Magentadaisy]

Lol, yes "dad" never took her out, since I was always too willing too

 

[jfalbanese]

they like long walks.so does the heart of a recovering smoker.

Ha ha. Hi, my name is Cynthia and I'm a smoker....r e c o v e r i n g!

 

[MF DOOM]

Nice intro thread.

Poor you, you mean. It used the bathroom already

 

[eratikmind]

Oops! My mistake, Mom.

Yes it is good to vape inside but as another dog lover, there are still some outdoor activities that need attending to!!

 

[Haktuspit]

Luckily mine knows how to tell me she needs to go out. If she has to pee it's a yawn with some sort of squeeking sound. If it's #2 it's more like a low toned droned out growl.

She is however enjoying all of the walks. I didn't take her so much when I was smoking.

 

[Magentadaisy]

The moment when she peed inside was such a catch 22. Oh damn, the dog peed on the floor, to -omg, it's been six hours since I thought about smoking!! Now that it has dawned on me, I promise, puppy has been taken care of. my old dog was so Pavlov that if I reached in my purse, she would run to the door, lol!

 

[hempnotized42]

LOL! I had my pup for all of 6 weeks before I switched to vaping, I made the same mistake for the first few days, then when I was able to drive it in to go outside hourly anyway, she was still confused.... she had been so used to the cig going out as her cue for time to go inside lol, I would tell her "lets go" and she'd just look at me like....."uhhhh.... but thats not how we do this" LOL didnt take long to find some normalcy though, now we're both happy I quit cuz it means more play time and less "stand around and watch mommy smoke" time

I had the same problem when I started vaping in January. It was very cold outside. Now it's gardening time once again. I once again have 2 reminders that I need to get outside and take my Stumpy SharCat with me. When it's literally freezing outside, it is great to be vaping inside, but the outdoor experience is severely neglected. If you have no other excuse to go outside than 'walking the dog', get a plant or two. Or 50... my herb garden is already looking scrumptious. The flowers are blooming, too.

Go outside and smell the flowers! You dog will smell and pee on everything else.

 

[Niko49]

Hah, I must be the only one who doesn't vape indoors. I always found it more satisfying to actually step outside to vape, it helped mimic the feeling I got from "stepping out for a smoke".

 

[Trick]

I sympathize, Magenta... I had the same problem when I started vaping. Threw my whole rhythm off, and the poor dogs had to keep reminding me they were at their limits.

This is why the SPCA is trying to Ban e-Cigarettes.
