dog rant

[jeanius80]

i don't know what to do anymore. we have had our 3 dogs for 4 years (they are litter mates, 2 boy, 1 girl). They are all very well crate trained. they go in at night, and come out in the morning. they have free access to outside. we give them nutra kibble (no corn ). we also have thier mom (she's...8?) and thier 'nephew' who is 1. so, 5 dogs alltogeher. 2 of the males are 'intact' (the puppy and one of our other males). the problem? they 'mark' on my dd toys.
we try to keep them picked up. but she's 16 months, so inevitably they are left on the floor alot. they also mark around the couch 'feet' occasionaly. how do we deal with this? i clean it up with antibacterial cleaner or a urine be gone type spray.
i rarely catch them doing it. when i do, he always sulks and hides, so he knows he's not supposed to do it (the 4 yr old male).
also, our new nieghbor has what looks like an austrailian collie. and guess what? my tiny dogs (all 9 lbs of them) think the rule the world. so when ever new dogie is out and they see him, they run over to that side and bark insessantly until we force them in the house. and the nieghbors never come and get thier dog. i have watched him sit and wait for my dogs to show back up. grrrr
i wish i could find them a new home cause i don't know how much more piss i can clean and yappy high pitched barking i can take. (btw- not all of the dogs are mine)
