#especially the way katie watches her like a hawk whenever they go out

just to be clear, i am not bullying katie's dog, but sometimes i am worried she will think i AM buklying her dog just because i'm more strict with her than she is. like today mimi peed in a place she is not supposed to pee and then she walked through it and tracked pee all over the floor. so i was like okay. you are not coming up into My Bed (the couch) to sit with me today or until you take a bath. and katie was like ohhhh i'll wipe her feet and i'm like YUCK!!! like she already smells like dog and sort of needs a bath anyway i'm not going to let her peepee feet on the furniture. and when mimi eats something she should not my response is to show mimi the thing she chewed up and ate, which she knows is wrong bc she gets all quiet and tries to turn away, and i use my stern voice to say "no. bad mimi. no." and then i put her in her little baby box (a bunch of dividers used to make a dog space that mimi doesnt like to be trapped in while people are home) until i'm done cleaning up her mess and/or until she is done crying about being put in the box. whereas katie just tells her no and then lets her continue to snuffle around the house for more shit to rip up. i also put mimi in the baby box if i take a shower or go outside even if its just for a little while because i've come back several times to shit ripped up/garbage gotten into !!! like she's not a dog that can be trusted. idk. maybe i AM being too mean but dogs need training and discipline and as much as katie stresses the importance of those things i do not think she has actually done like anything? to train mimi beyond getting her to go peepee on the peepee mat and teaching her to sit.
