Scooter 1270092     Barked: Tue Mar 26, '13 4:21pm PST  I actually walk him around the yard, he sniffs and then sits, then we move to another spot. He plays non stop with the other puppy which normally causes him to go right away. As of yesterday he peed as soon as he went outside. Today he won't even do that. I'm wondering if it's a battle of wills. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Tue Mar 26, '13 3:21pm PST  My 9 month old Caviler King Charles Spaniel, Scooter, is still not potty trained at 9 months old. He knows that "Go potty" means to go outside and go. Lately he has been peeing outside and pooping, but as soon as he comes in the house he poops on the floor. Today he has refused to eliminate outside at all. I took him out for twenty mins each time. He sits in the grass and refuses to go. As soon as we come in the house he goes on the floor. His behavior seems to have become worse in the past month, since my mom got an American Eskimo puppy. I don't think he is jealous of her. They seem to be best friends. The American Eskimo is hardly having accidents anymore, but Scooter is having more. My parents are at their wits end with my boy, and I hate to admit Im frustrated with him. I don't know how to correct this behavior. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > Having two puppies at the same time

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Sat Mar 23, '13 8:25am PST  I have a 9 month old Caviler King Charles puppy. My mom has a 4 month old American Eskimo puppy. Individually they behave wonderfully, besides typical puppy behavior. I live with my parents so both pups live in the same house. They seem to be inseparable at times. My other two dogs are 6 and 10 years old, and are typically annoyed when either puppy tries to play with them. When the see each other they run right up to each other. Then it's at least two hours of rough and tumble play. They get into everything imaginable. They have toys in every corner of the house, but they prefer the things they are not supposed to chew. We have puppy proofed, but They always seem to find something to get into. They follow each other like they are stuck together. After hours of play we normally put them in them in the same crate to rest. They curl up together and rest for about an hour or two. They are crated seperatly when nobody is home, their crates are right next to each other. Then they are back at playing. My family has never had two puppies at the same time before, nor two dogs that seem so attached to each other. Growing up all of our dogs were at least four years apart. The Eskie loves pulling on my Caviler's ears and tail. He tries to return the favor but ends up with a mouthful of fur. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > The ER vet said my dog had a soft tissue injury in her paw

Trixie If I find it,- its mine     Barked: Sun Mar 3, '13 3:45am PST  I feel like a horrible pet owner. My six year old poodle was running under my feet and I didn't see her. I was walking and heard her yelp. I stepped on her paw. At first she seemed fine, just mad at me. She is normally bouncing off the walls hyper, but after stepping on her she began favoring her paw, shaking, and hiding in her crate. She would not go up and down the stairs. I took her to the ER vet who diagnosed a soft tissue injury. Trixie was still occasionally putting a little weight on it. She is on Tramadol. Now that she is back home, she still isn't acting like herself. She hides in her crate given the chance, and is curling up next to me to sleep. She is never clingy, but now is. She can't jump on my bed like she normally does so I pick her up. She just seems spacey. I'm worried it's worse than a soft tissue injury. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Small Dogs > Coat question about a Caviler King Charles Spaniel

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Fri Mar 1, '13 12:08pm PST  I did alot of research before bringing my Caviler home, but never thought to look up how long it takes for the coat to grow out. My pup is eight months old, and looks quite funny. He is lanky as be begins to fill out, with various sections of fur longer than others. I was wondering how long it normally takes for a cavilers coat to grow out? I looked it up online and read anywhere from 1.5 to 3 years. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Tue Feb 26, '13 4:14am PST  Thanks! I've never had two dog's so close in age before, so thought the behavior was normal for two puppies. I have a 5 year old poodle that puts Snowy in her place constantly. She won't let her get away with anything. If the pups get to rough playing my poodle growls and breaks them up. She will not let Snowy take anything from her, nor jump all over her if she does not want to play. Snowy gets pinned if she is to rough with my poodle. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > My mom's American Eskimo pup is dominate over my Caviler pup?

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Mon Feb 25, '13 11:20pm PST  Around September of last year I brought home my Caviler puppy, Scooter. He is now eight months old. With the loss of her dog a few weeks ago, my mom brought home an American Eskimo puppy, Snowy. The pups hit it off pretty well and love sleeping together. I'm not sure if it's really a problem, but Snowy dominates Scooter. Scooter is so layed back I don't think he has it in him to be aggressive or be dominate. Snowy steals bones and treats right out of his mouth, and he just stares at her. During play she growls and pulls on his ears/tail and face. He has cried out like she hurt him a couple of times. He doesn't seem phased by it at all. Scooter really has nothing to grab on her but her coat. I feel bad for Scooter. Still a baby and already a girl has him wrapped around her paw. Scooter is just a lovebug, and wants everyone to love him. I've never had a dog before that doesn't seem to get jealous or even care . my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Switching dogs off of Bentiful, suggested brands? Question about Beggin Strips.

Trixie If I find it,- its mine     Barked: Mon Feb 25, '13 11:08pm PST  My family's four dogs currently eat Bentiful. I was wondering what a healthier, but affordable, alternative was? We have a 10 year old yorkie, five year old poodle, eight month old CAviler and 3 month old American Eskimo puppy (she eats puppy food, but does ocassionally steal a bit of adult food). I was also wondering if Beggin strips are okay for dogs? I've read of recalls of other treats by the same company, but have not heard anything in regards to these treats. My family's dogs get about 1/2 a beggin strip a day when they are crated. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > My puppy has a puppy tooth that didn't fall out, but the adult tooth has come in

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Mon Feb 4, '13 12:31pm PST  Thanks everyone! I called my vet and they told me to wait a couple of weeks. My pup , Scooter, has already been neutered. He lost his boy parts a few weeks ago. I didn't notice the tooth then. I my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Scooter 1270092     Barked: Sat Feb 2, '13 4:00pm PST  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/sakuraa14/E15298BE-8C5B-4F09- A1AC-5AFE186D4875-466-0000003098AE14C8_zps06b8d494.jpg Above is a picture of my seven month old puppy's tooth. It appears to me his adult tooth has come in right next to his puppy tooth. There is almost no room between the teeth. I will be contacting my vet Monday, but was curious if this is something that can clear up by itself. Would surgery to remove the tooth be the only option? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
