She has even removed a snap from my robe while sitting in my lap. In any event, she puts small objects in her mouth and I always try to retrieve them before she swallows them. I have to crate her more than I would like (at this point it should only be used for sleeping and while we are away) but I am fearful that she will (or already has) swallowed something and being such a small dog, is going to have a medical emergency. Any suggestions folks? Thanking you in advance. Nancy W |
Hi Nancy, Welcome to YT!!
While our babies can be the sweetest most loving kids one minute, the next they can be "terrors" as you said, they are just like human kids in that they put everything in their mouths, including our hands. It's alot of work sometimes, but they need constant supervision and if you get busy the safe place for your puppy is a crate or an x-pen. That way you can get things done around the house and he can nap and FEEL safe!! There are plenty of YT members on here that are very giving of their time and knowledge!! I'm still learning too and have had wonderful people on here extend such a welcome to me, I know you'll find that too!! You probably already have them, but make sure you have chew toys for Abbey and replace the object with the chew and after awhile with maturity they'll choose the chew. Good luck You'll Love it here!!
