She pooped and pee'd immediately OUTSIDE!!!! (I forgot to tell you guys last night that another problem I had was that she had not pooped since we got her....soooo I was very happy to see poop especially outside) I really praised them both and gave treats to both...I slipped Buddy a couple of extra's!!! Shhhhh!!!
Next I fed Buddy his breakfast before I fed Lucy. Then I made Miss Lucy's breakfast ....I did not heat it and i mixed her dry food in with it.
Everybody seems very happy!!! Mommy feels so much better!!! I know I still have lots of work ahead of me but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR SOME GREAT ADVISE!!!!  My husband and I feel so much this morning!!! |
Rhonda, I just found this thread.. I feel somewhat responsible here ya know..LOL
anyway glad to hear today was a new day.. I got my first two yorkies, both a couple years old, neither trained.. and I had never had a dog.. so I did it like they were brand new puppies.. and that is where you need to start.. pp pads are ok.. hate them myself, never used them until I got maravilhosa and since she only had one parvo shot and we were going away for a month and a lot of driving I started with pp pads.. well she is now 9 months old.. and she uses them all the time.. now I have a job when we get back up north to try to train her properly..grrrrrrrrrrrr
Also do not take away anything from the top dog. let her on the chair with you if you have to.. get both settled in.. also let your hubby try taking her outside as much as he can.. soon she will be more dependant on him.. hence she will be like his dog.. that is what I always try to do.. does not always work but worth a try..
It will take her a good while at 9 months old to adjust.. I mean for both dogs.. but again it is doable..
If you get frustrated send me you phone number by pm and I will call you.. then you will have my phone number...
I will help you as much as I can... training her, do so like a brand new baby and make sure you have your alone time with your top dog.. way into him becoming adjusted.. gee down the road your going to say... gee it was not too bad after all...I agree with the others, so just wanted to show support,,not repeat the same ole...
puppy hugs to you...
