HI really appreciate the two of you taking the time out to offer suggestions. To answer some of which I tried..Have not taken her to a new vet since we moved to upstate ny..I for the life of me cannot understand why the vet office just won't bill you and allow your dog to be cared for..its criminal!!yu have no idea walking in how much to expect to get charged..So I have yet to address her behaviors with a professional dr yet..it did call her original breeder and she claimed it was a phase..when I will tell you she acts out towards all of us..except the 10month old she gets close enough to sniff her and even lets a few gentle pets then runs away. It is a pretty quiet house regardless of the baby..she is very behaved (baby). Lola has her place in three differnt rooms of the house one is a tent by her wee wee pads that she uses some of the time : / then pees 5 inches from twice or so a day and poops..my floor is pitched so ifs fun cleaning up the stream...I kinda fear for the sanitary reasons as my 10 mnth old is cruising and crawling on the floors and I cant have lola peeing and pooping everywhere or it being dragged by shoes through our house it sends gross shivers up my spine. the living room special place is opposite where we mostly sit as a family but kinda hidden as that is what she likes in between our furniture..her bed is next to our bed..we always want her to feel like she has her own place..and her place is close to us...but she tries to dominate ours. I ingore her messes now I did learn that correction wasnt working and tell her what a good girl she is when she does it right i make it a big deal...lately that hasnt happend in so long. she wont go pee unless other dogs have gone and done their business outside..like for instance my childhood dog that lives with my mom shiz tu poo and lola..on a leash..will go in my mothers back yard but not in mine..or on a walk but near where other dogs have done their business..We have tried being the "pack leader" but have wondered if she needs another dog to associate with??? would that ease her lonliness for the 3 yrs shes been seperated from all those yorkies she grew up with?? I don't know..We can't afford a trainer right now..but like I said we live up in the farmland capital of upstate ny..not a whole lot of trainers and dog specialist here..most of our vets are trained to take care of cows and horses and barn animals. I have come to terms that Lola isnt dog like..in most perspectives..I just wish she was giving the love back that we show her..its been 3 1/2 years now!!! it seems to be getting worse..she doesnt like toys or treats..weird I know..but thats why I found this forum..like i said she likes underwear and bras and socks and tissues and toilet paper...but we have sooo many toys she just refuses to play with. She does however go after toys that other dogs have slobbered on..I wonder if she has species confusion?? If we DO decide she no longer fits into our family...where do we go from there?? I can't just give her to any person that says they would take care of her and her "special" personality..it would give me gray hair because I know how difficult she can be and only a mommys love can make exceptions for that ya know? I just dont who I should turn to for a loving home for her...thanks again everyone
