Hello! I am so glad to be a part of the chat site on such sweet little babies! I am however, having ALOT of trouble with my little Molly. She is a year old now, the cutest little baby ever, but she has been a little fire-ball since I got her at 7 weeks. She must have been too young to be taken from her mama, but I fell in love immediately and didn't want to "look" for a different puppy. She was an only child, her mother and father were so pretty. This lady had both of them and was going to keep her if she wasn't sold. My husband agreed and got her for me for Valentines Day 2005. She was a pistol from the very start. She didn't eat furniture, she ate ME! She was the biggest biter!!! She would bite me HARD (drawing blood sometimes) and she would growl and show me her teethShe was being kennel trained from the very start (before I got her) so I kept it up. She cried the first night home, but then she was fine. So after a few months, I took her to a vet in Tulsa that specialized in dog behavior. She said that Molly was not possessive with her doys and food and that it was just part of a phase (alpha dog) and that she would be fine. She IS sweet, but only sometimes. She isn't a yorkie with the "lap dog" mentality. She wants independence but LOVE play time. Well, a few more months went by, I was working full time and I thought that she needed a friend. I started researching and found a "yorkie-mix" at the local animal shelter. She was NOT a yorkie-mix, but a long haired wennie dog. She is the same age as Molly and the same size (10 lbs), she is beautiful, sweet and mello. She is really a lovely little dog. SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH OF MY YORKIE! Molly attacks her all day every day. They play, but it is hard-play. Everytime either my husband or I touch, pet, play, carry or even pay attention to Lucy, Molly goes crazy. She starts attacking everything!!! Last week, I was carring Lucy and Molly jumped up and bit me on the arm (drawing blood) and this weekend she layed into my leg while I was bathing Lucy and I have every little tooth of hers imprinted on my calf. I was bleeding and molly was snarling!
Now I love Molly, she is my baby. I dont know why because the dog doesn't really like me. She loves my husband, but she growls at him too and he cannot stand it. Friends think that we need to get her a muzzle.
We have tried to put the other dog up and just pay attention to Molly, but she will just wait at the door or wait to "attack" Lucy where ever she is waiting.
I really need help! Can you give me some advice???
