| I Do notknow what to do. HELP!( May be long, Sorry) S as i have bragged about on this site, I have a fairly new Morkie named Bowie, He willbe 5 months on November 1st. I also have a 3 year old Yorkiepoo. My yorkiepooo Ava does not live with me, her "daddy" and I share custody, which is getting harder all the time, in fact he is recently getting married and i have a feeling that the new wife will try to butt in, Another thing is I work with him at his fathers shop and desperetly want to quit, I have a feeling that when i do it will cause some friction with our custody arrangement as he is young and immature. Wow i got Way off subject.Ok, My actually reason for this post is that, Ave and Bowie are really having a hard time together, Ava is older and isnt as active as bowie and he will constantly bark at her when she doesnt want to play, which is the majority of the time. Bowie is actually really good when Ava isnt with us. It breaks my heart that they dont play better and i feel lost as to what to do. Do i punish bowie when he is barking and attacting ava? If so, how, what do i do?? Another thing is , ava has a very odd and difficult scheduel. Her grandfather feeds her at AM!!! 3 Am!!! This is because he is up and going to work at this time and so avas dad just lets him feed her while he and the fiance sleep( Did i mention they are living with his parents and will continue doing so when married?) So avas scheduel is really hard on us and on bowie when she is with us. She gets up about 4 times a night and as of rightnow i feel like it such a distraction to bowies training. I am reall at a loss and dont know what to do. As you can tell im half asleep writing this because of how much ava is up at night. Can anyone give me some advice or feedback or anything. It would be so appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Saying this gently...that color is very difficult to read. Ramsey is almost three....she plays on her terms and sometimes is just not interested in Reggie's puppyness. Usually we allow her to handle the situation on her own. If Reggie persists in aggravating her...we distract him. It's pretty easy to do. You could try crating her at night to keep her from waking you up...however it's not just that she is used to being fed at that time...she is used to getting up that early... period. All of mine get up every day at 5:30...that's what time the weekdays start at my house...and what time THEY start on the weekends too.

| I don't mean this in a bad way but it sounds like you are hoping someone will tell you to just stop the custody arrangement. I have 4 dogs and my daughter's most of the time and they are fron 1 1/2 to 13 years old. They are never all on the same schedule and the youngest are a pain to the older ones many times but if you want them both you"ll just have to work things out. PS> My "baby" still gets up 3 times a night so if I need some rest one night I put her in an xpen in my family room with her pee pad so I can get some rest |

| I don't see how you can put her on another schedule if she returns to your x's house since you both share custody. The only solution I can see to this problem is keep your finger's crossed the new wife dosen't want her and she is returned to you. At which time you can then put her on another schedule to suit yourself. I hope it works out this way for you. |

| Wow this is a hard one, have you try talking to him, that maybe you can have her back more often, until they get along better, just tell him that your new puppy is in training and will need more company, so sorry I can be more help to you
