| I am back from my weekend vacation. I left charlie with my in laws for 4 days. I miss him so much while I was away. He seems different now then when I left him. He got bigger and is a little on the aggressive side. He is scared and is always in the attack position. I don't know what is wrong with my baby. He broke his little nylon crate too while I was awhile. I also heard he poop in the house once and also created a big mess with clothes and newspaper while the in laws were out saturday morning. I am sure they punished him big time. They told me they yelled at him on sunday and he was in his broken crate all day. My poor baby. He still loves to follow me around the house so that is a good sign. Since I am back, he will only come to me and not anyone else in the house including my husband. |

| Well at least now you know...you don't let them take care of him again. Some people just do not have the patience for pets. Sad for them, but you can't let Charlie go through that again. Give him some time, work hard to show him that he is back with ya'll and very, very safe. That accidents will not call down the wrath of the gods on him. Lots of positive reinforcement, calm low voices, careful movements. As for his being standoffish to your DH. My guess would be that your FIL is the one who most yelled and "disciplined" him. So he's, understandably so, weary of men. Have your DH be his total care giver for several days and I bet you'll see him change back to loving his Daddy. All food, treats, play, walks, affection should come from DH. As hard as it will be on you, do your best to let DH be Charlie's world. We did this when I got married and DH moved in and it was just what the girls needed to see him in a positive light. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

| Yikes! So sorry for your little one I to am getting ready for a trip this weekend and have been so worried about leaving our little guy. Our oldest daughter is going to keep him and I have been driving her crazy for days with info on him. They have an adorable 2 year old chihauhau boy for him to play with I just hope it doesnt turn out to be a territorial battle. I know I will be doing alot of praying for him while I am away even though I know my daughter will be good to him. So sorry you had to deal with all this. |
