the first time i gave in to giving milu people food is when we are having dinner. she cried, i ignored her. and then she started performing all the tricks she knows. (sit, down, spin, play dead, ...etc.) i still ignored her.

and then she went to her pee pad, and squeezed really hard and peed.

then i caved.

i just thought if she wants it THAT bad, then i guess i should give her a little bit...

probably a bad move on my part. but i am weak!

That is hilarious that she knows just how to make mom happy! I was laughing out loud at your story.

Yes, we've been able to stick with it but after having to deal with so many issues of Daxton's because of his weight, it really made an impact on me. Another problem of his was his teeth and I think that was caused by his only eating canned food. That's what my grandpa fed him and he wouldn't eat anything else after we moved. When he passed away at 15 years old, he only had maybe 5 or 6 teeth left. He was fairly healthy though and definitely happy up until the end. He just taught me a lot of things that I should have done differently.

That's always one of the saddest things for me: thinking of everything I wish I had or hadn't done.

milu doesn't have a weight problem. well, maybe she does, she is too skinny i think.
i know it's bad to feed people food. but i feed very little.
and we also brush her teeth.
so hopefully it's not too unhealthy for her.

I always said, NEVER on the furniture.....well.......said

[JoshieBoy]

When I have my dog, I would never let him potty on washable pads, talk to him by using baby talk, and give him people food. Well, I broke all these rules.

Oh my goshhhh, I am the same way. I never would have thought about buying him clothes, then I went crazy when I got him and I treat him like he is a little doll hahaha

I don't know how I ever did it...Before I got Chester, I used to dogsit for my best friend when she went out of town. I used salad tongs to give her dog treats. I thought they were disgusting and didn't want to touch them. I also had to wash my hands anytime I touched or pet the dogs. Man, what was I thinking? Clearly I had to get over that petty stuff with Chester.

DF said under no circumstances would Chester sleep in our bed. I wanted him to, but I was willing to abide with his rule. Our first night though, who does he bring to bed, but Chester! Silly boy.

[yorkie mad]

stop going abroad-oops lol

I would NEVER fall head over heals , completely in love, smitten by a DOG! YEAH right.
Along comes my first little puppy ever, a yorkie. She took over my HEART instantly .
I'd never spoil a dog either, or let her lick my face whenever she wants, and jump all over me! (cough, cough) Suzi again got me on this one!

I'd never always buy Stinky bones made out of a ***** each week for a little dog! AGAIN , she WINS, just because i love her so much and enjoy watching Suzi with her coveted bully stick !

I'd never thought I'd feel separation anxiety , leaving my Yorkie by herself while going somewhere. Who knew that I would be the one to feel badly? as she watches us throgh the window getting into the car. It hurts my feelings.

I'd never thought I would share my favorite Hagen Daz Ice cream with my yorkie, let her lick the bar, and then lick it after her> ANd think it's PRECIOUS
