All 3 of them are in big trouble!!!

[jmdt]

They make me crazy. Last night i picked up a piece of poop in the backyard that they all kept going over to. I put it in a plastic baggie and put it on the table in the backyard. Well I forgot to bring it in and it must have blown off the table. I just went out there to let them in and the were EATING it!!! The paper towel is shredded and the poop is gone. I want to kill them. I hope it was one of their poops at least and not some other animals. They are all in trouble. They ran in so fast. They know I'm mad now. Trixie just cost me almost $3000 a few weeks ago. because we "think" she had pancreatitis. I'm not too sure. Because of he high fever and not throwing up or diareah. She had an infection somewhere and was put on IV fluids and antibiotics for 3 days in the hospital. I think she ate something personally. I free feed so they are not hungry. I spend all kinds of money trying to buy the best food for them with no fillers and they eat this!!! I didn't do this much research on baby foods when my kids were little. arrrrrrr!!!!!

JUst a little rant!!

I keep waiting, hoping and praying that Gracie Ruth and Yogi will outgrow this "everything must go into the mouth" phase. Wood and paper still seem to be the most sought after items to chew/shred. I've even seen Yogi sneak a new Kleenex out of the box off of the end table to shred. Gosh darn his cute little hide! Saw him walking thru the house the other night with part of the Kleenex hanging out of his mouth. "YOGI! What have you got?! You bring that to Momma this instant!" For a split second you see the 'oh-oh Busted' look cross his face then he just tilted his head to one side (a move he knows I can't resist) turns his cute factor up to nuclear level and trots over to me all innocent and lovey-dovey. "Oh Hi Momma! Look what I made for you! Here, you can have it, it's for you! I wuv you soooo much Momma!!" It's hard to scold or stay mad when he does this.

Gracie Ruth is all, deny-deny-deny. She'll stand there with the Kleenex in her mouth and be all, "Kleenex?? What Kleenex? I don't have any Kleenex? Honest"

Zsa Zsa hasnt eaten poop... yet. But she puts everything in her mouth...wood, paper, hairbows, anything. The other day she found a sliver of wood and I it was stuck in her mouth and it was hard to get it out... I have no idea where she got it...wow she is just like a toddler...lol. On the other hand Pixie never does anything like that ever.... I hate to say it but she is the perfect pet. No problems ever with her...but Zsa Zsa is so feisty and fun=)

[PiePiper]

Piper use to put everything in her mouth. If it wasn't tied down she be eating it. She also was a poop eater. You would always have to watch her and after she pooped you would have to say Leave It!, and pick it up right away. She is now 14 months old and she doesn't eat the poop any more and she really doesn't pick up every little thing she comes across. She seems to just chew her bully sticks and her toys. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there!

[BaileyGates]

Haha Bailey used to love his poop better then the food i was making him lol he would love to eat it and it used to drive me crazy haha! Thank GOD he has stopped doing it. i dont leave anything where Bailey can get to it just incase he would try eat it but i think he is pretty good. Mind i dont let him in my bedroom AT ALL as he starts to hump my toys lol eeeek!

Know your battle. We live in a condo community, and everyone's dogs are "under 40 lbs" which pretty much means either people have one or more really little dogs or they're blatantly breaking the condo assn rules by having an 80 lb dog. Regardless, Stella always finds "big dog" poops on our walks because some people don't clean up after their dog (). If I stop to talk to someone, if I'm on the phone during our walk, or if it's nighttime (I have to bring a flashlight now) I always have to watch her because she'll try to eat them. I don't know if she thinks the other little poops are hers because they're in her potty spot or what, but I still hate that she tries to eat them. I'll correct her and tell her to leave it, and she will, but she'll just find another one a few steps later. I think she may have even eaten her own icky at night sometimes when it's on her puppy pad, because I come out in the morning and it looks like she's either moved the icky from where it originally was or there's less than there should be (or both). All of that on our walks and she's not even interested in chasing the half dozen baby frogs hopping on the sidewalk in front of her. I don't get it.

LOL!!! This is a great example of a Yorkie! I believe Sophie is a bit more like your Gracie Ruth when it comes to me. She runs double trouble when she has something that she shouldn't. I too also say in my sweetest Momma voice "Whachya got?". But she knows. She knows! Now on the other hand, if she's bad for my DH and he scolds her. She'll come running to me and snuggle up cause she knows she was bad. Then when he sits down, she'll slowly walk over to him and give him a few kisses on his nose, hand, leg...whatever body part is no more than 8" off the floor. He melts on the spot!

Hi! I've not an answer for you but you may want to post this in the "breeders" section. They'll be happy to help you!

They are so naughty sometimes! Roxie has always been good, but Ryder chews paper- only when I am gone. Then my in-laws have issues with their two eating kitty poop DAILY! Geez...
