what can i DO?
 

Husband loves this big guy and it's his favorite but says he has to go. I understand where he is comming from. Tike is ok with older dog but bullys him some what. but I can not put the baby down he goes into him really bad. Ed says he to ruff and will hurt him and does not want to see that hapens. He says this new pup is not ever going to get that big. When ever Tikes even walks by the pup he curls up in a ball even in my lap. I have just done all I can to keep them apart. I told him let wait this out he says no. Ed says this guy bounces off the wall and he cant enjoy his evening at nite now. What can I do? HELP

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it'll be difficult but I suggest a dog rescue for small dogs, or posting a flyer or putting an ad in the newspaper. If you do decide to go with the flyer or ad idea make sure you don't give him up for free. There was an post on here not too long ago about people who look for free dogs and cats and use them for food. I wish you the best.

Sorry to hear this. I will be hoping and praying for you the best.

I'm not sure I understand your post but is your husband having trouble with your yorkie bouncing off of the walls? MAybe try a long walk twice a day and if you can only get one in do it in the evening. Good luck.

I have given you so much advise and I dont know what else you can do! I told you just the other day that maybe you think that the "big" guy is hurting the little one but really they are only playing! My girls are constantly fighting over toys, and such everyday! I used to be really protective of Daisy when I first brought her home bc I was so afraid that Chloe was going to hurt her! But it never happened! I guess if you have it made up in your mind that you are getting rid of the big guy then you will! Also your hubby says that you have to get rid of him bc he is bouncing off of the walls, IMO, you are going to have a hard time finding a yorkie that does not "bounce off of the walls" so to speak!

you said your husband loves the big guy and is his favorite!!!

dont get it.. just dont get it.

pup
 

Spray the puppy down with Bitter Apple for a few days and see if it keeps Tike away. Good Luck

Also I forgot this in my other post, when you are holding the little guy 24 hours a day maybe the bigger one is getting jealous! You have only had your newest little one for 1 week so they havent had time to adjust to each other! If you would just put the little guy down and keep an eye on him, they should start getting used to each other soon!

Mac and Mellie play fight all the time. Once in a while there will be an actual fight over a toy. People who come to my house and can not tell the difference think they are going to kill each other. The difference is they start with the play stance. front down, hind up. do the little bouncy thing then it's a free for all. They will growl, air bite and chase but they are acutally playing maybe this is really what's going on in your case he just wants them to play.

I don't understand this either..why would you get rid of the older dog and keep the new one? I'm not criticizing just asking. I would re-think having a yorkie period if I were you because they can be very hyper if not given plenty of exercise and play time. I am lucky that my girls are calm but then again i live on 6 acres and have 4 children to wear the pants off of them. The big guy has been with you longer hasn't he? I think his feelings should come first in this issue because he has established himself in your home..the new puppy hasn't even had a chance to totally bond with you yet. If for some reason I had a new pup that no matter what just didn't fit in I would consider rehoming the new one before I would the one i had for a long time. And this is not said to hurt your feelings but for me I couldn't see get rid of any of my yorkies. There are too many behaviorist and trainers out there for that to happen. It takes time for a dog to get used to a new puppy. As far as hubby goes..he was in there when it was time to get both dogs from what i'm gathering so maybe instead of telling you to just get RID of them maybe he just needs to HELP you get them used to the new situation..
So my advice would be you both either need to buckle down to make it work or find homes for both cause if you can't handle the first one ..you won't be able to handle the second one or any yorkie after that. Good luck

The baby has a hernia
 

I had to take him in this morning vet said maybe the big guy ruffed him to hard. I said but I WATCH THEM AND NOW THEY DONT PLAY. pUP YELPS WHEN i PICK HIM UP SOMETIMES. Vet said nothing to do right now just watch him. Is that true? I am thinking of getting another opion. am trying to just wait this out with hubby. he loves the big guy but doesnt get any rest at nite and it bothers him. He said he oicks on the 4 yr old and hurts the baby we will see. I dont understand why some have emailed me very angry should I just not say anything here.

I wish you would just re-home the dog already before he is harmed. Every dog deserves to be loved and I don't understand this situation at all.

No ones attacking you we just don't understand why you would get a new puppy when it's obvious you've already been having problems with the other one. Unless the problems started after you got the puppy. If thats the case then everything just got simple..your other dog is jealous.

IMO this had been going on since you found out the pup would be bigger than you thought.
IMO you are just trying to justify why you want to get rid of him.
I have already stated i think you should rehome him to someone who will love him regardless and i stand by that!

dogs live in a pack situation...it is to early to tell if they get along or not. But even if they don't they can learn to live together. dogs live in packs. I just got a new puppy and believe me my older yorkie is not exactly happy about it. Both want moms attention all the time and it can be exhausting. My older yorkie growled and snipped at the puppy for about two weeks before the settled down. But the puppy was in the learning stages...he was jumping all over the older dog and in his face twenty four seven. So my older dog was saying "hey get the heck out of my face" the puppy has to learn to leave the other dog alone sometimes. The play chase and my older dogs sounds like he is gonna kill him with all the barking and growling over a ball but he has not put a scratch on him yet. I think he is just very vocal. It sounds like your hubby does not have the patience to deal with a second dog. Maybe you all should just be a one dog household. I would give it more time for adjustment. It has been a month in my house and they are not best buds but the older dog is tolerating the little one.

Both are pups? I guess i'm all confused lol..

A little confused. I went through some of your older posts, so I think I understand??? The 'big guy' is your latest addition, right? And you've been having problems with his aggression for quite a while?

If he's the newest one, and if the other two are getting along and have made a home with you then maybe you would be correct in finding him a home where he could be top dog, and not have to compete with other doggies . . . We had a dog who was like that; actually we found her wandering around the park. Took her home, put fliers up, and tried to find her owners. To no avail; we were going to just let her stay (even took her to the vet and got her shots since we weren't sure if she'd been vaccinated) , but she was too aggressive with the other animals. She was very sweet with humans, but was not at all socialized with other dogs -- finally my husband found someone at work who didn't have any other animals and wanted a dog and could provide a good home for her.

Hope this helps

Big guy isnt newest little one is

She got the big pup last? Well good grief it's obvious I have no idea whats goin on..i better quit postin here lol..

If I recall right---she had the 4 yr old, bought another--found out he was gonna be a big boy, bought the new pup--(a smaller one)...and now trying to justify to her self about getting rid of the big pup.

When I am sure the big pup wants attention, when she has been holdin the new pup all week and not giving the big pup attention...

No, big pup was there first, then the baby pup. Big pup is too rough with the newest family member. Clear as mud, huh?

She has an "older yorkie" which was the first one, then the "Big" guy wich was the second one and then this new little one that she bought for the size.

I think this is absolutely revolting and that's why i haven't been posting on any of her threads.
No matter how you put it we all know why your getting rid of the "Big" guy and it's just plain wrong. I would actually like to know what the "Big" guy's real name is (if you've even cared to give him one).
I would take that poor baby in a second if I lived at all close to you.

I think that is exactly the problem. Big pup's jealous and who wouldn't be. I think the suggestions and advice have from the gamic....if you don't want Big pup, please find him a forever home. He deserves that much. He's a baby too and doesn't understand why he's no longer #1.

Ok now i understand. So basically she just doesn't want the one because he isn't what she wanted so now she is getting rid of him but trying to get sympathy in the process? Do i have it right or should i just remain minding my own business lol..

I'm lost so she has 2 or 3 dogs?

It's nice to know i'm not the only one getting lost here lol

You've got it....not the MYOB part ;)

3....old yorkie, big pup, baby pup.

PS Old yorkie's wondering why they needed any pups? ;)
