| My baby is terrorizing her Senior brother - any advice? My poor senior toy poodle (17) is being terrorized by little Tinkerbelle who is almost 11 weeks. He loves all babies, skin and fur, and won't refuse her anything. Once in a while, he gives her a little nip to say "enough already!" But this weekend, she will not leave him alone. Chewing on his long ears, licking him , jumpin on him and stealing his chomps. Poor little guy can hardly walk and she is pulling on his ears and dragging him all over the room. He just looks at me and whines. I keep telling her no and removing her just to have her take off again chasing him down. She can climb up to the couch now, so he's not even safe there. If I put her in her pen, she screams her head off so loud, the neighbor calls down to see if we're OK! I'm worried about my poodle boy. He's so good with her and it's nice that he has someone to play with - even a little. But my gosh! She's just plain full of vinegar. I tell her it's a good thing she's so cute or she'd be in big trouble. Anyone have any tips? |

| Well glad to see I'm not the only one! At first, my Cocker, Jaxon HATED Nico. I could see it in his eyes...he just wanted at that little furball. I gradually introduced them...and now Jaxon will tolerate him. Nico LOVES Jaxon. He nips at his ears...yes, he licks him too and when we are out playing fetch with Jaxon, Nico tries to run behind him and you can tell where Jaxon is trying his best not to run him over but he does get enough of it sometimes. One time, Jaxon dropped the ball at my feet for me to throw again and Nico went after it and Jaxon put his paw on it as if to say...get back, Jack!! lol...but I guess really no advice but just wanted to let you know that you are NOT alone...

| Thanks for the sympathy and understanding anyway - it does help to know she's not the only naughty baby out there. |

| Ya know what?!? She may be getting herself in trouble always chewing her brother's ears ' cause this morning she hacked up a HUGE hair ball. It's all white hair from Indy. She didn't have any trouble coughing it up, but where does that stuff go? It seemed too clean to be from her tummy. And I found one the other day too but didn't realize what it was because it was already dry. I thought it was something weird from the vaccuum cleaner Now I don't know what to think. Could that be why her poops are so ewey gooey? I think she goes to the vet next week for her check-up. Little skunk baby! |

| I just put her in her crate for the night. She is usually out til I go to bed, but Indy is exhausted from her, so I'm giving him a break. She doesn't seem too upset about it as long as we stay out of sight. Oops, spoke too soon, there she goes crying. Nope - just a little squeeling. She's fine. I hate to leave her all alone like that, but I've had Indy for 17 yrs. and he's so tolerant of her. It isn't fair to him to get beat up by a baby! |

| My little Yorkie pup did the same exact thing to my six-year-old Bichon (which was almost fair - because when my Bichon was a pup, he did the same thing to another dog I had -- what goes around comes around - right!) But, nevertheless, I really did feel sorry for my Bichon. He would come into my office where I work --- dragging this little Yorkie pup who was holding onto one of his ears. (He wanted me to get it off of him.) The puppy wouldn't leave him along for a second. And - my Bichon is such a sweet, (almost shy), gentle dog - that he never did anything to the pup. He just drug him around and was constantly moving, trying to get away from the pup (which was near impossible.) SO - I let my Bichon outside without the pup several times a day to give him a break. --- and I often put the Bichon on my bed and closed the door to the bedroom, so he just lie around and nap and have some peace and quiet for a while. Today - the Bichon is 6 and the Yorkie is 14 months. They are fast friends and have been almost forever. They play a lot together - nap around the house a lot - and the Yorkie doesn't pester the Bichon nearly as much. I think being a puppy and going through the teething stage is the worst time. -- So, just protect your older dog and find times and places for him to rest and get away from the puppy as much as possible. Other than this, time will solve your problems -- at least most of them. Good luck! Carol Jean |

| They are apart for most of the day when I'm at work. Indy has the run of the house - which means he parks on my bed, and Tinkerbelle is in her crate because she's full of vinegar and refuses to potty/poo train. that's another story.... So he does get some time away from her. I think it's just really hard on him because he's so ancient. Poor little gentleman! A while ago, she was so hard on him he chomped her (gently) on the head and she yipped. So I put her in her crate and brought Indy into my bedroom to check my emails and get some clothes folded and put away. Maybe she'll calm down a little in a while. She's screaming her head off! I feel so bad - I want to lay down and cry. But I won't. I know it has to get better. |
