What are you listening to right now?

[Captainzing]

Lot of hoopla for a 120 second race

[yorkiemini]

Yep, but today we Are cold and wet! Lots of mud

[Captainzing]

Better then lots of snow

[matese]

lol Cody is dreaming besides me and making little yelping sounds. So cute, I put my hand on him lightly to get him out of it. I wonder what they dream about lol.

[Captainzing]

Does he ever moan or maybe, it's a howl while he sleeps?

[matese]

you're up early lol
Yes he moans and howls, the howls are like a death howl and that scares me.
Many years ago when I had 2 girls my older one (13 yo) was very sick when I came home from work, I called my vet, they are 24/7 told them what was happening, they said get her in now, we were under a very heavy snow storm and my vet is a 35 minute drive, I scooped her up and headed to the door, my 5 yo yorkie let out this death howl, something she never did in her life. In a nut she my 13 yo never came home, 5 days at the vet her kidneys were failing, I had to put her down. My 5 yo knew her sister was dying, reason for the death howl, I have never forgotten that night,
Cody has done that death howl in his sleep 3 times while I am asleep, scares the crap out of me and I make him wake up.
Again, I wonder what makes them do that and can dogs have dreams?

[Captainzing]

I've been up since 4:30. Got heartburn from something I ate from BK ugh.


Strange to think of our furkids having bad dreams

[matese]

Sorry to hear that, do you keep Pepto-bismol on hand? I hardly eat BK or MD for that reason.

Yeah Cody has a lot of them, my girls never did.

[Captainzing]

I put some baking soda in water and it seems to have taken care of it....

Dexter wouldn't stay in bed after he knew I got up he started whimpering

[matese]

Gee I never hear of baking soda and water,I learn something new everyday lol.

Cody use to get out of bed when I wake up at 3:30 / 4:30am, he thought I was up it was time for him to eat.....NOT... he eats at 6:30am he has learned to stay in bed lol. Now that it's light at 5:45 he thinks it breakfast time so I have to listen to the whining even when I have told him 100 times "it's not time, you have to wait" I cave in to him at 6:10 lol.

[Captainzing]

What type of food do you feed him? I fill up a bowl of dry food and Dexter eats it whenever.


The baking soda does a good job

One of the ways to treat acid reflux is with antacids. Baking soda, AKA sodium bicarbonate, is a natural antacid. If you drink a teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 8 ounces of water, it can neutralize stomach acid and temporarily alleviate heartburn caused by acid reflux.

[matese]

I'll have to save your tip and put it on my fridge.

Cody is 12 pounds, he's on a food schedule as all my dogs were. Morning feed at 6:30, night at 4:30 it use to be 7am and 5pm, HE changed the time lol. I feed him Wellness kibble, no free feeding, he gets 2/3 cup per day, I split it into 2 feeding. If I gave the full amount in the morning he would eat the entire down and be looking to eat at night lol.

[Captainzing]

Lol

You should call him porky

[matese]

He's not fat, he's tall, he would be a porky if I fed him every time he wanted to eat lol.

[Captainzing]

As active as yorkie she are, I don't know how they could get fat
