Now now Supergranny, dogs NEVER get embarrassed when you tell them how beautiful they are. He probably turned his head away from you as he was thinking, "well of course I am silly human. Now, if you don't mind, I must keep on the lookout for my special human."

Kstme, the furballs are all so lovely. It seems like only yesterday Ollie was just a wee pup. Now he's grown so gracefully into his Sir Ollie role, hasn't he?

Thanks Who, he definitely enjoys his role in life! :-)

I forgot to mention earlier...we never had to use the muzzle! :-) But, I've found out, I really like Urine Gone!

Superg - they really are lovely dogs to look at. Both Jasper (my rottie)and Oscar are/were camera hounds. Love to pose for pics. Some new ones:

Awww, BEAUTIFUL dog there, Jasper! :-) I am here to post some pics of my pups! A couple friends came down this weekend and brought their yr and a half old golden retriever with. The pups were a little apprehensive at first, and they were always overwhelmed by the BIG energy the BIG doggie had, but they did have fun.. So. there's photos of my pups as well as Bailey, the golden retriever.


Bailey chewin on a chew.


Sandy, protecting her chew.


Mommy and Sandy.


This picture is just too funny.. I'm laughing at Sandy and she looks cross eyed.. This is her doing her scratching her neck and belly on my face thing.. It's weird lol!


Mocha, sitting on the vent, taking a drink.


Mocha and Bailey


Cute Sandy


My friends and Bailey and me and my pups!


the pups were happier when on the couch at eye level with Bailey lol.


Bailey likes to chase the flashlight!


Cute Mocha


Mocha again!

Welpers... This whole board seems quiet lately.. Anywho... The puppies got their 2nd set of shots this morning. Mocha was a big baby and whined the most, but Sandy has shown she's mad the most. She has peed and pooped in the house TWICE since we got back this morning. both times she peed, i had JUST taken her outside. This last time she pooped, I had just brought her in from outside. Has anyone found this happening right after their puppies got shots? We hadn't had ANY accidents in the house for at least two days, until today. I'm just hoping this isn't a huge house training set back.

LOL, Saxy! A Sussex is rarely completely house trained until they reach one year! With most dogs it takes a while for the muscles to develop and therefore, the pups don't always 'know' when the moment will strike. Don't worry about it! :-)

Kstme: Thank you for reassuring me. LOL Last time I had puppies growing up around me, I was just a "pup" myself. I was barely 4! So.. Yeah.. It's nice to have a place with lots of very experienced dog owners. LOL.

I ordered a book today called Family Dog, by Richard Wolters. My vet suggested it. He said it's a great book on training dogs. I gotta find some separate time with them in order to teach sit, cuz if you try it together, they're all over each other, excited for the idea of treats. LOL

My vet, and this is not who gave them the first shots, it's the vet that my family has used for YEARS, said that he thinks that Sandy has some Red Heeler in her. And he said that Mocha's got chow in her. I hear something new about them every time someone with a vet degree sees them. But hey, I guess Red Heelers are very very smart dogs, so hey, i got myself an intelligent one on my hands. LOL

Saxy - I thought you got both pups from the same litter?

Re toilet training, we got sooo lucky with Oscar, 10 weeks old and that was that (knock on wood) he has a bladder as big as a house, he can go a good twelve hours if daddy has left early at say 4 am and not woken him up to go out and mummy lollygags in bed until late. Jasper was a real stinker with training, but I chalk part of that up to getting him while living in an apartment in the winter and paper training him to start. He'd still pee in the house on occasion when annoyed or as he got older so he was always confined in the kitchen when we went out. I'd say he still had a couple of accidents each year. But I loved him so much a puddle of pee every so often was something I could live with, I wish he was still around to pee on the floor.

lol..I feel like you about Sophie, my frenchie, is 8 almost 9. This week-end the house was full of guests (we live at the beach) and Sophie didn't feel I was paying enough attention to her. She came and peed right next to the chair I was sitting in. Back door was open by the way. I just go get the cleaning solution!
Saxy, you are such a good mom. They will eventually get the right idea...besides they are so cute you will forgive them!

Jasper: They did come from the same litter, but as i've found out recently. There can be two dad's for a litter. one thing for sure, they both have rottie in them. LOL

And thank you Supergranny. :-) And yes, they are really cute, aren't they?

I was going to put this in my update, but I figured I was getting carried away enough with all of my graphics. But I just had to come in here and share it because it is so cute. It's my "Puppy Eyes" photo of Buddy.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! That is SOOO cute!!! It's about like the puppy eyes look that Sandy gave me last night after she knew she had been bad when she squatted on the kitchen floor WHILE the back door was open and Mocha was already outside. I just gawked at her and then said you little b.... Fill in the b. My mom was like, what, did she pee? I seriously think she is mocking us for putting her in pain when getting her shots yesterday.. lol

Once again, lovely pooch, Silly.

It sure would take a lot of fortitude on my part not to give in, Kstme.
TVCH has some very good lookin' woofers. One of these days I'll learn to take a pic of Charlie before he moves. He won't pose, and if he sees a camera he shifts. Missed some hilarious postures that way.
Knock on wood, so far he hasn't shown his displeasure by piddling in unwanted places, but he pouts. Boy, can that dog pout if he doesn't get his way. Then I have to restrain dh from sucking up to him.LOL

Isn't it cute! What I forgot to mention is that I had taken that picture after I walked into my room and saw my purse at his feet-obviously he had been rummaging through it as usual. Don't know what his fascination is with getting into my purse! He is worse then my kidlet!

Wow, lots of great pics since I've been here.. everyone has such cute dogs!

Thinking of Jbean and Lolabean today..

As for the peeing.. of course you have to be kind while they mature but I'd still be saying "NO" and scooping said pup to the outside, with the door shut..

Also try to stay outside with them and "catch" them doing their thing in the right area and then be generous with the praise. They soon love to hear "oh WHAT a good dog!" or whatever phrase you use. But they will have accidents and that's just life. Takes them varying times to mature.

Definitely agree with you, Sea! We have 'squirt' going through a dog door and he's been really good, but this afternoon he widdled in front of the door! lol It was outside immediately, with praise, as he continued his duty.

Ryan, thinking of Earnhardt and you.

Poor little LolaBean! Do they make funnel collars that small?
