Ophiliasgrandma...a Sussex is a very strange breed of dog. Once they've met someone, they NEVER forget that person. If they liked him ten years ago, they will like them 10 years from now. If they didn't, they won't ever adjust their initial reaction. Norm walked in and made himself right at home. His tail hasn't stopped wagging and he's so full of love and big slobbery kisses, it makes your heart swell. He immediately checked out his old kennel, too! He's bonded with Thekid immediately, again.

I was too upset to post this this yesterday or this afternoon. Thekid's visit with our vet was upsetting. Norm arrived with massive ear infections in both ears. He's on antibiotics. His ears were filthy. His teeth will need cleaning soon and he is not even two yet!! He is actually down 10 lbs on his weight!!! That's 20% of his total body weight!

We sent off some side pics to his original breeder in England, who flipped out and has sent the most scathing reprimand I have ever seen from any breeder to the breeder in Indy. England is ready to report her to the SSCA in the US <she is also a member>. Indy is on the board and could lose that position in a heartbeat.

There's a whole lot of 'mess' going on, but he's back and getting the care he desperately needs. Everything will be fine. Trust me, he will NEVER go anywhere else EVER!

I'm so happy he is back where he belongs AND that there will be repercussions on Indy.

sometimes dogs will re-mark where there is a dog "smell." (i.e., they or another dog have marked that area before). Is it in the same spot in your sister's house?

How about putting a belly band on her when you visit people? Or bring a pee mat w/ you for her?

Other suggestions, make sure all other doors are closed in your sister's house so she can't sneak away when you are not looking or better yet, keep her on a leash in the house, attached to you, so you can always keep an eye on her and scoop her up and run her outside as soon as she looks like she is about to go potty.

Also, you may let her out a lot while you are visiting, but do you actually take her for a 10 or 20 minute walk while you are there? That helped a lot w/ my puppy.

Kstme!!!! It's so good to see the pups again! Gawd, they are beautiful dogs!!! I'm glad that breeder in Indy will face repercussions. There NO EXCUSE for that!

Sheilaree - It could be the pup is just so excited at being somewhere else, she gets too "distracted" and potties in the house. All I can recommend is keeping a very close eye on her and take her out frequently.

Loved the pics of Finnegan and Norm w/siblings!

So glad your baby is HOME Kstme where you can lavish the love and attention he deserves.

Don't know if anyone might have posted this before, but a friend sent this to me today:

Teachers Gift

On the first day of school, the children brought gifts for their teacher. The florist's son brought the teacher a bouquet of flowers. The candy-store owner's daughter gave the teacher a pretty box of candy. Then the liquor-store owner's son brought up a big, heavy box. The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little bit. She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?" she guessed. "No," the boy replied. She tasted another drop and asked, "Champagne?. "No," said the little boy "It's a puppy".

I have formed some good friendships here at TVCH.

One of these friends, pcakes2, recently told me she was sending me 'something' from her trip to Disneyland. I got the package via UPS yesterday, and opened it up.

Well, it turns out it wasn't a present for me, but for little Finnegan!!!

Escapee -- Yes, he's a wire-haired Jack Russell -- also called a Parson Russell by the AKC.

Thanks everyone -- he does not like to wear anything -- hats, coats, etc. The first pic (with his eyes covered) was taken last night under duress. The second one was taken this morning while he was sleepy -- we got lucky to even get those shots -- he kept flinging the hat off his head!! :-)
