LOL, funny. He's only 6 months old and spends most of his day outside, unless it's too cold or rainy. He is put out often, but chooses to use my bedroom floor as his loo. The bedroom door stays open, and he sleeps on our bed at night, so when he jumps down at night, I wake up and put him outside immediately. What get's me, is during the day, how I get him to let me know he needs outside or how I get him to ask to be let out like my other dogs do. I guess I should be happy he ain't going ON my bed.

Meggie, he is just beautiful! :o)

Escapee, my dog sleeps with me sometimes. Thankfully I'm a lite sleeper and notice if she is off the bed, get up and get her outside. I know if she sleeps with me, I will have to get up during the night. That's the only way I know of.

Meggie, LOVE the pics! Carter is beyond adorable! I love the family photo! :-)

Escapee, 6 months old, might have a whole lot to do with him still peeing in the house. If he's peeing in the 'same' spot all the time, try using some 'urine out' stuff. Or a citrus spray around the area. This might deter him, cause it sure sounds like you're doing everything right.

Mags left me one pee spot a year for four years. Then she became real pissy (pardon the pun) when Cami moved into the bedroom a few months ago. Now they are both sleeping in kennels at night. We are ALL sleeping better. I never thought I'd ever kennel my dogs, EVER!

SuperG, yep, I told Mags, 'Sweetie, you'd better be worth all this trouble!' She just grinned. It's getting more difficult to find those brown hairs!

Escapee I know others don't like to use treats to train, but for me that's what got Jack to ASK to go out. His treat of choice is Cheerios but if you have a bigger dog you might want to use something else. Jack just LOVES cheerios. He only gets Cheerios when he goes potty. 1 for pee, 2 for poo, and 1 when he gets inside, so the most he gets at one potty break. Before the Cheerios he was pretty much potty broke but had a hard time remembering to tell me he had to potty so if I wasn't observant I wouldn't catch him. Within 3 days of adding Cheerios to is regime, he started coming to me and barking to go out, and still does.

*L* OK SG I won't say anything.

I took Jack by the vet yesterday to weigh him so I could get his heartworm medicine - up to 10.4lbs the tubbo. Anyway I mentioned what I was told about sedating Jack to get him groomed. They were like OH NO he doesn't need that. The vet tech said that's the newest thing these days for puppies, but it's not good for them and it doesn't teach them to get used to being groomed so they will probably need to be sedated as adults. Not good at all. So they gave me a 50% coupon off of who they recommend. I called yesterday and left a message and didn't get called back until this morning. I was totally honest with the lady, saying that he was banned from PetsMart grooming center. She was like really that's stupid. She said that you just have to be patient with puppies because they don't like to have their heads held but if you were patient enough and talked to them enough you could get the job done. So far I'm impressed. So I made an appointment for Monday. We'll see how it goes.

Spikey is little, only about 6 pounds. I am going to try Cheerios (Or something else that he'd like)

Good idea. I jumped outta bed at 4 this morning because he jumped off the bed. I scooped him up and ran down the hall chanting "don't pee don't pee don't pee" as I made it to the back door. He went out and went pee and I said GOOD BOY SPIKER! and brought him back in and then I couldn't fall back to sleep....ugh. At least I don't have a pee spot to clean.

Just make sure that the treat he gets he likes and he ONLY gets when he goes potty outside.

Jack doesn't sleep with us. When we first got him he was so tiny - 2 lbs - we were afraid we would roll over on him or he would fall off. But I set the alarm for every 3 hours and took him out no matter what. Then after awhile 4 hours, then 5 hours, now I set it for 7 or 7 1/2 hours and he usually just wants to get into bed with us. He still doesn't sleep with us but that is HIS choice. He'll snuggle for a bit then start this gawd awful whine which means PUT ME TO BED NOW! He sleeps in the cat carrier on the floor next to my side of the bed. And that's how he wants it.

We tried Cheerios because when we did reg puppy treats he either wouldn't eat his food or he'd get the squirts. He still thinks that cheerios are God's gift to good little puppies.

of course along with the cheerios I sing him a happy little song. Annoyed the heck outta my step daughter and my niece when they stayed here. They couldn't get the song out of their heads.

Carter is so cute! I love his scruffy little oof oof.

Kstme, I'm so relieved to hear the news on Mags! Hope she'll continue to improve.

Hmmm, SG must be just itching to share more photos of the puglets.

He is going to make some one very happy. But you'd better not look at that face too long or you might change your mind.

Superg, they are so CUTE! REALLY CUTE! I know it's hard to get rid of any of them, but in the long run, you 'might' end up a bit more sane?!?!:-)

We had a scare with Mags yesterday, but she seems fine today. Spoke with the vet a few times, though. She woke up, ran outside and vomited all over the yard. Then moped around all day. She's done this before, but now I am paranoid. As I said, she's fine today, thankfully!

These are water dogs! These are water dogs! The Sussex is a SPANIEL! Cami is TERRIFIED of rain and puddles! She is so danged funny, I can't help but laughing at her. She gets to the edge of the patio and stops...I mean full on run and brake. As soon as the rain stops for a few minutes, I entice her on to the grass and she'll do her business. But, oh my, if one drop touches her, she zooms back to the patio and puts her nose to the door. We've had rain most of the day and she's been non-stop in and out.

Slinky, Carter is a Border Terrier. What a sweetie and what a HANDFUL! It is really like having a toddler- everything ends up in his mouth.

Tomorrow should be interesting as we have weddings all weekend and Zach will be taking care of him....

Those puglets are so cute, and so photogenic. How do you get them to pose like that? I know it will be hard to part with Carbon Copy, SG. Will you be keeping the other two?

I'm not ready for another dog yet, but everytime one of you post pics of your pups, I think that might be the kind I want. First I was thinking I might just like a pug, then Meggie posted Carter's picture and I had to find out what kind he was, and now more puglets. My mind changes depending on the last picture I saw.

LOL Slinkydog! I am like you....I want one of each kind. I have seen the Border Terriers in person and they are the cutest thing. I think they have this personae where they are such confident spirits.

We have a digital camera and just keep snapping pictures until we get a good one....they do not pose...the only time they are still is when they sleep!

I know it will be best for Carbon Copy to go to his new home where he will be the only dog and there will someone with him all the time. He is the smallest and more and more he is ending on the bottom of the pile. They play a game where one is it and everyone chases, then piles on top of each other. A couple of days ago CC ended on the bottom and got his wind knocked out of him. Scared the be-jabbers out of me and helped me decide to let him go. He is a darling little guy, so bright and wanting to please. He will be a fantastic dog for them. The other two, we call them the blondies, are the heavy, big boned double coat type that is typical of fawn pugs.

I think DH is going to be okay with only 4 dogs!! We can each walk two..it is really awkward with 5, tried it and it was like Americas Funniest Videos.
