Hi Serate. Harley is 2 months old and both he and Dixie are mini-doxies. Dixie weighs 8# currently and with Harley being male, he'll probably weigh-in at 10-11# when fully grown.

War...listen to Pamy...it works!!

Pamy, I think the Nala bone will be easy for War...saying 'no' will not be easy because she's a softie!!!

Eggie Harley is so cute! He looks so serious, lol. How much does he weigh now? He looks tiny.

Hehe, I am feeling rather guilty after saying NO, she is just a puppy after all. I have to keep reminding myself its like having kids, sometimes you have to say no for their own good...besides, I only have one pair of sneakers and can't have her running off with them to chew on them, lol.

Yes, War, it's hard being a Mom saying "NO" but...

Not to mention that you DON'T want her getting Zapped by chewing on some electrical cord. Might stunt her growth (in more ways than one). Checked out, just to see what those Nala bones chew bones Pamy suggested looked like. Sounds like a winner, they probably have a MUCH better flavor too! Stay firm WarMom!

Casey and Harley and Dixie are ALL just so SWEET!
Loving the pics!

Sun, clearly your crank flashlight rocks in comparison to mine!

OG that double sonic boom the Space Shuttle makes can be heard all over so Cal..

Eggie.. I saw those pics and thought Eggie needs to see them.. and they are yours! Harley is adorable and so cute with Dixie, too..

War, bitter apple might help, especially with a little dog.. labs tend to just keep chewing. They can be trained though and I know most of my lab friends who had kids just told them they needed to keep stuff picked up and put away and not to whine if the dog ate something. Labs love to eat those little plastic soldiers.

I always thought nylabones were hard on their teeth (nalabone seems to be doggie poop bags???) but with a little one she could spend quite a bit of time on rawhide bones or chips. The labs went through those too fast, sort of like potato chips.. but then they liked to chew on wood, too..

But something doggie to chew on is good. You said she doesn't have all her adult teeth yet, so she is teething anyway.

Eggie, a good friend of mine has a little red, mini-doxy by the name of Harley. What are the odds? Oh, but her Harley is a girl.

OG, thanks for sharing that tidbit! Yes, what are the odds...hahaha! Harley certainly can be a name for either sex, that's for sure. It's an adorable name!!

Let me tell you how I came to name my little guy "Harley".

My sister and I drove out to three different breeders in the Fresno area to look at mini's. We were on Hwy 99 quite a bit, going back and forth. Well, after I bought my little guy, my sister and I were back on Hwy 99 trying to come up with names for the pup. I then saw a huge advertisment for "Harley Davidson motorcycles" and I immediately knew I'd name him "Harley".

My sister loved the name as well. This morning Harley and Dixie are playing and wrestling under my chair as I am at the computer. They both have little bells on their collars and I can here those little bells going and going with little growls in-between...hahahaha!

Judy's Harley came from the pound with that name. She said God meant for them to take her as both she and her husband used to be bikers in their younger days and rode Harleys.

Debra..melt is the perfect word! I get all mushy and want to snuggle with the puppies. My boys are getting so big that our snuggles turn into free for alls! I guess it takes another year before they turn into snuggles again.

Oh Egbok - I remember when you got Dixie, and how envious I was. I'm having those same old feelings again. Congratulations on your new pup!

Ok so in 8 hours I'll be getting Jack ready to go get neutered. Hubby is NO help. He won't go with me - he can be a few minutes late to work. He said to do what I think on the bloodwork. Didn't want to microchip. IF I can get them to microchip him with/out signing him up for the yearly subscription I will do it. I guess I don't understand the subscription. But with all the traveling we do and we take Jack with us.

Tho hubby said before he went to bed that we could cancel the appointment and go get a female Shih Tzu. I told him he needed to buy a new house, get me a maid and a gardnerer/lawn boy, and I'd think about it.

I wish it were Tuesday morning and I was going to pick Jack up.

Aw, I remember Dixie's puppy pics. I was looking at the pic of her and Harley thinking she was still real small...right up til I saw the puppy pic, lol. She's huge compared to when she was younger!

We were watching the funniest thing earlier. Harvey is really easy going, which makes him perfect for kids, they can run around and chase him or roll around on the ground, it doesn't bother him the least when my little nephew is rough (he seems to know nephews just a baby and we're teaching him how to be more gentle, lol.)

He's taken the intrussion of the puppy like it's no big deal. Even when she climbed up on his back and went to sleep he barely twitched. Today she's been kind of wound up, I'm thinking cuz of the nasty weather they haven't really been able to go outside and run, and she spent the better part of the afternoon chasing him around, nipping at his ankles, and acting just like a little sister bugging a big brother. He let her do this for a few hours. We were sitting in the den (tile floor) and watching her run around him in circles and I told her that she better watch it cuz he was going to lose his patience and teach her a lesson. She should have listend to me, lol. I was talking to my bil on the phone watching them and I told my bil Harv was getting ready to school the puppy on who the big dog in the house was and then I started to howl! He didn't growl, bark, snap, he just lazily reached one paw out and I swear, smacked her bottom just enough for her to notice. She sat down for a minute and stared at him and I told bil what had happened and he said that won't stop her. Sure enough he was right, she got up and ran back over to him and before she could get going, Harvey who was sitting at the time, reached out with his nose and gave her a little shove (it really wasn't that hard either!) That little puppy slid halfway across the den, lol! I laughed so hard I dropped the phone. For a minute there, it looked just like puppy shuffleboard!

She hasn't bugged him since then. In fact right now they are curled up together on the couch sleeping, lol.

She's got her bone and has been chewing on that. We're still having to watch her carefully though. It's the same with house breaking. Sometimes she waits by the door, others she just squats wherever she's at. We've been taking her out everytime Harvey goes out and whenever she wants out and really praising her when she goes potty outside. She seems to have some training though, she does "sit" sometimes and earlier I told her to lay down and all four paws splayed right on out and she looked up at me waiting for a pet and "good girl!"

I can't believe no one has called about her. She is so sweet and playful and seems like someones been trying to train her that it doesn't make sense that someone isn't looking for her.

War, I went back and read all about the puppy who found herself a great home! LOL!!

She's adorable and I think it's so wonderful of you and your family to take such good care of her while searching for her owners. However, with each passing day and no one calling about her, well, I'd say you've got an adorable new furbaby!!

I'll keep my eye on this thread to see how this turns out for you...good luck!

War try adding Cheerios or a very small treat when she goes potty. It is what got Jack to ask to go outside. I know there are those who think it's wrong to treat for going outside, but the vet told us sometimes praise was not enough. Within a week of adding Cheerios Jack was asking to go outside each and every time. Has not had an accident since the end of September except for once during Thanksgiving. He had been playing nonstop for over an hour with our grandbaby and I think he didn't realize or waited too long go ask to go.
