Hey everyone!
I've been scanning in and out of your posts befor my girlfriend and i found our little beagle charlie(brown) and i found my self quite charmed by them and this forum!
We have a few questions about our 9 week old puppy, If anyone can help me out with any info i'd be very thankful!
Where to start /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
He has had his first set of shots and been dewormed twice so far.
The breeder we got him from told us he had been paper trained.. which he mostly is.. when we bring him to the paper.. but other than that he just seems to pee in a few "specific" spots in the place when we're not around or asleep.. (He's really good about waiting untill i take him outside befor he REALLY goes) but still, everything i do seems to do nothing.. Is this just because hes young and maybe scared of the bathroom with his paper?
Also, If he pee's and smells it there later.. won't he pee in the same spot? (like cats?).. i've been using fabreeze incase.. to eliminate as much of the smell as i can (for his nose)
Second question, Since the day we got him (2 days ago) He's had what i thougth at first to be "consecutive sneezing" but now it just seems like he has a hairball hes fighting to cough up once in a while.. then just stops and carrys on with his life.. We're so worried?? we KNOW he hasn't eaten anything from our place or the car.. he mows his food down like a crazy man and he has no problems with his water... any ideas?
(usually goes "cough cough cough" "sneeze" then what seems to be him trying to cough somthing up but nothing does)
i hope its just a puppy cold?...
Third question, How much should we feed Charlie? He seems to be ALWAYS hungry.. so we've been doing our best to limit it to 3-4 times a day.. small ones in the morning, big lunch (then big run or walk) then 2 small dinners.. one befor we go to bed to keep him busy.. .. is this ok? little handfulls..... (hes a pretty big beagle for his age)
Fourth question, We can't seem to find where to leave him in our apartment when we go to out to the store.. today we tried leaving him for the first time in the bathroom with his favorite toy, bed and some food/water and his paper... NOT working! he howled for the first time.. (PEIRCING) as you all know! so we got sad and took him out (after 5 minutes) and put him into the kitchen... with some paper.. he barked and whined a bit but we were late so we left anyways and came back and he was quiet..
Any ideas?
Anyways i'm sure i'll have many many more as this is a new world for us both but far its been an amazing adventure! The little guy has SO much emotion.. hes perfect when hes a good boy /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
