Welcome to the BW family, Marbles!!!

Snoopy isnt sure what to think though...hehe

Marbles is a red/white almost 6 months old. We got him yesterday and have had our eye on him for a few weeks. He is crate trained...whoo hooo...was suppose to be working on house training.

Here is when my ?'s begin.

It makes no sense to me that I walk him to pee, he does really well, bring him back in and he pee's another 5 times in the house...within 30mins!!! I took him out 5 times in 4 hours this am...does this make sense (but we just got him yesterday, maybe he doesnt know this is 'home' b/c we know he can hold it 12 hours.) Vet doesnt think UTI.

Ok, now it is great he will go into the crate..but I cant leave the room w/o him wining, even if Snoops is in the room with him...he just got so attached to me.

....so how am i going to train him so I can leave him alone for 3 hours???? I dread this one..should I just start to leave at 10-15mins at a time now or wait until he gets to know us, maybe another week, then start trying?

Last, Snoopy is JEALOUS!!!! Big time. They did a zoomie last night, but since, the pup can have any treat, esp a chew bone or Snoopy attacks the pup....now Marbles is scarred of Snoopy. I even bought them their own bones, gave it to the seperately, snoopy still attacked Marbles...so I put Marbles in the crate so he could chew it...when Marbles left, Snoops went in and got it out :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Ahhh...i have been wanting to post this topic for so long but we wanted to wait to move to California, then we were going to wait until the new year, but we just had to get this one.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all your responses.

As to answer some questions.

Marbles name is from the Peanut character, Snoopy's lemon brother. We always said if we got a lemon or red/white, we would name him Marbles, but not many people get the name.

We got him from a lady here in CA that did beagle rescue for many years. She now does some showing of dogs as well.

I felt very comfortable with her and she seemed very picky about who she would give her dogs too and I had a 2 hour phone interview with her, but a lot of is was about beagle rescue, ect. He is not a rescue but did come from the beagles she has there. Again, we really wanted a dog that was not abused, hurt, or unsocialized b/c we hope he will show confidence to Snoops eventually...but if it doesnt happen it is ok too.

We are definately giving lots of love to Snoopy. Sometimes we walk them together, sometimes seperately. The pup needs to be walked so much right now and with him just learning to walk on leash it is tough with them both, but we are trying to love Snoopy just as much as the little one.

Ron left the pup alone for about 20mins today while walking Snoops. He wined for about 10mins then did ok...it is a start!

He is so attached already, it is amazing to have a puppy.

Thanks
Amanda

Hey guys,
Just another update,
Marbles is doing great, there are still some major dominace issues and Snoopy really doesnt pay much attention to him, he is more about protecting 'his' toys and getting our attention, although we pay him A LOT of attention now.

As for the neutered ?...Snoopy is, and Marbles will be in the next month. I highly believe in neutering/spaying..there are too many rescuses out there...could this be the issue when he is so young?

Smeagle...he does look like your beagle...but yours has the face of a bit of English beagle in him? I love that face...Marbles will likely look like the hunting american beagle when he gets older.

Hellen Louise...Jen n Jersey is right on about the history of Marbles,....mostly Spike and Belle are names...Marbles is there but not mentioned but a few times...so how did we know about Marbles...hehe...dont tell Ron, but he is a Peanuts addict..hehe...*shhhhhh*

Jen N Jersey..thanks for giving the info on the name..i tried to look up pics, but there just are none on the internet that I can find
