    I wish I looked this good..

    LOL!! Hilarious and practical and the same time - W.Man. :) I like matching the bags. Why not? Makes it more fun for us at least. Plus if someone asks to use one, you can give them a cute one... (maybe it doesn't sound so good when said out loud... pfffttt oh well... who cares!?)

    New mommy here!

    6 weeks old is pretty young to be alone. :/ You might want to consider letting her sleep with a stuffed animal if you want her to sleep in a crate. Our dog sleeps in our bed or in his puppy bed in our bedroom. It's not safe to let them sleep with you that young, just because they are SO tiny...

    First Post and new momma!

    Gorgeous!! :D A trick is to turn off the flash when you take pictures and give her a treat (I use multi-grain Cherrios as a quick healthy treat) so they think the camera is a good thing.

    New schedule and helping Watson adapt...

    We let Yosuke stay in our bedroom with a babygate across the door. We give him a very small bowl of water if we are going to be gone for more than 4 hours (like a cat food dish small... lol) and a chew toy. He does really well in there. :) We also leave his crate in there with him and the door...

    Welcome!! :D Super cute little puppy!!

    Crate training pup.

    6 weeks old and by herself is VERY young. Where did you get her? She shouldn't have been brought home until 8-10 weeks old. :/ Anyway, be persistent. Doxies are very stubborn. We taught our doxie to only be in his crate while we weren't home so he felt safe. When we're home, he hangs out...

    New mommy here!

    Puppies are so fun! :D The first few weeks are the best but also tricky. If you're planning to crate train (highly recommend) then start now. I also recommend taking them to the vet and getting a check-up right away if you haven't already. They usually have a "first few weeks home" puppy...

    Second-guessing my vet...

    Any news of puppies vs false preg. yet? :)

    Chewing Blanket

    Sounds like he's just teething really bad. I'd try giving him a Kong stuffed and frozen. I freeze Yosuke's Kong for about 10-15 minutes with peanut butter and cherrios in it when he is teething really bad. Works like a charm every time - soothes his gums but also teaches him to chew on the toy...

    Hello from SW Missouri! (picture heavy)

    Love all the pictures!! We have our second longhaired doxie now and love their temperament. Their full coat doesn't develop until ages 1.5-2 years old, sometimes longer depending on their breeding and how quickly they are growing overall. If he already has that long of fur on his back, he...

    Fourth of July, One new and one old

    Be careful with the soundtrack of fireworks - it can either work for or against you. If you chose to desensitize your puppy against firework noises, do it slowly and with lots of treats/praise. The last few days have been a bit rocky with our little guy. He was a tad nervous again. We just...

    hi everyone

    Welcome!! :D Like the others have said, we love stories! Share away and include pictures when you can. :) We probably drive our friends just as crazy with stories, but found the forum to share them on too. Just wait, now that you have one... you're going to want tons!

    New to doxies and really, dogs all together! And as such, have a question:

    I just add a little extra kibble to my doxie's bowl at each feeding when he needs to gain and take away a little when he needs to lose. I also try to keep his activity level as close to the same as possible so that is less of a factor.

    Fourth of July and Anxiety

    I'm glad the noise got moved for Watson's sake. lol Whenever a loud noise occurs that scared Yosuke, we soothe him and then give him a small treat. Especially this time of year it is really helpful. He isn't as scared as before, but still a tad bit nervous. He LOVES storms now. He now knows...

    New to doxies and really, dogs all together! And as such, have a question:

    WELCOME!! :D Charlie Brown seems to suit him well. He's a cutie!! He looks a tad bit too skinny but not by much. If you can see that much of his spine he's a little too thin, in my opinion. Usually you don't want to see more than the last one or two ribs, and only a little bit at that...

    Kentucky/Indiana

    That's a great idea! :D Thank you! I'll definitely look into it.

    New to forum with food question.

    Adding at most a Tablespoon of water and microwaving to my 1/2 c. of dry food usually works great on the days when my little guy is being picky and stubborn. Especially when he smells the cat's canned food (she gets canned once a week). lol
