Well the more I get to see of Otis the more like a cat he seems.  He has now taken to catching birds and eating them  .  At first we just thought he was taking them off the cats after they caught them.  We would take them off him and dispose of them and then an hour later he would have another one  .  Well DH was out this morning feeding horses and Otis barrels by him jumps in the bushes and comes out with a bird    After seeing that the light came on, he was getting his own birds.  Seems he is quite the big hunter  .

So is this normal for a pyr (little on any dog)??  Our is my poor boy completely species confused and really thinks he is a cat 

OMG!!!! Decker is just the cutest!!!    so happy for Mack and you.  Too cute for words.  Can't wait to see more photos.

Unfortunately I have never seen or heard of Canidae .  I live in a small town and choices are limited.  You can get the regular supermarket choices or our feed store has just afew choices.  I was feeding Nutro Natural Choices which they loved, but then with the pet food scare and some other problems the feed store had with dealing with that company they pulled that brand.  I am currently trying them on Techni-Cal a Canadian brand; failing that is it either Science Diet, Skoi (sp?), acouple of real cheap brands and some totally "green" mega overprices choices.  .

Do you thing that the puppy food would harm my older dog??  I would only be feeding it for another 6 months anyway.  It has Glusomide in it too which is something we current supplement our old guy with. 

By the time it was time for bed last night all the dirt was gone and he was just his normal off white colour.  Gotta love their coats for that, low maintenance if you can handle looking at beige instead of white  .  I really need to rename this boy Swiffer for all the stuff he gets attached to him 

. My breeder had this special shampoo for hte white fur to "restore" the color (or absence of I suppose). I am not quite that obsessive since I will never show Bella, but I love, love, love it when she's all purdy and white.

Sounds like I need some of that shampoo even thou he won't get a bath that often  .  Actually I have shampoo like that for our white horse.  Wonder if that would work on Otis?? 

Oh your furkids are just too precious .  Man are you going to have your hands full.  Otis is 4 1/2 months old and keeping us on our toes and you have double trouble.  How cool is that!! 

I think Otis aka the Swiffer has now graduated to Pigpen!!

What I was greeted to today when i got home 

Sounds just like my Otis.  The boy is constantly peeing outside and then comes in and pees as well  .  I hear ya cause I am at my wits end on this too.  Our Saint was just a breeze to house train but Otis is just too much. 

The really funny thing on all this is that he is locked in our ensuite at night and he has no accidents at all.  I take him out to pee during the night and he is great, he pees then comes straight back in and goes to bed, but as to the rest of the house.....

Hey guys!!!  Haven't been around much but have been popping in to read now and then  .  We have had Otis now for a month and he is just the biggest and cutest goof around.  Man I love that pup  .  Unfortunately after our great first week the only thing he has learned is to sit and the little bugger keeps peeing in the house!!!! 

I need help and advice big time  .  I've watched him, timed him, put him out, brought him in, scolded him, scolded the mess, yelled at him, talked nice to him, rubbed his nose in it and he keeps peeing.  Please help!!!!  cause everything I have tried just isn't working
