Okay, Im sorry for being such a party poop, I usually dont freak out easily, but this is just too much.
Thanks girls though, and believe me I with you were here too, but as soon as you entered my house I can bet you all wished you were somewhere else lol.....
The situation is this. These pups have not in any way had a "normal" upbringing. The pups I have had knew how to wear a collar, fairly walk on leash and go potty outside when nine weeks (okay accidents happen hehe) But the so called puppy box these guys have had, has not given them a way to learn that you sleep in one area and if you have to go potty you have a different place to do so. These ones dont, they go, sleep and sit in the same place as they have gone poop and pee. I am not kidding when I say, I think these puppies will have serious problems to adjust to "normal" puppy and dog hood. I have them in one of my bathrooms, it is bigger than my laundry room and thought it would be nice enough for them. I put blankets out so they could sleep on and have a soft and comfy place, problem being they poop on blanket drag it around lay on the floor where the other goe is and end up soooooo nasty youd want to put on gloves before you lift them. AND they scream bloody murder the whole time they are in there and we are up. So I have tried to have them in the house, take them out once a hour, but like I said before they just dont get it. So first thing when we get in they go potty. The bathroom they have messed up so to the point so I both days have had to not only mop and pick piles from the floor, they have been standing with their nasty little paws on walls doors and well everywhere. So basically a from floor to ceiling clean up both days. AND bath for puppies both days too. Mind you they liked that.
Since they have never been in a house before, they are extremely impressed by all my plants, urns with silk flowers (have fewer now then two days ago) they appenently thought the carpet was for digging, so they managed to scratch up the carpet quite a bit. I thought Id put down paper on the floor in the bathroom, hahahaha not easier, they just shredded them, with poop and all.
I am to the point where I am having psychotic laughs when I see a puppy pee and run ther with my three bottles and a cloth, sent chris to home depot and bought some kind of white cloths comes in 30 pack they may last until sunday if I am lucky.
Chris built a little pen for them outside today, so they can be in there for a while and that way try and make them go potty outside. And we had an old dog house we cleaned out and have in that pen too. They seem to enjoy that, but they can not be out there too much, way too hot and humid and the flies are bad especially with cropped ears.
Nicker.... I agree I think dobies with uncropped ears are adorable, but Chris's mom doesnt so the one who is both cropped and taped, well it is just poorly done so I have to brace it. The two who have already been cropped, but yet not taped and braced, Since they already had to go through the cropping, I figured I could help and tape them, since it will be another week before they can take it to the vet who did it, and then it will only be a longer period they have to wear the taping.
Hubby well hmmmmm right now I should not get going, because it is HIS moms puppies and I have to do the whole lot I asked him if he could massage the testicle on the male, he just looked at me and said "that would be a bit too gay for me" hahahahaha such a dork. The male had only one test. dropped. And since I have done it before I said I could try, BUT only if she promised me to not sell him as breeding dog, but since they have to be intact for show and certain other activities. We are doing well though, the little ball is coming along just fine hehe.
Galahad is an angel, I love him soooooo much. The puppies steel his toys, bother him on the couch, try and steel his food, push him away when he wants to drink, and he just has a look on his face like " ohhhhh well you are small and retarded, Ill put up with you"
And jaba......... scared of the competition ? HAHAHAHAHA I WILL FIND TIME TO ENTER, well it may be something extremely simple, but I am not going to miss bpo's 4th of july contest hehe.
Here are a couple of pics. This is after they have played and pooped and peed and shredded paper for a couple of hours, so they are cute for about 30 min lol..... And yes it is shredded paper on my floor, noone has to tell me my floors are dirty hehe. They have never seen a couch before wednesday, I have to say, they have adjusted rather well lol...
