New puppy! :)

you didn't talk with your husband first about getting a dog?

[jessicakfifield]

I did yes. And he WAS fine with it. But the puppy that we got was a WHiner And a little Sh*t Disturber..lol( pardon my french...Hand Hes stressed out from work and stuff. So i guess i see where hes coming from.. im just super sadd about it.He didnt even give the poor dear a chance..ugh!

I'm sorry but even though I can understand stress I am still not liking your husband very much at the moment. I hope things settle down and I wish you luck.

[jessicakfifield]

Im not liking him much at the moment either, so dont be sorry. Hes sleeping in the dog room tonight, and all the dogs are sleeping in bed with me!

[Vanilla_Rat]

I am sorry to hear that!

Jeez...puppies whine,especially when they go to a new home and are taken away from their mom and siblings.Your husband should realize that! Also puppies will be puppies and will get into things and just need some training! Since you have/had many other dogs,you would think your hubby would know that.

I can really empathize! We just got another pup like 2 weeks ago. The pup cried every night...ALL night for a week. I was trying Kong training and he wasn't taking to it. Finally one night he got the idea and shut up. My husband and I got in to it at 4 am about the pup and it's crying. He told me to take it back (and later apologized in the morning when he was actually awake lol). What I did was ignore the pup all day for a couple of days, meaning no petting or affection, strictly business (food, bathroom, etc). The pup really bonded to my other pup, Harvey. I think that helped. Now he's been quiet all night for a week. Can she sleep with the other dogs yet? If she's old enough you could try crating her with a Kong or nylabone type thing. My pups sleep in the kitchen every night and I try to put them there at the same time every night so they know what's going on. I was really close to pulling out my hair with this newer pup. He wouldn't stop squealing and we live in a townhouse... our neighbors are cry babies about noise too :-S Ask your hubby to give the pup a little more time. Some dogs don't learn as fast as others. Harvey seems to be a lot quicker learner than my new pup, Rusty.
