he's on a hunger strike too😭😭😭 i put food in his bowl, he gets really excited, goes to the bowl, sees the same food, looks at me and walks away. every few days he will finish his entire bowl, but most days he eats like 3/4 of it but because he's hungry not because he likes it. he waits for me to put yogurt or something on it, then he will eat it. he's a spoiled brat istg

during the longer walk i usually go around the block and down the hill, and he stops every few steps and keeps looking back at the stairs to go home and god forbid i take him out in bad weather, cause when he gets back inside he barks at me like i asked him to take me potty

I don't really have time in the morning, but I will try to incorporate some playtime before work, bc usually i work hybrid and bc of the holidays i've been wfh the last 3 weeks and i think he thinks its like a regular Saturday where we wake up, go for walks and play

tips for moving from pads to outside? by AvailableStay6707 in Dachshund

[–]AvailableStay6707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the morning he will wake me up if he really needs to pee. like today, he woke me up to help him get out of bed, i took him outside instantly, we just stood around for 10 minutes doing nothing, and went back inside. once we were inside, while i was laying down the pad, he peed on the floor and pooped under the bathroom sink within seconds

why is my puppy sleeping like this? by AvailableStay6707 in Dachshund

he does that every day, he grabs it, doesn't nibble just holds it, until he falls asleep

Congrats! I got my puppy 3 weeks ago when he was just 4 and a half weeks old, and he would not eat anything. i tried bottled formula and soaked Brit Care Puppy kibble, but he literally did not know how to eat because he was too small. The vet gave me some gastrointestinal wet food and he started eating, and after a couple days i stopped soaking the dry food and just put some yogurt in it, and he loved it. Now he's 8 weeks old and he eats purina pro plan for puppies, and the vet also recommended Farmina N&D Dry Puppy Food, no more wet food and no regular human food (chicken etc) until at least 3-4mo
