Lol, Dex used to do that. He would also dig through his box in search of a certain one too. SOMETIMES he even put some of them back in the box, which I thought was adorable. None of the above occur any more. I will try the ice though!! Good idea. I wanted to find him one of those balls that roll around on its own because i think he would like that… Not sure where though.

….EVEN THOUGH while I was typing that last response, he was eating my sister-in-law's baby's noonie!! I'll have to buy her a new one... lol
siiiighhh.

Yes, he does the pillow thing too! We nap on the couch together and each time, slowly but surely, he starts hogging more and more of the pillow! hahaha.
It is definitely hard to get mad at such a cute face
And thanks

So I put my pillow and blanket on the couch to take a nap, but I go to the bathroom before I lay down. I return to find this:

:rolleyes:

Hm. that's strange that a little red dot of light would seem like a light at all to them, not in the way of white light from the sun or a car or something…

Yes, he is just over five months and is definitely teething. I tried the laser light too. He did the same thing he does with most of his stuff, he kinda just stares at it amazed and will try to get it if it is close to him, but won't go all out with it.
Then again I only used it twice before it broke… I will have to get a new one.

He also grew out of his musical yawns (well, he only does it about a third as much as he used to do it) and coming to sit on my lap when I get on the floor. lol

Wow. Some of those are so gruesome. Bleck!

Apparently Dexter has decided he is a grown up now and has no interest in his toys any more. He used to play with them every day, but for the last few weeks he shows almost NO interest in them whatsoever. I buy him a new one every week and he has a variety of types, but he doesn't touch any of them. He will play with them for a short while if I also play with it, but doesn't get very excited about it like he used to. I have even gone as far as to blow bubbles for him to see if he will chase them, but he only tries to bite the ones that get too close to him and just watches them with confusion as they disappear lol. I have never had a dog before so this could probably be completely normal, and I just don't know. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the site! Twas helpful lol. Dex makes the "roo" and "burr" sounds only at other dogs who are not paying enough attention to him. Once he did it at my brother-in-law who was teasing him. He does have the musical yawns too <3…and sometimes he makes a similar noise to the yawn noise when I'm too slow at getting his food out.

I wish there was a video that showed examples of baroos, yodels, howls, etc. that way I could more clearly label them when they happen. haha

Maybe it's a ghost?! haha…

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you! I appreciate that. Also, the fact that more than once our neighbors leave their trash out and cats tear up the bag so Dex discovered a chicken bone laying around, he didn't even mind me taking that straight from his mouth. He just looked up at me like "Awwww mannnn….Oh, well, Let's continue our walk!" haha.

Well, I am not sure if this is evidence against him resource guarding, but he really doesn't seem to mind me taking his treats or food from him ever. I actually take the rawhide from him while he is chewing if we move rooms or something and he doesn't seem to mind whatsoever. I touch his mouth (outside obviously) and face while he eats treats sometimes and he doesn't react whatsoever to that either. He doesn't seem to ever eat quickly or gulp down the treats, I think the problem with the rawhide is just that the two times he choked/swallowed a sharp piece was that they were too small to hold with his paws and break pieces off like he usually does, so he just put it all in his mouth and didn't chew it enough. I WILL NOT give him those any more though and anything that I do give him will be taken away toward the end of it.

Welp, I've signed on the dotted line! WIsh me luck!

I don't ever give them to him when I'm not home, and I am always in the room when he chews on them. And OBVIOUSLY if I said that I won't be giving them to him any more SO I DO GET IT NOW, THANKS. I won't say anything else regarding the "snarky" response. I Usually do take them away when they get too small, but he goes through them so fast that sometimes I don't see when he is ready to eat the last bit- I guess my idea of supervision didn't include watching him and only him for the entire duration of the chewing. The ones that I give are the smallish square pieces, the 12in sticks seems much better and I will try those out. I will be sure to keep an eye out to take away the last couple inches. He doesn't want to chew on toys at all and the rawhide is the only thing that seems to amuse him inside.

Hahaha I love the treat attack moves! Dex does that, also to a lesser degree. I hope it grows into this though!

Well, tonight Dexter choked on a piece of rawhide for the second time! The first time was about a 3-4 weeks ago, and he managed to swallow it before I even got to him (only across the room). Maybe that time he wasn't actually choking, perhaps the piece he swallowed just had sharp edges. He stretched his neck out and yelped every few seconds about 8 times. BUT tonight my fiance and I were sitting on the couch and he was laying on the floor directly in front of us and my fiance moved and caused the blanket to drop onto him. I'm not sure if it startled him and made him swallow the rawhide or if it was just a timing coincidence, but he stood up, stretched his neck out and started yelping loudly every few seconds, but this time thrusting his head forward each time. I got down and when I touched his neck to face him toward me I could feel the lump stuck in his throat. I opened his mouth and my fiance pulled it the piece of rawhide out. It was scary! Poor baby. I don't want to give him those any more! He loves them so much though, I was wondering if there was an alternative that anyone would suggest…

Dexter has been chewing on a "very nice Asian blanket" that was given to me as a gift, and needless to say I was upset to see that he had made two holes in it despite me fussing him when I notice him chewing on it. However, upon examining the holes more closely, I have seen that the inner layer of the blanket appears to just be a child's quilt…that someone sewed an Asian themed layer of materiel over. It seems Dex was just trying to show me that it was a fake- an impostor! I still love the blanket though haha.

I'm considering becoming a Mary Kay consultant, so I was wondering if anyone here tried it out or knows someone well who does it and knows if it works out for them or not. It seems like a decent situation, but I found this website called PinkTruth where bunches of women complain about how they lost money and are urging women to save themselves the trouble and avoid MK at all costs. Any insight?
