stella the crazy dog !
Sorry Uncle Geo :-\ Rule #3 states that pet must be member of Getbig family. The crazy Stella does not qualify :-[ I'd be voting for her myself :-* She's just adorable. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue posting pics of your little furry neice ;D
Had to post this one. I thought it was a total classic.
good news
got a call from my sister and apperantly stella crapped on an expensive persian throw rug last night and (long story short) I'm picking up stella tonight because my sister no longer wants or can handle her
vote stella for dog of the month !!!
Had to post this one. I thought it was a total classic.
Classic... dogs are for kids. No child should ever grow up without a pet dog or cat or both!
How are you supposed to vote when they are ALL soooo cute? :-\
I'm leaning towards chaos b/c I LOVE him lol, but I am having a hard time deciding. When is the deadline?
I will have to wait till all entries have been submitted, but it's a hard decision.
I will have to wait till all entries have been submitted, but it's a hard decision.
Reese awaits your vote ;D
I like Chaos but i have to nominate my Reese!
So far we have:
Contestants Votes
Princess L's "Scout" 2 (Princess L, Knny187)
Sincitysmallguy's "Chaos" 1 (Sincitysmallguy)
Wood's "Reese" 1 (Wood)
Deadline will be EOD (Pacific Time) 8/1/07
Still can use more nominee's & votes
Scout is a very nice looking pup. Princess how old is he.
He is ~~almost 1 year (I'll have to assign an official birth date to him for celebration purposes). Humane society said somewhere around August 11th.
Chaos is a cutie, esp. in the picture of him sitting in the car seat ;D
How did Reese get his name? That was one of the names I was considering for Scout ~ Reese or Reeses because he looked like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ;D
Please let me clarify. I have not cast my vote yet. I only put in my nomination. ;)
Where are all the nominations? Can a nominator nominate more than one nominee?
He is ~~almost 1 year (I'll have to assign an official birth date to him for celebration purposes). Humane society said somewhere around August 11th.
I got him from a local shelter, but he was a "relo" from an over crowded shelter in another state (TN). There were no parental records on him so we don't know for sure his mix. Anyone care to guess :-\ He weighs exactly 39.5 pounds. I think he must have some "coonhound" in him because he's somewhat nocternal. 8) He's a lazy slug all day, unless he's at doggie daycare, but when the sun goes down, he does laps around the yard.
How did Reese get his name? That was one of the names I was considering for Scout ~ Reese or Reeses because he looked like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ;D
Yep, it's Reese like a Peanut Butter cup, we were having difficulty deciding on a name and one of my wife's co-workers said her dog's name was Snickers so we immediately settled on Reese since i'm such a peanut butter fan ;D
All great lookin dogs.................... ....gotta show love for the Las Vegas boy though
Chaos gets my vote
8)
Can a nominator nominate more than one nominee?
[/color]
How are you supposed to vote when they are ALL soooo cute? :-\I agree. I kind of feel badly voting for one over the others but I will vote for chaos until he wins. Looks like sincitysmallguy would be good for submitting lots of puppy pics :)
it's a hard decision.
I would say yes.I agree. I kind of feel badly voting for one over the others but I will vote for chaos until he wins. Looks like sincitysmallguy would be good for submitting lots of puppy pics :)
I would say yes.
As much as I don't want to hurt any pups' feelings cuz they are all so cute :-[, I have to submit a vote.
I'm sorry Stella but rule #4 of the dog/cat of the month rules thread clearly says :1 vote per account!
So people you can vote only ones!
:-[ ;DAwww! My vote will be for REese next month :)
:-[ ;D
By "nominate" I'm pretty sure Princess L meant:
"To propose as a possible candidate...." but I could be wrong.
So we could nominate several but vote only for one.
Awwww, now you are making me feel bad!! :-[ :'(
Awwww, now you are making me feel bad!! :-[ :'(

The wife thought I was being a lil crazy. I told her I promised you a picture. She was a little jeaoulus when she saw your pics.. :o :o haha. (she wants to know what you do for your legs) ??? ??? Well guys it's been a crazy week with it being my birthday yesterday but I will get some more pics up after wensday, work late tonight then I have school 2morrow. So later this week more pics.
Be sure to tell your wife how much I appreciate the pups' pics and especially their support! Support from pups like chaos and chucka is what really keeps me going when things get rough! ;D
OH, and check out my glute/lower body training thread on the Women's Training/Female Bodybuilding Board:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=156308.0
That thread sums up most of my leg and lower body work and has some good info in it. There are several training threads on that board, so be sure to have your wife check them out, and feel free to post any training info and/or questions (I know, shameless plug for the FBB board ;D).
OH YEAH, Happy Birthday too!! I got so wrapped up in your cute pups that I forgot to wish you a happy birthday! :)
Thanks alot Rip. Apprecitate the birthday wishes from you and Flower. Yall are some of my favorite on this site.. KENNY TO. Yeah Rip that was a pretty shameful plug.. haha it's ok. I will let the wife check that out. She doesnt post on here thank god, cause if she did I woudn't get a chance.
Rip anytime you need a pick me up let me know, I will send you a picture. I will hopefully have these two banging out pups in about 8 months. So if anyone wants one let me know ;D ;D (That's my shameless plug for my pups)
The wife is having a hard time sleeping with both of these beasts on the bed. It was okay with one but with two it seems there isnt any room to move. I just keep thinking how bad it is going to be when they both are full grown. We have a Cal. King to. So I am thinking we are going to have to have a custom bed made. I can't deal with her bitching and I will not make my boys sleep on the floor. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D SPOILED TO SAY THE LEAST.....
wow....what did I do?
;)
You are mod of the second best board on GB. ;D
OH, and haha the Cal King is the biggest bed you can get...you're gonna have to get another adjoining bed just for the dogs! Spoiled rotten...I love it! :D
2nd best?
what's first?

(or them eating my snacks I keep in the bedroom :-X)[/color]licorice :P red=green :o ;D
licorice :P red=green :o ;D
;D The first thing Briona does if she gets upstairs it jumps on the bed looking for food. And Tad, who does get to sleep with me sometimes, becomes a 4 legged vacuum cleaner and won't go to sleep till he has snorkled the whole bed.
that's bad - I am teh slob. :(
Okay- more Chaos pics!! ;D
That would be the FBB Board. Clearly you have not spent enough time there! :P

My birthday is tomorrow, the 15th ;)
can Chuka be entered into next months contest?? I'm not sure he has been around long enough to be eligible.
Oh and I am pretty laid back, unless you take my toys >:(
hahahaa, awesome pups, SinCity, are they going to be huge or medium like they should be?
Happy birthday bud, mine was Monday... These dogs will be far from normal. Chucka will be a guranteed monster.. He came from this site.. www.camelotpitbulls.com and Chaos should push the scale close to the 100 lb mark. We shall see how big they get...wow, I got a couple small ones, 50lbs. I have to put one down tomorrow, she has cancer and I don't want to keep going through the surgerys, so........ :'( she's almost 9 and her sister has been with her since birth, she's going to have a tough time.

This sucks.
yeah we talked to the vet already, over the last week she has started to wimper when she gets up and she has ripped a hole in her side that gets bigger daily. We already had one surgery done about 8 months ago. We went throught the same situation with my wifes pit several years ago, except she had three surgerys before we put her down. We vowed then we would not put another one of our dogs through that much stress, just to extend their lives a few months. It caused some guilt.
WAIT
Do you have to do this tomorrow? :'( :'( :'(
Is she in pain?
I'm just throwing this out there - I could be way off base, but...
It might be easier on her sister if she "witnesses" the passing :-\
Can your vet perform the euthanasia at your home? Most will do that. I am not suggesting you take the sister with you to the vet's...
Thanks guys, but this thread is about Chaos dog of the month, so let's keep it chipper ;D
He's quite the ladies dog from what I see in this thread, SinCity may have to stud him out ;)
My birthday is tomorrow, the 15th ;)I knew that :)
I promise tonight more pics... Any requests on pics.. Give me some ideas and I will send them over... Chaos sorry to hear about your loss. Chaos is quite the ladies man, but men love him to? I plan on studding him and Chuka out. There are just certain stipulations that go with both of them. I refuse to just irresponsibly breed pits, because they end up as strays and in a shelter.. One of my stipulations is that I have a say in who the pups are sold to. Plus the fee's are gonna be for serious people only. $500 for Chaos and $700 for Chuka.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate...... 8)
Are health checks going to be done on the dogs before studding? What about conformation? Will a judge or other reputable/knowledgeable person of the breed be looking at them? Will the puppies they produce be sold with limited registrations or full registrations? I think you are jumping the gun on deciding if they should be bred and if so, stud fees. Wait til they mature, pass all health checks/tests, conformation, and temperament assessments as adults, THEN decide. And seriously consider a limited registration clause, spay/neuter contract with the bitch's owner for all or some of the puppies, because once you breed them, YOU are responsible for all the future puppies resulting from their offspring and those offspring, and so on.
I figured you are putting some thought into it, just wanted to get in word for responsible breeding. ;) Thanks for not taking my post personal. :)
The look on chaos's face in those pics is just priceless!!! He's very expressive....and ADORABLE!!!Totally. There is a comment you can make (as Chaos) in every shot, lol. :D
:)
I like the sleeping one. :D
I like picture number 103. Looks like he's saying "get that damn thing outta my face"
I like picture number 103. Looks like he's saying "get that damn thing outta my face"
Yep, that's the one LOL. Can someone turn it right-side up?
I feel blessed to say that's my lil(BIG) guy... He's daddy's boy..
NO, he's MINE!! >:(
RIP I will make you a deal, this has to be on the down low. He can be our dog... We will just cut out the wife.... :-X :-X :-X :-XI see that! :o

relax. I'm busy with ripitupbaby ;) :-*
I'd call for a second opinion now.
Personally.....don't wait to long. BTW....if for any reason you doubt your Vet....take him in to get a second opinion somewhere else. Maybe they over looked something.
He has been throwing up since Sunday.... Sunday night it was evey hour or so.. We kept a wastebasket next to the bed for him... Then We took him in yesterday they did a parvo check it was neggative.. The vet said not to feed him and to wait 24 hours to give him water or food... He still wouldnt eat or drink today... Plus he has been very depressed or sad looking and doesnt move... Today he has started puking again and still has no life.. I am leaving work in 15 minutes and gonna go have barrium xrays done... I don't know what to do.. I am really stressing as Chaos is acting like he wants to die..... FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone talks to Vet please tell him I PMed him my number and would like to get an idea of what I should ask the vet up here to do...
Hey Sin, sorry to hear Chaos is still feeling poorly. :(
Did they do blood work? When Addie had a blockage they were thinking it could of been Addison's because some of he blood work pointed to Addison's. She was throwing up, no diarrhea, her stomach palpated with no discomfort, but she was depressed and not eating. They opened her up because she wasn't a clear case for Addison's or an obstruction and it turns out it was an obstruction. She got the "humps of water" too, looked like a funky camel!!
I hope he is feeling better today, please keep us informed.
Damn dude, that's awful. Hopefully the vet will be able to isolate the problem. ???
Yeah I just took him out and he doesnt have diarehaa but a small stream of blood came out.. I am really starting to worry. At 8 am when they open I will be demanding an x-ray... I dont know what else it could be....
Or she will have a fucking law suit against her and her office for not doing a fucking thing but giving my dog water..... I am seriously about to walk up in there and fuck the whole place up... This would be like a doctor misdiagnosing my child.... He hasn't gotten any better... They are just putting fucking band-aids over the cut.... It's starting to piss me off. Can you file malpractice on a Vet??????
Been there, done that...not worth the time and money but you may get your pound of flesh if they get bad press.Let's pray it doesn't go that route.
Let's pray it doesn't go that route.
PARVAID Fedex it overnight!!Won't the vet have this?

http://www.ambertech.com/parv/Parvo_Information_Self_Help_Guide.pdf (http://www.ambertech.com/parv/Parvo_Information_Self_Help_Guide.pdf)
Won't the vet have this?
I called the Emergency Vet, they are saying they would rule him as Parvo possitve without even seeing him.. They said to return to the vet I have been seeing. They said to just give him supportive treatment, ie hydration and such. They said it's just a waiting game... F*CK I am going crazy.. they said it could take up to a week but if he beats it, it won't ever be a problem again.. Now I just have to keep a close eye on Chucka...
Sorry bro, time to fire your vet and get a new one, after all its your dog and your footin the bill
With all the information Vet said it sounded like she was doing what is needed.. Not much else they can do for Parvo other then hydrate and give him anit-biotics.. I hope they get him back on his feet. I am going to order some of that stuff that Flower recomended as well. keep Chucka from getting sick. I just found out that within a mile of our new house they have had 15 other parvo cases in the last year and a half... So looks like we bought a shitty house... Any one know of a good cleaner to take shit out of the carpet.. I guess Chaos let loose in front of the guest bathroom and we have off white carpet :o :o :o :o :o
Nature's Miracle [/color]Is this a soap? I think I missed the link?
:)
Is this a soap? I think I missed the link?
Sin is going to need something that will kill the virus. On the other info I gave him there was a link to something he could use.
I personally have put Nature's Miracle in the rug cleaner because it has the enzymes dudes in it that like biological waste products (urine, vomit, feces). Works good and is safe!! You can do it full strength or do it diluted.
I buy it by the gallon. :P
:)
Parvo is a man made mutated virus!!
Man = parasite of the Earth!!

So here is the update, yesterday when I got home Chaos was not doing any better... I switched vets and took him to a Critical care unit. He has been there over night and will stay until tuesday. He was almost dead or pretty close to it.. We went and saw him today and he is doing much better. He was standing and wagging his tail and even gave me kisses. Something that he hasn't done for almost a week. Chucka is doing better as well. He is here at the house and on a soothing diet for his stomach. hamburger and rice. THis new Vet team is awesome and I really trust them. Forget the other one, I should've called her shit long ago. They do not have Parvo a second test was performed and it came back neggative. They didn't know for sure what was wrong with Chaos, his white blood cell count was low and he was very dehydrated. They took X-rays finally a vet who fucking does what I ask.. Nothing that is a blockage. He even did Barrium upon my request. We found out that they both had worms as Chucka puked up a worm last night... The carpets are cleaned and the rug doctor is great..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Other then that the dogs are on a healthy recovery. The vet believes it is just a virus or parasite or something and he says that they should be good by Monday. When Chaos comes home I will post some pics. But thanks again to all who were concerned and praying for us... He looked so much better today. It is totally a blessing that he is getting better....
glad to hear you switched.
Honestly...if I don't like what I hear right from the start...I'm out the door.
Besides....
I think a second opinion is always necessary with something this important

Thank you so much for this update SinCity. Please give Chaos and Chucka lots of kisses from us all :) Looking forward to pics of both boys :D
Now to the worst part of the story... Chucka is now in a critical unit as well. He is only going to be kept for 12 hours, we cant afford the 1,000 dollars that they want for 24 hours... Chucka is having the same symptoms as Chaos. The ER vet says that he doubts that there is a blockage with him as well. So we are praying that Chuka will be okayuntil Tuesday morning here with us... The vet is closed until then. He is however supposed to call us, so I am going to try to get Chucka in with his tomorrow.
Sorry to bring better news with horribel news. This is starting to put a strain on my family. Let's hope that things get better. Thanks for everyones support.
Well okay and now I update with a turn for the worst, but we are correcting it in a sense. Chaos is doing good still, the Vet called said that he is taking fluids well and is moving around. He is however still not eating and throwing up when force feed. So I brought up the fact that no X-rays had been done and that I was willing to waste money. It seems that there is something keeping the barrium in his stomach...fuck dude that sucks, I hope it all ends well for Chaos and Chuka. What a pisspoor way to spend the last couple of weeks.

in all seriousness that sucks dude,I know it must be a pretty dark time for ya.
I know the feelin !
We will see what happens at 8 in the morning when we pick up Chucka.
Well so Chucka is stable to say the least, still minor vomiting and a lil puking. He is in his dog house in the kennel with a cone until 7 tonight when we take him back to the vet for some more fluids. Then at 8 in the morning he takes a ride in the truck to the vet hospital where Chaos is for some better help. They might need surgery if they both have blockages. I guess we will wait until in the morning and find out. There is not much more that we will know until tomorrow when they both get seen by the vet who has some brains.....SinCity, so sorry you are all going through this.....
:-\
That would be really odd that they both have blockages? Unless they both happened to eat part of the same item?
Addie just had regular Xrays for her suspected (and correct) blockage. It showed that gas was backed up in her, and the one taken the next day showed the gas still there so it was a pretty good indicator of a blockage. Her intestines were still healthy in her case, so the blockage was probably not 100%, a small amount of stuff could pass, so she did not lose any of her intestines, a BIG concern with obstructions.
At this point, if they suspect an obstruction they should go in and find out!!
What blood work has been done and what does it show?
Any possibility of a poisoning or chemical ingestion?
That is horrible!!!! :o Not a big deal? His body is obviously dealing with something else and it is a big deal that is also has to expend energy on trying to heal this while dealing with whatever else is going on!!
That IS a big deal!! It will affect him overall, at the very minimum slow down his recovery and at the very worst impede it completely.
I would call up the original vet and make them aware of what has transpired and make them aware you make be taking action against them but are waiting for the final outcome of this.
Glad to hear that Chuka is doing good and Chaos is doing better.
Don't do any damage to the clinic though, other animals could get hurt.
Who would you contact about suing a vet...
get a statement from the second vet
The funny thing is the Vet kept hinting that it was cause by the other Vet.
the mere mention of a court action combined with a statement from the second vet when you serve the emergency vet with a subpoena may get a chunk off the bill just so the emergency vet doesn't have to take the time (and time is money) to appear in court
It's not the ER Vet that I am wanting to sue. It's the original Vet that just kep sending Chaos home with us everyday. She is also the one responsible for giving Chaos the fluids that rotted his side off. Or so it seems. She took us for 400-500 dollars and didn't do shit in my opinion. I just don't know where to start. I don't want to call her and talk quite yet cause I will freak out on her.. I don't think that she deserves her license. She didn't do a fucking thing to help my dog. She actually made him sicker..Sin, focus on getting your babies healthy again. You will have plenty of time to go after the vet when your two darlings are home and healthy.
I just don't know where to start.
the mere mention of a court action combined with a statement from the second vet when you serve the emergency vet with a subpoena may get a chunk off the bill just so the emergency vet doesn't have to take the time (and time is money) to appear in court
Vet can you call me on the work number I had sent over to you. If you get a second... Thank you very much.
There never has been a final. They just know what made Chaos better.... Fluids (IV) anti-vomiting and anti-biodics... Other then that no final word. His white blood cells were low. Other then that no idea, no Parvo, no blockage..??????
I did. The vet wasn't to sure about it being a possibility. He didn't test for it, but he said he didn't think that salmonella would show up with low white blood cell counts. He stated he believed it was more of a virus..??? Or GI tract infection..
Possibly an animal they might have killed in the back yard.. That is the only thing that I can guess. But I looked under the deck the only place that isn't visible and I didn't find anything???
Damn straigh I can't sleep very well at night with out their big asses on the bed. I can however move but after 4 moths of not being able to it doesn't fill right... I can't wait to just be able to lay down and watch a movie and have them all in my way... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DWe are awaiting that for you Sin. :)
The bottom line is the dogs are getting better and they are coming home.
POOR BABIES.
I am so glad to hear that they are getting better and coming home though.
:)
Chaos was wondering where the hell you had been Rip he thought you forgot about him. ;) Yeah he should be home soon. I am calling in about 15 minutes to talk to the vet and see what he says.. Ill post an update after that.
The thing is that it may be too late at this point to diagnose salmonella because he's getting better. Culture requres paired fecal cultures seperated by at least 12, ideally 24 hours. The question is where did they get exposure to it.....
Their kibble? Kibble has caused a lot of deaths and problems because of being tainted and contaminated. Since both dogs came down with something I would look into the food being a possible source of the problem. :-\

We havent changed their food in quite a while. Has pedigree had a recall.
Well Chaos is coming home today. He will have a drain tube in place.. But that comes out on Friday and Chucka is coming home tomorrow if things go as planned. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Vet I found out that there was no dextrose injected, the other Vet is saying that it was sodium chloride, Serinia ( a new anti vomiting drug) b-12 and Penacilin. What would've caused the skin to be cut off from that any ideas.
I guess technically you could get salmonella (or e.coli) from a knucklebone type chew too.
But just because a dog tests positive for salmonella doesn't mean they are having a problem with it. Chances are if you tested my dogs feces over time they would probably test positive for salmonella. The same has been shown with kibble dogs. They have done raw diet studies with big cats that showed salmonella all over and none of the cats had a problem. Salmonella is a bigger hazard to people than animals.
Anti raw people have loved to show these studies pointing out the testing of positive for salmonella. They conveniently leave out the conclusions, however, that the animals were fine, and that people should practice proper handling and clean up for themselves.
The big salmonella scare!! ::) Unless you are going to pick up dog shit with your hands and then lick your fingers :-X, and if you can manage to properly handle meat for your family, it is not usually a problem. I say usually because if their is a severely immunocompromised person in the household extra precautions should be taken.
LOL. I've had salmonella. Its not a fun disease. You feel like you are shitting your life out your asshole and then you smell it and puke what's left.

I don't want to take the thunder for Reese being dog of the month for september...so I changed this topic as a get well thread for Chaos.
I really would like to keep this pinned till he & Chucka are back on their paws 100%
Chaos is back at the vet.. We left him overnight as he had a fluid build up at the bottom of his tummy.. Had to have a drain tube put back in.. We left him overnight, so the Vet could check on him this morning. Chucka is back to be being crazy and doing his thing.. We will get chaos back tonight I hope... this shit is getting to be to damn long. i just want to be able to take them both for a walk...
It sounds like you are getting closer to that point Sin. Hang in there!!
And give those dogs more kisses from me. My kisses have healing powers!
:-* :-* :-*
Thanks for the update Sin. Love to Chaos and Chucka :)

They are both just adorable! Thanks for sharing w/us.....and tell Chaos he looks cool w/his bandana ;D
They are sooooooo cute Sin.
We need to get Rocky a friend.
I do love them to death.. Chucka has a hard head and pisses me off sometimes. But they both listen and are good boys so I cant complain.. I got lucky with the two of them.. I would die if something happened to them./I hear ya. I am sure we all feel the same way about our pets...well, family :)
Well....looks like the guys are back on their paws.
SOOOOO glad the boys are back up on their paws and doing well. I will continue to vote for Chucka until he wins POM. ;D
:-* :-* :-*
I will update with pictures of the boys once Chucka is voted in for dog of the month.
Yeah I am trying not to take to many pics while Chaos is still scarred up but his hair is growing fast by next month it will all be back and you will get lots of pics of both.
Addie is challenging Chaos to a "tube off" ;D (tying to find some humor in a not so funny situation for either of them :( )
I have posted pics of Addies saga, so let's see pics of Chaos'!!
Hey Sin. I was wanting to get another pit to compliment Berlin, who is now just over 30+ lbs. Is it absolutely necessary to keep them seperated when I or my wife are away? And if so, how long? I wouldn't want the dogs to start tearing into each other. In addition, Berlin is just over 4 months old, when would the best time be to get a 2nd Pit? I'm greatly worried in obtaining a 7-8 week old puppy for fear that Berlin might get a bit overexcited and hurt him. At the same time, I'm a tad worried about obtaining a full-grown Pit in worries over him possibly harming Berlin.
It seems your dogs(they look damn nice, btw...what bloodline is Chucka, and how large do you expect him to get?) get along, do you leave them alone when unsupervised?
Thanks.
As much as I give flower shit about alot of different issues, I would not call her dogs "unstable". She may have to put the little one away for obvious reasons because the risk of injury is so prevalent but in any case where you have two dogs of the same size and since they may not get along or something, you have to separate them...you need to seek professional help because there is problems from the foundation on up in the household.
I don't want to misinterpret what you said - are you saying because I have a toy dog with giant dogs I may have to keep them separate for his safety? I suppose when the toy is a puppy that is a good idea, and I did that until I was sure all would be fine. And when Addie was introduced she was kept separate when I was not home until I was sure everyone was integrated fine, which didn't take that long in either case. Longer in Tad's because he was getting house trained also so didn't have free run of the downstairs.
I think in any case it is wise to have supervised interaction until it is certain that no problems will break out. That would depend on the individual dogs. While my dogs (except for Addie) don't take to strange dogs right off, they are not dog aggressive and would walk away if they did not want to interact with the new dog. So individual personalities would be a big part.
I've heard that if you get 2 puppies around the same time they will bond to each other more than to you? I've never had 2 puppies at the same time, Bri and Emmett are the closest, 6 months apart, I wouldn't want to puppies at the same time! oh boy! ;D

Experts can say what they say and yadda yadda yadda here is your proof. Two puppies do fine with each other. This is just taken about 5 minutes ago...Chucka usually doesnt get on the bed until about 4 in the morning the rest of the night he sleeps on the floor. These guys love each other and be kissing each other like there queer.
a few more
edit: I posted a response but deleted it. Good luck with whatever you choose to do JBGRAY.
PS - I am glad Chaos and Chucka are doing well :)
