Best answer:

Answer by Bunny Lady
No, do not seperate them. The older dog is showing the limits to the pups. You need to be there in case a repremand is needed but the pups need to learn that the older dog is maintaining is status as top dog. Snapping is okay it is his way of communicating a dislike of behavior. Contact a behaviorist and ask for more specific things to look for to make sure that this is just a settling in stuff and just keep an eye out when they are together but don’t keep them seperated because then they will become territorial and then you will have more problems.

Nice Pet Care photos

A few nice Pet Care images I found:

Help Dog, Bryndelyn, she needs a home…
Pet Care

Image by Beverly & Pack
This girl was once loved and lived in a home with a couple, even sleeping with them in their bed at night. The woman discovered she was pregnant and they dumped the dog at the pound, stating they did not care what happened to her. This pup would have been put to sleep tomorrow morning had a man named Ryan from Denver not made the trip all the way to Burns Flat, Oklahoma to pick her up today. She is now safe in Colorado Springs, CO. where she will be fostered until a forever home can be found.

This beautiful girl’s name is Bryndelyn. She is scared, timid, and shy, and likely really confused; first at an outdoor shelter – not understanding why, a long trip by car (fearfully ducking when passing bridges), and now a new home that’s just temporary. Add to this, she has recently had a litter of puppies.She will be spayed as soon as she settles into her new surroundings. She didn’t do anything wrong, except to have irresponsible selfish owners. Can you find it in your heart to love her and give her the real love and security she deserves? Please share this with anyone who may need a best friend and all the loving they could ever ask for!

Pictures of Finnegan who lived with me and took care of me through my 20s, 30s and into my 40s.

He was truly one of a kind.

He passed over gently on September 1, 2009 surrounded by people who loved him very much. krissisandvik.blogspot.com/2009/09/kitty-kismet.html

Why does my dog suck his blanket and whine?

Question by Linda S: Why does my dog suck his blanket and whine?
Anyone know why my dog sucks the corner of his blanket and whines? He didn’t leave his mom until 8 weeks old. He sounds so pitiful when he does this, do you think he’s sad? Sholud I take the blanket away?
He is a 6 year old german shepherd. He gets walked twice a day, fed twice a day, and goes to a couple of obedience classes, and we play plenty of games. So he’s not teething, hungry or bored. He has done it since he was a pup. Just wondered if it was similiar to a child who sucks their thumb. Wonder why he hasn’t ever grown out ot it.

Best answer:

Answer by Vendetta13
Awe..it sounds like he might have a teething/mouth problem. Maybe he likes to suck on blankets but when he does it hurts something in his mouth? No, I don’t think you should take it away. Or maybe it’s just his way of asking someone to pay attention to him?
