Dog help-

Thanks GD and MP-

I will check with the vet about the drinking thing- he is on dry food and he will drink. It's just that he doesn't do it as often as I would think he needs to....

Last night he fell asleep curled up on my chest like a human baby- all tucked in a ball. Sweet little thing- he likes to sleep under, and I mean totally under- a small blanket.

I just love that little doggy face-those big eyes. "cuddle me, feed me, hug me!"

Yay on the new doggy!

(As long as he is peeing regularly, I wouldn't worry about how much he is drinking. Generally you only need to be worried if he goes 24 hours without peeing.)

What if they won't go 24 minutes without relieving themslevs?

I have an 8-month old Beagle who will give you no clues that she needs a potty break before going on the floor......

After she goes, she then comes and tells us she needs to go outside

LOL!

I'd have to say that if she's been checked for an infection or kidney stones; ummm...

Nope, I've got nothin'.

Other Beagle owners have told me this isn't all that unusual with this breed and that she will grow out of it with the onset of adulthood; they also tell me that her puppy like behavior will last for as long as 3 years

Oh well, she is a love and our other, much older pets(Cat-Maine Coon and Dog-Dashund/Basset mix) find her entertaining.

I have a standard poodle that is 2 1/2. He totally acts like a huge puppy.

He's also very fancy.

Are you sure about that? There are other sources of water in a house besides the water bowl.
