    $375 for a neutering operation?!

    The vet told me she definitely feels them. She's been checking his testicles each time we go in, and she's said that they've slowly been coming down more and more. Last time I was in, she said they're low enough to have him neutered, but I don't think they've descended fully, merely because I...

    $375 for a neutering operation?!

    I think I've pretty much settled to have it done at the local SPCA/PETA clinic. Problem is that they will only do it if the testicles are distended. So when would I know whether Max's will descend or not? Is there some kind of timetable I can use or something? -Tim

    $375 for a neutering operation?!

    Sorry for the slow response, but my internet's been down all afternoon. I never said I was planning on neutering him now. Personally, I want to wait for them to descend. I know how invasive it can be to go in there and have to find them if they haven't dropped yet. As far as what's...

    $375 for a neutering operation?!

    So Max had a vet appt late last month, and the vet says he can get neutered at any time. His testicles haven't distended yet, but she says they can still do the operation. I ask how much it'll be, and they tell me it'd cost $375! And when I asked, they said it wouldn't be any less when his...

    Creapy Jazz

    Max is a bathroom dog, too. He'll follow me in whenever I go, and he sits in the bathroom with my mom in the morning when she's showering and putting on her makeup and whatnot. If we don't let him in, he sits at the door and cries. -Tim

    Home alone?

    Max is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and weighs about 13 pounds. I don't know what it is, but some nights he holds it fine, others he doesn't. He may go potty on the papers twice out of a week, so it's not frequent. There are just some times, even during the day, when he can't hold it for some...

    Home alone?

    My puppy is 5 months old, we've had him since he was 3 months old, and he's always had free range of my room at night to sleep. I leave papers on the floor because he still can't hold it all night, every night. During the day, however, if I leave the house, he is crated. There are too many...

    Great First Night!

    Sounds like a great puppy you have there. I remember when I first got my pup, I could barely sleep at all. I wish mine would let me sleep till 9am, but instead he wakes me up at 5am. :mad: -Tim

    Getting Another Puppy

    In defense of the OP, he said he wasn't looking for those breeds because his mom didn't like them, and his mom said they're unpredictable. He didn't say that he didn't like those breeds. Even though, +1 to what Sizzle said. I've been around all kinds of dogs, and the worst ones with me have...

    Getting Another Puppy

    Bear in mind that puppies bite a lot as a part of playing. Maybe the two just need some more time together to sort things out between them. It could also be that Zane is just jealous because you're giving the other puppy attention, and not Zane. I know my puppy gets that way with me if I'm...

    Getting Another Puppy

    Just because a dog is of a certain breed doesn't guarantee the temperment of that dog. Each dog is unique in how it will react with other dogs/humans/animals. While there may be some breeds that are more prone to aggressiveness, every dog has the capacity to be aggressive to some degree or...

    When to start feeding adult food?

    Great, I was hoping it'd be a while longer before I had to switch - I've still got several months of puppy food left. Thanks for the quick reply. -Tim

    When to start feeding adult food?

    Max is going to be 5 months old next week. He's already lost many of his baby teeth, and is growing in his adult teeth rapidly. His coat is even changing colors what seems like every day. All of this growing up has made me wonder: when do I start feeding him adult food? And when I make the...

    When Corgis attack *pic heavy*

    True that. He's about as sure of himself as can be. And spoiled rotten at that. And candy? It depends on what kind. I might let him go for a big bar of Hershey's dark chocolate. :D :rofl1:

    When Corgis attack *pic heavy*

    Thanks for all the replies. Max's ego loves them :D And yes, he's definitely growing up. We just went to the vet yesterday for his last shots, and he's gained 4 pounds. He's getting more of his adult coat in, and his colors are showing to be very distinct. -Tim

    Looking for a bit of advice..

    Rewarding your dog for going potty is definitely a good thing. It helps them associate going potty outside with a reward, and makes them want to potty outside. As far as the "not giving affection unless your dog is in a calm-submissive state"..... I think that's bogus. I give my dog...

    Looking for a bit of advice..

    I didn't even think about shots. If you can manage to get him outside when/where there are no other dogs around, try that. My pup has a few more shots to go, and I just take him outside where no other dogs go. It can be tricky at times, as we live in an apartment complex with lots of dogs...

    Looking for a bit of advice..

    I got my puppy at 11 weeks, and started housetraining him right away. If I were you, I most definitely would not encourage your pup to go potty inside his crate, as this will encourage bad habits. One of the purposes of the crate is to teach your puppy that he can hold it when he has to go...
