Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd share a few photos of my family's new addition. Our 9 week old Cav pup called Rio.
As you can see he is a tricolour and is male.
As he was raised also with cats, we had a little cat bed from a family member who gave it to us and he took to it immediately, and adores it.
So far it has taken him a good few days for him to settle into the house, but he is housetraining very well indeed, using the special mats that you can purchase from pet shops and has a large hallway with plenty of toys and space to run around.
Our only concern is that he doesnt drink any water, he sometimes takes it only if we dip our fingers in his bowl he licks it off and his urine seems to be very yellow, he also was off his food for 2 days but we think this may have been due to the worming powder and his booster at 8 weeks.
This coming Saturday he is getting his next vaccinations that will soon allow him to go outside. We have a large park next door to us and the sea and beach. My Dad is also planning to take him to the Isle of Arran and let him run along the long clean beach there.
He is a boisterous little pup and for the first few days we thought he was ruling the roost, his biting inhibition is getting better we now coax him with his nylabone as he is of course teething, we tap his nose if he does anything wrong but this is very rare. He is actually calming down considerably well and adjusting to his new surroundings.
How can we try to coax him not to bite the bottoms of trousers and shoes/slippers and not to try and bite when he is being played with?
Does anyone have any suggestions ? :?
Thank you
