Some pics of Kimmy at home....she's grown so much...and looking more adorable. When I got her at 8 weeks, she looks like a big big rat! tongue.gif

Took away the rug from her but she seems to be addicted to it...love chewing on the edges altho got many chewable toys!

That's how my toilet looks like after coming home yesterday.

Just wanted to know how long you guys take to bond with your puppy/dog??

I am just not feeling it for my puppy...the pressure is quite oppressing and I'm not enjoying my time with her.

Errm...why are you feeling pressure? If it's about the toilet training thing, as everyone also faced it before, it takes time and lots of patience. smile.gif I'm not too sure about you, but were you too hasty in purchasing Kimmy? As in, you just bought her because she was available? Did you feel sort of like a 'connection' when you first saw Kimmy? Yeah, I know it sounds very cliched and kinda lame, but I honestly felt that when I first saw Scottie...I dunno, probably I'm too into all this mojo stuff, but it felt so right when I saw him and decided to get him (at the time, I was not looking for a pet. At all.). Sure, we hit a few bumps along the way in training and what not, but I still think he's my darling boy smile.gif

Not judging you about this though. Everyone has the right to buy whichever pet they want. Perhaps you just need more time playing with her? Hang around her more often, and observe her little quirks and stuff...I'm sure you'll be falling in love again soon wink.gif
*
Its not about the toilet training. I removed all the rugs in the house and replace it with pee wee pads...and she seems to do it there. I don't know why I feel oppressed. I don't look forward to going home...in fact, I'm scare to go home. When she looks at u with tat big eyes of her, u feel kesian. I tried to spend as much time with her, but going 2work is always a pain, cos she'll look at u wif those eyes, and ...... cry.gif

I spend half an hr every morning smuggling her out to walk her....then play wif her for another 10 mins....put her into the toilet before I go to work. She's getting more reluctant to go into the toilet now.

Then when i get home, I fed her, play with her some more...can't take her out in the evening...

Yes, probably I was too hasty at purchasing Kimmy. I did all the reseach, watch all the training stuff....and thought I was ready. Maybe I'm just not a dog lover?

When she was away, I miss her. When she's home, I feel high level of anxiety. I am a confused bugger!

Could it be that you feel tired after work, and when you come home, you have to take care of a new pup as well? It's still quite early to tell that you do or not like dogs, I think..Kimmy has only been at your house for just a short while only, yes? Maybe after a while you've spent some time training, playing with her, and getting to know her personality more, you'll feel different...try bringing her out to socialize by going to gatherings and obedience classes..she will tire out more easily, plus you get to know more ppl and learn a little more on caring for your pup. Another plus would be after you've done your obedience classes, you pup would have probably known a few basic commands and you would have an easier time letting her know what you want her to do smile.gif

The feeling came stronger after the trial puppy obedience class!! hahaha....

She's fighting me every way. Its very tiring and depressing for me.

Well, it's very normal for a puppy to not want to do anything in the first class...your trainer would have helped you a little with that smile.gif After your first few lessons, you would be able to get the gist of how to handle your pup.
My trainer did...the first time Scottie was on leash, he just sat there and wouldn't budge, no matter how I coaxed him with a treat. But after my trainer took the leash, she just walked confidently forward and called out his name in a very cheerful manner (plus some treats) and he followed her by the side...so cute! haha!

First time classes are no real judge for a good obedience class, in my opinion smile.gif
*
Not sure why I am feeling that way I do as well. I just feel so dun wan 2b in this situation....and the feeling of "what the hell have i gotten myself into??"

Taking her to the vet tis evening cos she got rashes all over her belly...poor thing. Dun know if its the grass or after the grooming?? So things aren't looking so good! Maybe I'm being melodramatic but its the way i'm feeling right now.

Pups tend to easily get rashes and stuff...especially for Min. Schnauzers. I remember when Scottie was small, he's got quite a few problems. I've been sending him to the vet so frequently during that phase that I think the whole clinic recognises me already laugh.gif

Hmm...hormone imbalance maybe? laugh.gif No worries la...sometimes I also feel like that when things are not going smoothly. Give it some time, and not over analyze things. The learning curve for a wee pup is quite long so we all have to be patient..smile.gif But after they start getting the concept of learning, you'll feel very proud that you stuck to it wink.gif

Thanks...I guess since i live alone, the lack of family support structure also makes it very very daunting!

Ya...I have to come to terms that i'm probably not suited to have dog aka pet...as least now i know. Its my first and last time I guess. I don't mind letting her go at cost (RM1.3k) to a good home with all her toys and stuff. Trust me, she gots lots!! Hopefully she's not alone most of the time and got other doggies to play wif.

The problem is probably this "Don’t be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up as punishment. I am not capable of understanding why I am being locked up. I only know I have been rejected. You have your work, entertainment and friends. I only have you." Especially, the "I only have you".

I can't take those eyes looking at you; accusing you, pleading with you....

She can't let me out of her sight....even though she is dog tired....the minute I go to the kitchen, or toilet, she'll follow....refused to sleep...altho couldn't keep her eyes open oredi. It puts pressure on me....

I feel that it's so cute when the puppy follows you around...not all pups do that. Kenji (my sister's Chihuahua) is like a lone ranger...he doesn't like to follow us around, preferring to do his own thing. But Scottie would drop whatever he's doing (even if he's chewing his favourite toy or sleeping) and follow me. Sometimes I feel bad for him, coz he would literally jump up and follow me when he hears me get up (he likes to sleep / sit just at my feet so whenever I get up, he knows... unsure.gif ) so what I do now if I don't want him to follow, I ask him to stay where he is. Usually he will stay, but if he wants to, he'll just follow me regardless...haha! My mom says I have a very manja male dog...sometimes she even doubts that he is male  doh.gif
P/S: I don't think when she looks at you, she is accusing you...rather, she just wants you to play or give her a hug. Not really pressure, in my opinion. I don't think she can help looking at you that way...it's just the way they communicate. Letting her go just because of that is not really a good excuse, in my opinion
*
Its not her problem. Its mine. I can't take that neediness...

Excuse or not, I'm becoming into a emotional basket case....I dread going home...I dread facing her...I dread her looking at me like that....

isn't this a happy thing? because she's trying to build a bond with you that you are her master. and it's you that she can depend and relate to, thats why she's always following you, wanting to be with you.

but really, if you think you're not ready for the dog. just let her go to someone who you think can provide her with a better environment.

no point keeping her and making both your life's miserable. maybe ur just not ready to have a dog now. sorry for being direct, but base on all of your posts. i think you've already pretty much made your decision.

no hard feelings yah. just a suggestion for the better good of you and kimmy.

Thank you! I oso dun understand why it isn't a happy thing???!!!! When I read those doggie blogs, its such a happy experience...etc, etc...and I don't understand why I dun feel it??!!

because u r not ready for that/.....having a dog is different from having other type of pets like hamster. dog's average life span 10 - 15 years ...so before u got ur ms tat time, u shld think it deeply. what had done is done, now wat we can do is just look for a new home for ur ms....only 4 mths old rite??i guessed u having ur ms about 1.5 mths ago...

by the way, what the reason to letting go ur pup??
because he look at u one kind??peepoo everywhere???
*
The reason is me I guess. She's jsut like any normal puppy...one strange thing is that she will not go toilet until I come home....dun know how she holds its for at least 12 hrs!!???? She likes to do it on tiles....and fabric. Although I tried putting the tray and newspaper nxt to her with her pee stains, she'll refused to do it there. Once I caught almost poo-ing, shove the tray under her, she stopped, tahan until next morning. She also do submissive peeing or pee when she gets excited...does that every morning when she sees me and when I come home.

If she's taken out 3x a day, morning, mid noon and evening, well, she wont do it in the hse. Of course still got accident. Last evening took her to the vet, got so excited she peed oredi, but went home still peed again. Best suited in a home where there are constantly people around her, so she doesn't gets to go crazy excited everytime. If leave alone for a few hours, she's doesnt get that excitable.

She's qutie hyperactive....will go kinda crazy excited when comes in contact with people...last Sunday took her for a walk after grooming, saw some Mat Sallehs who come say hello and petted her, and she wanted to follow them home...literally running after them. I would say she's attention-addict. However, she not demanding, will just sit quietly and look at you with her big big puppy sad eyes until u play with her. Whines very sadly whenever I go to work! ALtho tried distracting her with her fav toys and food...doesn't work. THe minute i'm out of sight....she'll goes... Hopefully she stops after a while. Else, I'll get complains from the neighbour.

If you put her in her travelling crate, she will stick her face at the door and look at you...can go on for at least 1.5hrs....before she goes to sleep. Refused even her most fav - treats!!!

She'll tongue (aka kiss) and mouth (aka nibble) you...

Loves to have her belly rubbed, while at the same time trying to "bite" you.

Not really interested in toys...

Loves to chew.. But will lose interest in her chewy toys....so got to rotate them.

Easily trained cos highly motivated by food. Learned sit, down, roll over, stay...now trying to get her to heel on the left side....not much success...cos she likes to walk on the inside...she scares to walk on the outside. Now learnign to stay before I allow her to eat. But still got to work on the length of time. Sometimes still doesn't understand the words until its repeated a few times.

Currently, having ear infection and pus like infection on her belly. The pus like infection on her belly, was suspected due to her going to the grass on Sun for puppy obedience class...it just spreads overnite...gave me a heartattack. Went to the vet last nite, gave her antibiotic and inflammatory jabs...n medicines. She got no problem hving those medicines mixed in her kibbles. In fact, she'll eat everything...which is why needs to constantly supervise her. Found her chewing on dry leaves and grass on Sun. Oso, she found a pcs of broken ceramic somewhere in my living room, luckily got her in time, gave me another heartattack then!!

Taken for daily morning walk....you must brisk walk, else she'll sniff and eats everything and anything. She's getting use to the leash...hates it and loves bitting it....

Do you have any photos of your baby?


Her pics before and after grooming...I think she looks cuter un-groom. She doesn't have very prominent eyebrows....as it is almost the same colour as her body...

I think its literally incomprehensible or literally unimaginable for dog lovers to understand that some people just doesn't feel what they feel. Just like me.... looking in from the other spectrum...seeing but not really knowing?

From what you have written, you seemed to understand Kimmy very well.  That is very good. thumbup.gif And from what you have been doing for her with her ear infection, belly infection, taking her to puppy obedience class and training her, you are a responsible owner indeed!! rclxms.gif

About her peeing problem, did you make a fuss whenever she did it at the wrong place?  She may be wanting your attention.  Whenever she does it at the wrong place, just quickly clean up the place without much fuss but whenever she does it in the right place, praise her for it or even give her a treat.

I cannot say for other breeds but all miniature schnauzers are like that, they want your attention.  Look at the other miniature schnauzers, they do the same to their owners, like following them wherever they go, waiting for them outside the toilet, sitting beside them when they watch TV, etc.  (to Audrey and Kerrie, Santa does all those too, like Scottie and Happy).  Santa wants to be on my lap whenever I am at the computer and even when I am on the sofa watching TV.  They just want to be near us.  Isn't that sweet?  wub.gif

Do give both of you a chance.  If you can't bear to leave Kimmy home alone, maybe arrange with your friend to see if she can help you out since her children love Kimmy too and since Kimmy can get along with her dogs. Leave Kimmy with her when you are at work and take her home after work.

Please do give yourself more time to get Kimmy into your life.  You will never regret it but if you do sell her off, you may regret it for the rest of your life and if she gets into the wrong hands, you will have that guilt for the rest of your life.

Frankly, from what you have written, I can tell you understand Kimmy very very well and that is a really good start.  Do keep it up!! thumbup.gif If you have any problem, I am sure forummers here are ever so willing to help you.  Please do reconsider and do not make anymore wrong decision or impulsive decision.  Kimmy's future is in your hands.

Unfortunately, no one to help....no family or fren as she's in JB, i'm in KL! I just dun feel for her...like u guys do for your pets.

I will. Or mayb because I feel too much. I really dun know. I hate to see her going beserk when I get home....she's beside herself. Will go into a frenzzy. I'm not sure who'll break 1st; her or me if this goes on.

At first she'll gets very excited when I get home. I'll ignore her for few minutes until she comes down. Now she learns not to get too excited when I get home...but when I let her out...she'll go beserk...its quite upsetting seeing her like this.

I tried to give her some entertainment while I was away....I put a pcs of greenie in a yogurt container to challenge her and to give her some thing to do....and she tore the container to shreds!!! Ok....not working. Dun know if she swallow any pcs or not....damn!
