Dog rant
We have 2 dogs, Dog 1 (Cyrus)is my wifes dog he's a Boston terrier / Pit mix. Dog 2 (Bella)is mine she's a Boxer mix.
Now Cyrus is a straight up coward barks and growls anytime there is something between him and whoever he's barking at. He also suffer from separation anxiety. He also has a bad habit of barking/snapping at me when my back is turned to him. I'm not fearfull of him biting me but I get very annoyed with it as it happens at least once a day. If I call him up on my lap he's a complete pussycat, very lovable. If I or my wife go to leave the house or even step out into the garage he goes ballistic, literally screaming and barking to the point where he throws up.I just don't know how to break him of these habits and don't think I will he's already 4 so this is a sort of learned behavior.
Bella on the other hand is 7 months old and a total clutz. She doesn't care about who she is stepping or sitting on and always has to have every bit of your attention or she whines. She also has a bladder the size of this (0), so every 15-20 minutes she needs to be taken out. She also drinks water like she hasn't had a drink in days! I kid not I'll have to get a video of how bad she is. She will come in from outside and drink an entire bowl then move on to Cyrus's bowl and chug that down. I doubt that she would stop if the bowl were to not go empty. Is that normal for a puppy her size? could there be something wrong? The vet said that it is normal but I've had alot of dogs before but never seen one with this kind of thirst.
Thanks for listening I needed to vent... Discuss........

If she drinks an inordinate amount it could be a sign of any number of problems such as a bladder or kidney infection. I didn't understand from your e-mail whether you had actually visited a vet with your dog or just spoke with one.
It was an actual visit with her vet. But then again I don't think they understood the severity of her drinking. LOL I just thought about how that sounds.
Anyhow I would never get rid of either of them even though they tend to be real PITA's at times they are our kids.
