I thought it might be the bowl at first, it was a metal bowl. I wouldn't want to drink out of metal so I switched it out for a glass bowl. No difference so I switched it for a plastic bowl, and then a different plastic bowl. He still doesn't like it. He sure does have a lot of those little idiosyncr...

Won't drink his water?
Gabe has always been a little weird about drinking his water, it seems like he waits until he just can't wait anymore and then drinks the whole bowl. Lately however he won't go near his bowl. He drinks the water out of the bathtub after we shower, or if we spill some putting the ice cube trays away,...

I suppose it's possible he's bored. Usually when he's pestering me it's with his favorite toy at my feet. He gets two walks a day, the first one about 30 minutes, the 2nd about an hour. He goes in the backyard but not for long periods if I'm not out there with him. He sleeps a lot but any time he's ...

Teenager?
so I suspect my dog Gabe is entering this teenage phase I've heard so much about. He's approx. 18 mos. Can't be sure because we got him from a shelter. He's started being really vocal when he wants something, making sounds I've never heard come out of a dog, and barking. At us. Not cool. So we're be...

He is indeed a floppy ear guy. He eats Taste of the Wild. Is there a way to tell if it's something in that causing the problem? We switched to that after he was having stomach troubles on Nutro, figured it would be good to go grain free. I only do the vinegar solution once a week, I wipe his ears ou...

Ear infection
Gabe seems to have another ear infection. Last time we were at the vet she remarked that he had a lot of build up and to just keep using the vinegar/water solution like we had been. We've been doing that and trying to keep his ears as clean as possible but it seems to really be bothering him. Is the...

Yeah I need to be more consistent with warning him that I'm about to get near or touch him. I think that's why he doesn't do the growling with my husband, as my husband tends to talk more loudly than I do and just make more noise in general. I don't think Gabe is ever surprised by him. I just wish t...

I'm still a little concerned about this growling thing he's doing. He's done it in the past but it seemed to go away after he'd lived with us for a couple months. It's only if he's laying down but it doesn't matter where he is. Our bed, the couch, the futon, wherever. He also has never done it with ...

Update
We took Gabe to the vet yesterday. He had hookworms. They treated him and we got 6 months worth of Interceptor. I'm happy to know what is wrong with him but I was very unhappy with the vet visit. When I mentioned the growling to her, as something that was very out of character for him, she said he m...
