?

so I tried to post this question yesterday and got a lot of nonproductive messages

My 7 month old great dane will not stop peeing in his crate

he is in his crate when I am not at home or sleeping..

during the day he spends about 3 hours in his crate then he is out for 2 hours then back in for an hour ]( dont make stupid comments plenty of dogs spend 8-12 hours a day in a crate)

he goes outside roughly 4 times a day he goes to the door to go out.

he does NOT have accidents in the house it is only in his crate

he pees ALL THE TIME in his crate

it is not because he is spending too much time in his crate as he is out majority of the time and all the time on weekends and never does he have accidents in the house

but everytime he is in his crate when I go to let him out he has peed

every single time there is pee on his blankets

I need to stress he does not do this in the house it is only in his crate

and its too the point where if it doesnt stop he wont be able to have blankets because he is going through 3 or so blankets everyday ...

i assume its behavioral marking etc

I would like to ween him out of the crate during summer vacation but currently I cant leave him out when i am not home

so I need to know if there is anything I can do to teach him to not pee in his crate

-there is no medical condition

- he goes out as often as he needs and he always goes out before going in his crate and as soon as he comes out of his crate

- he didnt start doing this until we moved ( 2 months ago)

- he has never had an accident in the house it is only in his crate

-he spends a total of about 4 hours a day in his crate and 10 hours out ( then he is in his crate for bed )

-i let him out once in the middle of the night

I need to stress its not that he cannot hold it.. for some reason he only pees in his crate and it really is quiet frustrating..

I clean his crate with an organic bleach/ammonia free cleaner

and wash his blankets daily in sunlight

or if anyone has any ideas how to ween him out of the crate WITHOUT him destroying my house when I am not at home and no I am not going to tie him to a couch

thanks

anyone else with a child who is extremely aggressive my son is 6 and VERY disruptive and VERY violent he is constantly hitting and kicking and biting destroying things he hits with object such leashs hangers anything he can get his hands on he will hit you with

( he has hit me in the face with a dog bone and split my lip open he has bitten chunks out of my arm)

he destroys EVERYTHING he will dump food on the floor he will colour on walls rip up important papers he even has dumped out 40lb bags of dog food on several occasions..

he sees a psychiatrist and is on medication :"ocd and anxiety" is what he has been diagnosed with but his aggressive and violent mood swings lead me to believe there is something more going on

I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what their diagnosis was and if there is any advice in what I can do to maybe help calm him down

we usually use redirection and restraining we cannot get him to do a time out or take things away it makes him more aggressive

and no answers " he needs a good spanking" I would like to hear from people who have experienced this kind of mental health issues in their children

ok so we have a 7 month old great dane

he has been well socialized spends time at the dog park and around other dogs

about a month and a half ago he started becoming very dog aggressive he tries to attack almost any dog he has seen

we originally thought it was only other unfixed males because he is fine with our other dog and my friends fixed male

he is not fixed because I co own him with a breeder .. he has never been bred as of current

NOW our female dog is a rescue and she is not fixed yet because she has other medical issues that need to be resolved first

and she did go through a heat

but his aggression started before she went into heat and has continued

I am kind of concerned about what to do

I can not get ahold of the breeder

but people are now complaining and afraid of him and he is very hard to control when he sees another dog its a burst of aggressive energy

he was not attacked and was not in a dog fight

ok so my ex and I met online he is from another country we did the back and forth thing

then he moved here he was looking for work or supposed to be

we got engaged blah blah

it started to go down hill we were always together ( i do my school from home) he wouldn't bother looking for work

my son has special needs he started to not be able to handle it and got burnt out

one day he told me his mom was sick in the hospital and he was rushing out the next day 2 weeks of game playing on facebook and then we ended it

i found out his mom probably wasnt in the hospital

he treated me like some casual girl

he blocked and deleted me and our mutual friends from everything just completely erased me from his life

in the last message he claimed he loved me and cared deeply ...

But how could he if he erased me .. he lost a some keys I needed in the house I emailed him asking about the keys he wouldn't even respond...

i finally sent him one deep message explaining how i felt and tthe situation

It has been 2 months since he left ( well 2 months in a few days) and its not getting any easier sometimes i feel ok

most the time I miss him I still cry and I can't be bothered to meet anyone

i have tried to go on a date nothing serious and it was very hard

we were together a year for some reason i am not getting over him

any ideas how I can??

I realize he was full of I statements and selfish and he treated me like some casual girl I know his bad points and it makes me angry then im sad again I feel like a loser for missing him that much

the movie name just completely slipped my mind kid checks himself into an adult psych ward and makes new friends etc etc comedy drama and it like just came out recently

ok so there is a movie of being trapped in an elevator and one is a killer he cuts some girl up and rubs salt on her or something like that my friend saw it I wanna see it ..

I thought maybe the four stories of st julian but she says its not she says its about a black out idk??

I just know some chick gets cut up and rubbed with salt

ok soo my fiance and I split and my mom just moved in with me to help out

between my ex my son and I we spent about $100- $125 a week on groceries

we eat healthy and by a lot of fresh farm raised meats

lots of fruits and vegetables and we made a lot of our own snacks

since my mom has been back we have been spending OVER $200 a week in food

she eats quiet a bit and really enjoys her snacks

how can I maintain my budget of $100- $125 a week without offending my mom its frustrating she claims if she doesn't have her popcorn and chips and cookies and icecream and cola she will throw up ( yes she eats pukes eats puke) and claims these are the only things she keeps down

but realistically we cannot afford it

and no kicking my mom out is not an option

ok we got a 1 and half year old dog on a foster program with a breeder

they said she has not had a litter but she has very large teats

has anyone seen this before ?

we recently got a 1 and a half year old boxer she drinks a lot but only pees in the morning she goes out several times a day to run for walks etc

any ideas?

she is not sick no infections

ok I just got an Ipod shuffle 3rd generation and I downloaded Itunes how can I put music already on my computer on my ipod?

I know we are not supposed to teach or to have authority over men.. does that include a teacher of a public school? a dayvare teacher, a group home worker, how about women working with the elderly

or the disabled?

Going by the bible and putting in todays world were women have to work ( as one income is usually not enough) what kind of jobs are suitable for a woman

p.s. I am school and I want to work with develop-mentally delayed people

or Palliative care patients

I remember years ago like 10-15 years ago there used to be a farm game for pc it was kinda basic but cool and you had to maintain and build a farm and grow crops and breed and sell animals

( NOT farm ville)

ok so I noticed about 6 months ago that my left side was more toned then my right side like the side fat under my arm and my arm itself and that left side fat was still quiet a lot

I recently noticed that my left boob is about a whole cup size smaller then my right boob and still the fat on my left side is smaller then my right

I talked to my dr about the sudden size difference in my breast and he said it is because I am left handed and use my left arm for everything thuse my left side is more toned.. and that the brest siize could be due to that or being on and off my bc pills a lot the hormone change can cause breast changes.. he felt for lumps and nothing and no other symptoms

just wondering if anyone else has had this lopsided fat/ boob thing and how to make it equal

A teenager tears up a bible

I realize abortion is wrong .. in every way possible... But what if it is needed

example : the mother or childs life is at risk .. and could die during labor .. or it is an ectopic pregnancy and has to be terminated.,.

what if a pregnancy has to be terminated at life risk to the woman at no fault of her own.. is that still sin/??

I have noticed that a lot of churches focus a lot on changing people and instilling their beliefs and "brain washing" people more then following the word of jesus

My old church was a G12 church and the stuff they did IDK it was weird and uncomfortable they were very judging and if you missed one sunday they would assume you where not interested and if you return they would give you cold shoulder

very unwelcoming

I believe in following a king not worshiping a concept

we have pets Dogs well cared for .. someone told me owning a pet was a sin I am almost 100% sure thats wrong just double checking

does it have to be 10%

does it have to go to the church or can you spread it out to different charities etc/??

I have heard mixed remarks and I am wondering what other peoples opinions are on video games

I realize one should not waste hours and hours a day playing video games and should not play violent or senseless video games

but for instance we own a wii my son ( who has adhd and anxiety) and myself set aside about an hour a day where we put on music (chrisitan as that is what we listen to or veggie tales etc) and we play active wii games non violent kid friendly,

sometimes we play longer than an hour if it is not nice outside and we cannot go to the park .
