all of a sudden sisnce we got blair happy have started counter surfing, stealing food, fumbling the ball in flyball, messing all over the house, etc.. I dont know what has gotten into her, is she just jelous f the puppy? should I give her extra attention? do you think she is just doing this in hopes of attention? she knows that in flyball she will get worked more if she fumbles the ball(more boxwork) and I never believed it was her making all the messes and counter surfing so I gave to a bunch of attention cuz she was getting blamed, but now all the evdence points to happy, what has gottin into my baby? just jelousy? should I give her more attention? I have just had to puppy sit so much that she hasent gotten all the attention she normally gets, and with misty in heat....

When another dog is added to the household, you need to always make sure the resident dogs' routines are not changed. I would make some extra time to spend with her. She needs at least the same amount of attention she got before the puppy arrived, but preferrably a little more, especially now that she's acting up.

thanks she is better now, the problem was that my mom got really busy with elections(she is an elections official) and docters appontments that I ended up stuck watching her braty puppy all the time, plus I had midterms that week, so happy got a little left in the dark, she is better now, my mom is able to watch her little brat again and midterms are over, so happy got her attention back!
