Charlie, sweet, your new mom will serve you a proper diet so it doesn't give you tummy troubles! I know you will learn all the skills you need and also get lots of positive attention And you will be happy, healthy, loved and learn to play and have fun
I think Charlie does it due to his past exp with not having access to any food or water. The second he sees food its gone & will eat until he pukes & eat that & puke again & over & over & over. He also eats his food in record time & will eat anything that smells like food (bags, etc). I'm positive hes just worried when his next meal will be.

As for peeing, I think a lot of it is marking (unless he sneaks in a whole bowl of water) & I don't think hes ever been trained to hold himself, so he just lets it aaaaaall out when he feels the need.

When he gets the big snip next month he'll be confined to very small area in the house (a giant dog bed beside the couch in the livingroom..where we always are) for a few weeks, in hopes that all his hormones will be out of his body & he'll have no interest in marking everywhere.
