Ok here goes.  We have 2 golden retrivers.  One is 9 yrs old and the other is 4 months old.  

 

When playing like i have a toy and throw it the older dog will go get it then the puppy will also go and the older dog will give in and let it go when the little guy gets close.  He wont even fight for it.  Just drops it and runs away (upstairs or to mom).  I dont know if he is to mellow but most of the time he hates being around the puppy.  Its wierd.  The puppy (mini me) has lost most of his teeth and is basically done teething so he doesnt (and never really did we didnt let him) bite the older dog

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks

:D

Does the older dog seem to get aggrevated with the pup or just kind of ignore him? Either way I would say they just need to spend as much time together as they can. It may be hard for them to develop a "buddy" relationship given the age difference.

He doesnt get mad at him.  He gives in to easy

 

Maybe he is scared of him cause he is small?  

 

They are getting better

 

The puppy is much more of an outdoors dog.  He chases everything that moves.  He is even chasing squirrels (even when they start barking at him)

 

He didnt really enjoy swimming til the end of the season.  I coul have been my dad scared him when he threw him in??? haha

My brother in law has two german short-hairs that he hunts with. One of which will not go anywhere near water. So when they come to a creek he has to be carried across.

 

My brother in law wasn't to happy when he found out the reason for this. My sister used to dump water on the dog for constantly barking. :D

The older dog may be reacting to the puppy getting all the attention he used to get. He may not have a problem with the new dog as much as a problem with you and the other family members. He's (in his opinion) not top dog anymore. And may give in to the puppy in fear of retaliation from you if he challenges "your new favorite". Sort of like the older kids respond to a new baby in the house. Dogs are so domesticated they go through many of the emotions a human will as well as depression. Just a thought. :D

This isnt the case.  The puppy is lockedup (with gates) in our dining room most of the time.  The older dog gets just as much attention if not more since we got the new dog.

 

Especially now with my mom being out of work

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
