I dunno, but I think that our chi-weenie has ADD.
he takes a toy out of his basket, plays with it for 1 minute and then goes in for another. He does this until he has all 8 of his toys out.
Oh yeah, he has OCD and is hyperactive also.
I don't think that they make Ritalin for dogs, maybe I will check it out though.
almost left out that we like to make him think he's skitso. Like knocking on the wall and asking him "who was that' his Chihuahua eyes just about pop out of their sockets.
or going to an upstairs heat vent and talking to him through it, so he thinks he's hearing voices.
I am too old to be picking on my dog this way, but it's so funny, can't help it.
