    Guess what Bentley did!

    I finally got a way to play instrumental music in my bedroom where I keep my chin, Bentley. I was lying down listening and heard Bentley make three sounds in exact imitation of the musical notes being played! He did it twice and I haven't heard it since. I was thrilled and tickled to death...

    Solitary Chin lonely? Please help me brainstorm solution.

    Hello, I have a 10-12 year old male chin that has lived alone all his life. He's had two owners prior to me, I've had him about 2 years now. He has started calling out behavior when for nearly a year and a half I never heard hardly a peep out of him. He calls at night, while he's half asleep...

    Older chin starts new unwanted behaviour

    My chin, Bentley, is a 10 year old male who has lived alone all his life (so I believe). I've had him for over a year and before that a friend owned him for about 5 years. Recently he's been humping my hand, arm, leg, foot, whatever he can get at. It all started with giving him organic raw...

    Only Bark for heavy chewer

    I tried to do a search for my question but couldn't find anything or rather my queries found everything but the answer to my question, lol. My chin likes to chew only the bark off chew sticks and such, then he leaves the rest of the stick to waste. He's putting a dent in my budget going through...

    Bentley's Checkup

    Just got back from the vet and Bentley's checkup went very well! 6 months ago I took him in because of severe barbering and the vet said his diet was bad, his poop was too small, and he had a couple little tooth spurs and a sore tongue. He suggested some changes to his diet which we have...

    Startling behavior, what is this!?

    Last night my male chin, Bentley, did something strange that I've never had him do before. We discovered he loves organic rolled oats, it's like a drug to him. He goes bonkers when we give him some and will practically maul us for more. He was out last night and I fed him a couple small...

    So cute when he pouts!

    My chin, Bentley, MUST have his out of cage time, no matter what else is going on in the world. Last night it was delayed a bit because I was busy with grandkids. I came into his room to get something and he was so excited, hopping back and forth and stretching up on the sides of his cage. His...

    Waking Up to Eat

    My chin, Bentley, male age 10, has been waking up lately to eat. He usually sleeps during the day, gets up to use his litter box at around 4 pm then goes back to sleep until 7, when he gets up for his 'day'. Lately though he's been getting up several times during his sleep time to eat pellets...

    Color Changing Chin

    Hello - I have a standard grey male chin named Bentley who is 10 years old. His color has always been dark around his haunches and face but most recently his coat is starting to lighten up. He seems the most healthy that I've seen him since I switched to proper pellets and hay. He eats about 2...

    Puffy Spots Under Eyes

    I know this isn't a dire emergency since my chin is still very active, eating well and pooping up a storm but I'm worried. He sees the vet on Friday because he has developed puffy circles under both eyes that are a bit larger than a nickle. His eyes are clear and bright with no drainage...

    Homemade wheels

    Hi, I was thinking about making a wheel for my chin using a 16" galvanized feed pan and a lazy susan bearing (not the entire lazy susan). Has anyone had experience doing this? Any advice? Thanks :)

    Chin won't use litter pan now

    I recently changed from shavings to fleece for the bottom of my chin's cage. I put in a glass baking dish with shavings for his litter pan and put it in the corner he always uses to pee. He loves the soft texture of the fleece but now won't use the litter pan. He did the first couple of days...
