When bringing home a new puppy why would an existing dog begin licking everything like pillows and couches?
It's no different than if you have a 3 year old and bring a new baby home. The child, in most cases will be a little jealous. You've had your dog for awhile and now you are bringing in a puppy and making a big, big fuss over it (easy to do I know.) When I introduced a new pup into our family (with an adult dog) I always took the time to spend a one-on-one time with my older pet. I would often take my adult dog for a fun walk on the dyke by the river for about 1/2 hour to an hour and it was just Daisy and me! LOL In time, if you continue this routine your adult dog will be fine. The dog is upset and that's why the licking of pillows, couches, etc. Please spend some time with the adult dog. Even if one of the kids in the family or your husband/wife could bond more with the adult dog this licking would stop. Good luck Marcy Jelousy maybe..... Marking Territory and letting the new guy know who's boss, i would think. my five year old chihuahua does it religiously. i don't try to stop it because it's better than him pissin all over the house. you handle it however you want... just remember it's better than the alternative. ghost-luv-u: i'd say its obviously jelsous and marking it territory. as saidabove its better than him peeing.
My friends 5 week old puppy is throwing up clear liquid and it happens every 5 or so minutes what should we do for it at home?
A five week old puppy that is throwing up clear liquid every five minutes or so should be seen by a vet. There is not much that you can do for the puppy at home. If this puppy is away from its mother, it is too young. Puppies can become dehydrated very quickly, it is important to get the pup medical care right away.

How should you introuduce your staffy dog to a staffy pup?
Before bringing a new puppy into a home that already has a resident dog, be sure that the adult dog is not territorial or in any way inclined to bite. Luckily, the majority of Staffies are amazing mothers and fathers to their puppies and hopefully your adult Staffy will pick up on this maternal behaviour (even if they are not the parent). Generally, the younger the puppy is the less likely it is that there will be as problem. To be precautious, introduce the two dogs in a neutral place, such as a park or field where they are not on each others territory. If everything goes well and they get to know each other, take them home and watch them carefully for any signs of trouble. Try not to let the puppy annoy the adult dog by jumping all over them, give the adult some space and everything should be fine. Good luck!
