Zoe will occasionally do the same thing with the snapping at smaller dogs. She is punished when she is caught in the act... severely. Mom says she will not tolerate it in her home. She needs to see a behaviorist. It is very clear that her issue is jealousy. The little dogs get to sit in moms lap and get picked up but Zoe can't do that.

Bandit just needs some "Bandit" time. He used to do as he pleased, get attention as he pleased and is less than thrilled that everything has now changed. One on one time will help him adjust and I'm sure they will bond as they grow up together. Just like humans, I'm sure they will benefit from a mixture of one on one activities and activities that they learn to do together.

Outside is Zoe's special place since she is trained to stay in the yard so mom can run around with her; throw sticks and tennis balls and such while the others stay inside. Hopefully everything works out, keep us posted :) 

I don't know about licking the paws, sorry.  But Bandit is snapping at the new puppy because he is trying to be the "pack leader" in the house, which is the part you should play! They will learn to get along soon, they have to live together, so they have to het used to eachother.

Bandit have your mom have the Vet check your paws when you go to the Vet again. Not an emergency though. Whenever I play hard at the park - I do not play for several days. I hardly walk and act lethargic and lick my paws constantly. Mom looked and looked and found nothing either, but got really worried and took me to the Vet. When the Vet  examined my paws she said that my pads are soft and not conditioned and that is why tbey bother me. Mom couldn't see anything. The Vet said there is little that can be done about it. Mom now soaks my feet in a warm tub after play for about 10 minutes and that has helped a lot.

Also not to be mean - but it is possilbe that you may have "micro" size buggy of some sort that can only be seen under a microscope and not with the human eye. If you go to the doggie park it is possible to get anything.

As for your snapping at the new pup. Have your mom Consider what is happening and going on around when you snap. Is he around your water or food bowl? your bed?  ??? Brother always snaps at me on my nose if I go anywhere near his food bowl or when there is food around him. He is overly protective of food even if it is not his. He does not snap when he comes by my food bowl and seems to know it is mine - but thinks any other food belongs to him and every other pet needs to not go near it.

For the paw licking it may be allergies too.  You'd have to ask the vet and see what they say.  The snapping is probably a dominance thing. Like Sadie said, he wants to be the pack leader.  I do that too. I don't like any other dog around my food, if they come around I will growl and bite at the other dog.  Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?

well guys mom made an appt for me to go on tuesday and get checked out (also to get the bordatello shots for me and Gizmo because we started an indoor doggie playgroup last night) So we will let you know how it goes .. thanks for all of your suggestions

 **and tomorrow night daddy is going to be out of town so grandma is going to take Gizmo so we can have some mommy bandit time

I just put up a link about lick granulomas.  In Bandit's case, Bandit is probably feeling a lack of attention because of the new puppy and is soothing himself with the licking.  More one on one time away from the puppy will probably help.  If Bandit keeps licking, he may need ultimately need medication to help him.

Nala may need more attention, could have an allergy or bite that triggers the licking, but then the licking irritates it and the cycle continues.  It could be that your dog has separation anxiety or is just an obsessive personality type.  No matter what the reason, you really should try to stop the licking and biting.  It could turn into a much bigger, more costly problem. 

he probably has something bothering him thats not visible? I'd take him to the vet for a check-up.
