She is very lovely, when she's occupied, eating or sleeping. Hubby off on a long weekend and I legged it to the gym for an hour. You definitely need a teeny break as puppies are intense. Shadow learns something new approximately every hour, wether it is a good, bad or indifferent thing. This morning I managed to drop a dirty sock from th laundry basket and instead of innocently trying to ingest it in front of me, she grabbed it, looked at me and took off like a bat out of hell with her prize!

Well, that's the rule, anything on the floor belongs to the puppy.

This also applies to things that can be reached from the floor.

I completely understand how your feeling.

We have had our new german shepard puppy Otis for just over a week and last night was the first night he let us sleep all night without howling throughout the night!

We are slowly stopping the biting but he still has his odd moments where he seems to think he is the boss and can do what he likes!

I have two days holiday off work and all i've done is try to catch up on sleep when he's sleeping!

Wouldn't change him for the world though, he's brought so much happiness to our lives!

Just can't wait to be able to walk him and burn off some of this energy!

As I type, moonlight shadow is currently trying to take a lump out of my sons school trousers, with him still in them. Funny half hour approaches. It's at this time of the evening, you do get the same feeling as when your children were very young - 'and this was a good idea, why exactly?' Praise The Lord that shes a great big gluttony glutton so is therefore very easily trained. My fingernails are permanently caked in smooshed up puppy food that I have been using to teach (read, bribe) things with.

I was telling a friend today about the new arrival and she replied that she was thinking of getting a pup as her daughter really wanted one. I think I may have inadvertently put her clean off the idea as I told her that puppies nip, if you are house proud you are in for quite a surprise and ultimately, the children may harp and moan for pets but the adult is ultimately responsible. She said she really didn't like the sound of any of that!

I can't wait either for all the walks, we have some lovely ones around here, but I think they need to be at least a year before you can really go for a good old jaunt, so their joints don't get damaged.

Oh, she's made for devilment alright. She's being ever so good this evening and obeying everything. That had nothing at all to do with the smidgens of liver I keep giving her. Nothing at all.

I genuinely think she has already doubled in size, you can see in her face the dog she will become. She is MEGA wiggly now when you are trying to carry her - oh, that leads to my question. How do other people restrain puppies in the car. At the minute she sits on my knee, she's just too small for anything else but I don't think that is going to last much longer. Is it worthwhile buying a smaller dog harness for the back seat, given that she will be monster truck sized all to soon. I know that legally she should be restrained but I can't be the one who carrys a pup in their lap. I should add, for those that don't know or remember, I can't drive so I'm in the passenger seat, not steering about manically with a hyper lab eating my coat at traffic lights!
