.....How's the "puppy" doing? .... Be honest now,.....how many shoes, gloves, slippers etc, etc has he decided needed "some-chewing"

And, more importantly.....how is the daughter doing at the U of M?

Hope she still likes Mizzooula...............yea, it is kinda like a "zoo" on occasion

I am glad that you all can hear after so many bullets......

MG, I wrote a huge message, then went out to dinner, then came home and shampooed the carpet @ 10:00....dog diarrhea...(and then I said heck with it and deleted the huge message). I bought him some real bones at the grocery, baked them in order to cook the tiny bit of beef and burn off the fat, gave him one yesterday afternoon, (so that he would be occupied and maybe not yank so much grass out), but it backfired, thus the carpet shampoo.....

I've lost several things that I've had for decades, including one crystal object tonight.....having a pony in the house is not easy. He's a good dog, loving, super-velcro, but we're getting too old for this puppy stuff and I'll be glad when he settles down a little and stops eating things such as an Oriental rug that I've had for 35 years.. At 8 months, he's 100 lbs. He'll be 150 by age 2.

He loves snow, loves to eat it, loves to lay in it....those two layers of fur keep him very warm.

My girl likes school, hates the enormous amount of pressure, is always writing an essay and is looking forward to graduation. This generation is very stressed, especially when they are close to graduation. She is in a suite with 3 other girls, all studious, so at least she is not dealing with a psychotic room mate this time around. They've had a small amount of snow, but lots of cold rain.....snow is on the way though.....

The great thing about a puppy, is that you get rid of stuff you probably did not need anyway, if it was important, you would have put it away.

Wemt to Missoula, loved it. Seemed like being in the big city. They even have a "Five Guys" there!

EH, get better!

Remember, a puppy is exactly equivalent to a toddler armed with a chainsaw but with the mobility of a teenager (and in this case, also driving a bulldozer), and you need to puppy-proof AND restrict AND watch him (when not restricted) exactly as you would a toddler. Otherwise pup will do all the same things, in spades, that 2 or 3 active toddlers combined would manage. And puppies have better vision and more reach. What's that thread at the top of the drapes for?

Your best friend is a crate or kennel (or tie-out where he can't reach anything), into which he goes ANY time he's not under direct observation -- same as you'd put a toddler into a playpen rather than let them roam the house unobserved.
