Pup Parade

@Morleyhunt. Love that kiddo anyway. The Siamese in residence over here loves computer cords. Oh my yes he does. Chomp chomp.

@Morleyhunt Oh what a perfect scenario for a book. We adopted a dog from the animal shelter and there was a certain time period in which we could return her. She was a good girl all during that time. Yup. Day after? She chewed up my husband's leather belt and one of my shoes. We didn't have a lot of money so replacing those items was not a sure thing.

@sallypup funny how none of those anecdotes made me think about a book. Just yesterday my sister in law were reminiscing about the days we had our babies. We wanted to write the book "Forever Pregnant". We both tended to bake our babies for more than the normal nine months. She suggested a sequel."Waiting for Dad to Go.....it Will Surprise You , What Old Folks Can Do!"

We shall have to see. We had one when I was a nipper, and a neighbour's German Shepherd bltch used to come visit us when I was in my mid-teens. It's an adventure.

I like all three of those names @pgntwo at least you didn't name him Max, that name is so overused. I still want a puppy and whats worse is my neighbors are getting a GSD puppy too.

@rebelann Or Rex. Or Fang...

He's called Thorin. I quite liked Jaws, but the others in the house vetoed that suggestion, as well as vetoing Cæsar.

@pgntwo I remember the retriever of my niece when she was a puppy, impossible to let the shoes out of the cabinet.

Several snaps, yes. Well, he'll be in training class in mid-Sept, see if that reigns-in the snappiness a bit, he should have his first set of teeth complete by then.

@LadyDuck Thankfully, if the behaviour is not encouraged, the growing dog learns to leave shoes and furniture alone. If you have any left...

He definitely does. The Wolf is not too far beneath the skin in this breed, I think!

@pgntwo Our Leah is gentle but I could tell when she was a pup that she was not going to be a grown up twenty pounder. I'd gone through a lot with our little Sally so I decided to give it a go on teaching Leah manners. She grew to 80 pounds of muscle. Thank God her and I have worked together many hours. Sure has paid off.

@sallypup This guy starts his lessons next week, familiarization classes I think they are called. Lots of work ahead...

3 pups would be a lot of work. This one has our 18month-old chocolate labrador dog to keep him in check. For a while, anyway.

@poehere so 10weeks, and all teeth, alongside an almost 2-year old - the growls and yaps ;)

@pgntwo It is a lot of work. 2 of them are 6 months old and they have their mother to keep them in check. The other one is only 2 months old. She is coming along just fine. All of them are housebroken and they are so fun to watch. At times I have to stop them because they get so wild when they play together.

@pgntwo Good luck to you. I am sure that you will do just great.

Me too, but this time the training is in our hands

@velvet53 We shall see. At the moment, Jaws is an appropriate name, he's like a shark, nipping your ankles when you're half asleep in the morning, standing pouring water from the kettle into your teapot... need eyes in the back of your head, the mischievous tinker!

@pgntwo You're welcome, pgn...

@DaddyEvil He's been taken to a local trainer's first "familiarisation class" today. I foresee tales of doom and gloom in an hour or so. The older dog, who turned two this week, has an hour all to himself, no nippy, yappy pup to put up with. The cat, as usual, remains aloof, maintaining a healthy disdain... until feeding time this evening, no doubt.

Not bad, for a vid taken on my older daughter's Blü mobile phone - looks great played back on my Oneplus 3T phone, but not great on the laptop. Cute, huh? (Thank you!)

The memories live on in the legs of the table, chewed up and all as they are

All teeth and yap at the moment. This should pass, in a few months...
