Awww don't feel bad. I've had those days and still have those days. I was so flustered with my two the other day... they were being really rough with one of our kitties the other day and our kitty did not like it at all. I had tried to stop them several times and they just were not listening. I finally yelled at them and used their full names and told them that if they didn't behave, I was taking them upstairs to their room (I sound like such a mom). They are 2 years old. Sometimes I think we all just need a break. Just try to relax!

As for Charlie chewing on things - he's teething. Get him some special teething toys. They have some special for teething puppies and you can also use a baby teething ring too and put it in the freezer. Some people have even put a wet rag in the freezer for their babies. Let him chew on some ice. Just make sure he has a lot of allowable things to chew on. Also, my forever saving grace, BITTER APPLE. Spray it on EVERYTHING you don't want chewed (furniture, clothes, carpet, rugs, humans, etc.) and don't forget to supervise Charlie 100%. If he still is chewing, a simple "NO" and then an extra squirt on the item that he's chewing on, then giving him something he can chew on, should do the trick.

Good luck and remember, he's just a baby!
