cheryl000,
I know how hard it is to have a puppy. I have 2 12 month old brother and sister. My husband really loved them at first when they were very small and we could tell what they were going to do. We crated them. I love the crates. (They now sleep in the beds with us) My husband is a very demanding person who likes to be in charge of his "castle". He's a very good man, but during the potty training and teething phase, he would get very frustrated. For some reason they loved his things, shall I say they loved to destroy his things! LOL When they were about 4 months old, Bubba was out back and a stranger walked by our fence and tried getting in. Thank God we keep it locked. Well needless to say, Cricket is Daddy's precious girl, and Bubba is Daddy's best buddy and is "all muscle like Daddy". I think your husband will come around after your pup goes through some of the puppy phase.
As for the ornament, maybe you son could make another one, and years from now you can look at the replacement and laugh at how crazy your pup USED to be!! hugs from me to you and you can pm me or email me if you want. I'm pretty handy at making a bad situation turn around.
Here's a big (((((((HUG)))))))))
