[Deadbug]

There was a puppy boarding school. You know, a place that I can send my little terrorist, Issy, until she's through all this chewing, whining and peeing in the house! A place that I can just pay tuition and get her back all grown up and a good dog. Puppies are such hard work! There are days that it just wears on me and I have to step back and remind myself that like a toddler, this is just a stage and WILL get better. I remember Gabby was similarly as hard to raise but Issy does things Gab never did. Gab never chewed anything up that wasn't hers. Issy chews everything up that ISN'T hers. Gabby wasn't a whiner. If I put her in her ex pen, she'd take a nap or play with her toys. Issy whines as much as a colicky baby. They both love to shred paper towels and unroll the toilet paper though.

I need to send my DH there too! It's his fault she ate the bed... twice.

Sometimes I feel guilty. Gabby and I have a much stronger bond than me and Issy. Is that normal?
