 Nightmare of a day!
So.... Maxwell is about 15 weeks and we've had him for about 9. Today the thought occurred to me that if he wasn't just so darn cute I'd knock him out! (I wouldn't any way but he's sure been pushing buttons!!!) I realize he's still little (I keep telling myself that anyway), I'm just windwring when can I realistically expect him to behave!
He is absolutely content to sit in my lap and is generally very quiet and still when I hold him. However he eats my kids! I try to get them to correct him (gently my youngest is only 4) but he pays them no mind. He's not being mean just playing but it isn't very fun for my children.
He eats EVERYTHING... I have resorted to keeping him leashed in the house because if a toy is on the floor (and there is almost always something) he will find it.... Which isn't surprising but then he runs away so I can't get it! And he is smart sneaky and therefore hard to catch! This is not only annoying and exhausting for me but dangerous for him. Much less so when he is leashed.
He still messes in the house occasionally which I know takes time and is more my fault than his but still added to the whole frustration today.
Yes I know he's a puppy and it takes time... I would just like opinions s about realistically how long these terrible twos last! Thanks in advance! |
