I feel for you. I also have 2 - TJ and Roxy. Both me and my husband work full time. I must say that everything you mentioned about their behavior is EXACTLY and THEN SOME what I have had to deal with too. It does get very frustrating and at times I am very tired. I no longer can take naps or just rest, always on the look out for whatever my 2 are up too!
It has gotten much, much better - but with certain things, I still have a way to go.
TJ and Roxy are both about 2 years old now. In May 2007 - We will have them for 2 years. The first year was definatley the hardest - puppies
But, with limited space for them, schdules, routines, positive praise and treats, and of course, TJ and Roxy growing up...Well, it is well worth it!
I still really can't take naps, b/c I still have occasional poop eaters - So, I always must be on poop watch - But, they both poop 1x in the AM and then in the evening, and I now know the signs of them having to go poop - And I bought this special Chicken Jerky Treat - that they both now know they only get when they go poop (and I get to flush it).
I wish I could spend more time with them. I do wish I could take them out for walks more often. I do plan on when it gets warmer here in NY to do that.
But, all in all - THEY ARE THE BEST PART OF ME AND MY HUSBANDS LIVES. They are our babies, we would do anything for them - because the love and joy that is in our household because of TJ and Roxy is priceless.
I have so much more that I could type, but I am at work right now and must log off. Please feel free to PM me. I would be more than happy to go into further detail of how I raised TJ and Roxy (working full time) maybe there is something I could tell you that might be of help!
