| So much energy, not listening at all! Winston has been sooo hyped up the past couple days, he is driving me nuts! He's into everything hes not supposed to have, jumping all over everything. He pulled my glasses off the coffee table earlier and chewed the ends. Grrr. We have been snowed in for a couple days, so taking him for a walk is out of the question, I'm sure he is super bored. Anyone have any ideas of how to occupy a crazy puppy other than playing fetch for hours on end?

| Oh, gosh, I feel for all of you that are in these frigid temperatures! It was cold here yesterday (for Texas anyway), and Dallas didn't want to be out in it. (Rory never goes out, she's terrified of the outside) I have no words of wisdom for you, unfortunately. Dallas & Rory play together so they get their energy out that way, and use mommy to nap on. Good luck dealing with that cold weather, though! |

YT 1000 Club Member | Do you think you could have a play date with another small toy breed owner? I'm in Texas too and when it gets too cold for walks we use the treadmill together or I'll invite my friend over who has a toy poodle. |

| Have you tried playing hide and seek inside the house? Kaji and I do this all the time! It's so much fun!! Or puzzle games. I haven't tried those, but hear nothing but good things about them.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | A good ol' game of fetch can help run some of the pent up energy out of him.

| Couple things I do to entertain them is play hide/seek. Show them a toy/treat, then I put them in a room where they can't see me. I hide the toy/treat somewhere in the house and then let them out. They absolutely LOVE this game. Another thing I do is to get a small blanket (really cheap one) and put a toy/treat under it. Zoey then "digs" to get the toy/treat but it takes a while since it gets bundled up. With Magnus, he's bigger so I make it harder by tying the blanket so he'd have to untie it to get to the toy/treat. Here's a youtube clip of what I described. Digging Indoor!

| Ill have to try hide and seek! He might like that. We wen to my mom's house yesterday, she has a carin terrier. Winston likes her, not so much the other way around lol. Shes not a very socialized dog so she doesn't know how to play really. So that didn't last too long lol. Hes going for an interview at Camp Bow Wow today, hopefully he has fun running around with the dogs for a little while!

| I know when Charlie goes to my mom's house with me and plays with her dog all day, on the way back he doesn't make it home before he's passed out. |
