Happy Canada Day!
OK, so it’s a day early but I have tomorrow off. It’s weird when the stat falls midweek because it’s hard to adapt your schedule, especially when so many people have taken the Monday.
It’s countdown to puppy at our house. I have to bring the beds and toy box up from the basement; place all tempting chewables up and out of harm’s way and buy a few things like puppy kibble and dental dinosaurs. They are perfect for training puppies. Substitute a chewing toy for a chair or a pillow and it helps cut down on destruction.
It’s been 13 years since I’ve been thru this and I have to admit, as adorable as puppies are, I would rather get a dog that was house trained. At the same time, it’s kind of nice to have the chance to imprint on the dog during its formative weeks.
Still, I remember when Willy Bumpers was a baby. She ate almost anything leather, but would only eat one shoe out of every pair.
Her favourite snack was a very expensive leather watch. She ate the band and spit out the rest and I found it lying perfectly arranged on the bedroom floor.
Oh yeah. I have to get Bitter Lemon…gallons of Bitter Lemon.
