Gawd … our puppy is so hyper right now and it’s almost 11:30 pm! While we were outside gardening this evening we kept her inside in her crate. Obviously that was too long cause she’s got energy to burn … and of course Chris and I are both tired after doing all that work on the yard.
Arghhhh
When we came inside and let her out of her crate she ran around the house like crazy … running low to the ground the way puppies do when they are playing. It was funny but I knew then that she’d probably be a handful for the rest of the evening.
Chris is fading fast and I’ve got work to do on the computer. This might be a long night. Now if only I can find the office supplies I bought the other day .. that would be good. I’m totally out of pens .. my husband steals them all the time.
Hopefully the puppy settles down soon. If she doesn’t I’ll see if I can summon the energy to take her out for a long walk. That might help.
Could be worse, the puppy could have eaten the pens!
Tricia, just remember one day you’ll be fondly remembering these days and wishing you had an “on” switch. 😉
All…I’m catching up on my comment replies. This is in response to the comment you left following my second Arte y Pico Award!
Hey Tricia, it’s my pleasure….Yeah, we definitely must go rafting sometime. When can you get away from your blogging? I’m a trip leader now, I can take you down the river.
Sheila–Thank you very much. Trust me, you are doing all of that. Yeah, every once in a while it’s necessary to mix it up a bit. Fortunately, “meanderings” are such an integral part of my blog. 😉
Mariuca, you completly rock! You’re too kind and so very generous!
Jennifer, my pleasure. Any time you need help with anything, just give me a shout.
Amy–Who was it that said “and good will towards men?” I don’t think it was Tiny Tim.
Suzette thanks for both the congrats and for the well wishes in the BotB…I couldn’t buy a win right now.
Buddy–I just adore dogs. Read my post under “Classic MTMD”: Year of the Dog: Remembering Buffy, Mookie, and Duke.
Cheers everyone!
A puppy is so lively!!
I guess there is no off switch, but a long walk might do you both good 🙂
Wishing you a great end to your week!
Ok, call me terrible, but if you are desperate, give this a try. I tablespoon of peanutbutter applied to the roof of a puppy’s mouth is as close to an off switch as it comes. They’ll be working for a while trying to lick it off, and will even give you a chuckle or too. (Be safe, and make sure it’s not too much to choke them).
Why didn’t you let the puppy out while you were in the garden? A few hours of “helping” you dig and he would have been out like a light!
When I first got my Min Pin, he was a complete lunatic. After a few months, though, he settled down, both because he was getting used to his new environment and simply because he was getting older. We started training him at 3.5 months and he’s pretty much an angel now. At least in our eyes… 🙂
