Dear Dog

[happyscientist]

My Flat Coated Retriever did it by pulling on the towel hanging on the handle.

I used to have a flat coat. That dog was way too smart and curious. Eventually, we just started leaving doors open because she would open them all if they weren't locked.

Dear dog,
Yes it is hilarious when you steal my socks, but do you have to slobber on them?

Dear Holly the snow bear,

Yes you are a Great Pyrenees only 13 weeks old and almost as big as our full grown golden boy, Flynn.
But just because you a still a baby doesn't mean you can do what ever you want.

Don't:

1. chase the cats. You're supposed to protect them. They are not your chew toys.
2. chase the layer chickens. You're also supposed to protect them against racoons and such. They are not your chew toys.
3. counter surf. There are no food within your reach on the counter anyway.
4. grab your mom's shoes and chew them. They are not your chew toys. We put them away where you are not supposed to be able to reach.

and please don't rough house with the golden boy inside the house. Flynn is just over a year old golden with lots of energy and so do you. But 120 pounds of dogs running around the house is just too much and even for the cats and our elderly pyrenees-golden mix Cody.

Lastly, I need to be able to sleep without you practicing howling at night.

13 weeks is a good time for a puppy class. Lots of exercise and mental stimulation - "a tired puppy is a good puppy."
