Whatever anybody says, 5 months old is still very much a puppy! As long as we can get past the expected sibling rivalry – mostly the fact that Molly is an attention hog and Bailey is turning out to be a toy hog – we ought to be just fine. The furniture, woodwork and shoes, however, had better be careful! One of Denis’ boots is now sporting a lovely new hole. :)
Bailey isn’t so happy with the crate solution, but for our own sanity and his safety (he tried to chew on one of our outlet covers!) we’re going to insist. Since he was picked up as a stray, it’s hard to know if his dislike of the crate is just normal separation anxiety or if he was punished with one in the past…
I haven’t tried to pull out the knitting yet – it could be interesting!
