Yes he is adoreable.....This is Enzo. He's our 3 month year old black lab. But don't let his looks deceive you. Last night, the phone rang. I answered it and went upstairs while talking on the phone. Everything important was on our coffee table. Thinking things were safe, I decided to finish my conversation which maybe lasted 10 minutes. I go back downstairs to find....
1. Chewed up chap stick
2. Chewed up Direct TV remote (thankfully the damage was minimal and it still works)
3. Chewed up pieces of paper and laundry lint from our laundry room garbage can he discovered yesterday.
4. And him lying on the couch trying to attack the kitty (he's not allowed on the furniture).
I think I have discovered that I don't have patience. I get angry and of course yell which doesn't do any good. As if animals understand what you say to them. He just looks at me with those cute brown eyes as if saying "I'm sorry mommy, I didn't mean to". My heart just melts which doesn't do me any good when I have to spank him and tell him no. I feel like a bad mommy.
The bright side of this is I actually think he is starting to get the hang with the potty training. If he wakes up from a nap, I know to take him out immediately. He's even asked a few times to go outside. The other bright side is he is the sweetest dog when he's doing what he is supposed to be....not chewing on things, not chasing the cat, or peeing in the house. The process of puppyhood defintely gets frustrating at times but he's been a joy to have around.....for the most part.
