Puppy classical

* Puppy comes rushing, the moment the FRONTpaws are on the paper, they peeeeeeeee!
* Pup runs to the door whining, you rush after probably thinking "I hope I make it before the accident", pup only needed to go out and play with your other dogs.
* Pup runs to the door whimpering, you rush after probably thinking "I hope I make it before the accident", pup needed new leafs or branches to chew on.
* Pup runs to the door whining, you say "I'm not taking you out again, just because you're bored", pup causes hallflood.
* Pup runs to the door whimpering, you rush after probably thinking "I hope I make it before the accident this time", pup needs to go out and sitt and look at the surroundings/eat soil...


* Pup lies next to a basket full of dogchew and toys, chewing at the basket.
* Pup lies on the floor surrounded by dogchew and toys, chewing on chairleg/woodknob...
* Pup lies in my mothers lap with a chew, when pup leaves, there's some hole at the bottom of the skirt, and the chew seemed unchewed...


* Clean and wellbrushed pup goes out in the garden, in comes something disguised as a bush/pile of mud.
* Relatively clean pup runs into your hall before you can catch and clean the paws with the dogtowel, BUT pup disguised as a bush runs around every room in the house before you can catch and use the dogtowel (when it really isn't any need of it longer).


* Loose pup hears their name be called, turns their head to look at owner, seems to estimate their chances of successful escape...
* Pup looks at owner as if saying "What, where you talking to me?", happens pretty much in any situation.
* Pup believes everything involves them, any sort of human down-bending is either an invitation to play or a way to make yourself more accessible, tying shoelaces/wipe up accidents etc. is just irrelevant excuses.
* Pup gets the acute Wow-my-legs-can-run-so-fast-feelings.
* The look in your pups eyes when they realize that certain sounds originate from their own behind.


* A very happy puppy finally was big enough to conquer the catlitterbox, sitts comfortably inside it, picks, chews and stares with big eyes when becoming aware of that owner have lift the lid and DEMANDS to know what they're doing there?! (I know, it was a very stupid thing to ask.)

Most of those could apply to Evie just now (4 months old). The hours I seem to spend in the garden waiting for her to "perform" whilst she picks up sticks, grass, windfall apples etc, then as soon as we come back in the house she urgently needs to go out again. Don't you just love them!

I'm now into owning my sixth and seventh puppy, and it just made me start to think about the things that never change with owning a puppy, regardless of the breeds I've choosen.

We are on day three of our first puppy and she seems to know that she has to pee/poo quickly when I take her out - is this beginners luck or will my lovely puppy soon be a nightmare

Must be beginners luck, as you say, but I'm not sure it equals coming nightmares. Not regarding the peeing or pooing at least, they just find new ways to make you go bonkers.
