Chrissy The Annoying One

Nom Nom Nom!!

How long do the annoying Toddler Years last for puppies!!  Chrissy has been such a pest lately! Digging in garbage - barking at everything - eating paper - peeing on my clean sheets - eating my shoes - eating furniture!!!  Yes - those last two just started!  Last night I was dipping cake balls in chocolate when I looked out in to the living room to see what Miss Chris was up to and she had gotten my Sunday shoes from the bedroom and was eating them!!  I wasn't quick enough realizing what she was up too and she ate the back off of one shoe!  Last weekend I heard a noise and looked down to find her eating the leg of a TV Tray Table . . . . . and one of her toys sitting right there!

I thought maybe she just needed a rawhide to chew on because she was bored with stuffed toys so I gave her one and she buried it in my bed.  Gave her a different one with Peanut Butter in it and she buried it in the couch.  Ooh - she just jumped up on the couch to get the Peanut Butter one - maybe she's ready to chew it up. . . . . . . . . . . Nope . . . . . . . she just ran down the hall with it in her mouth - I'm guessing it's on its way to being hidden under my covers. . . . . . Now she's back out here in the living room with it - went over by the front door - now she's back down the hall.  I guess as long as she's entertained looking for hiding spots it will keep her from eating the house. . . . . . . Any guesses on where this is going to end up.  Aw Crap - took my eyes off her for a few minutes and now she's up on the couch with me - no peanut butter rawhide!!

Sometimes she acts like a dog and other times I think she thinks she's a cat!  She was "perched" on the couch with her butt near my shoulder watching me on the computer.  All of a sudden she put her nose right on the screen - I wasn't sure what she was doing until I moved the cursor a bit and she followed it with her nose and tried to catch it with her tongue!  I started to move it quickly back and forth and her head was all twitchy - going back and forth - trying to catch it - just like my cats do when I flash a light back and forth.  She is a funny funny girl.

So . . . . back to the original question . . . . . How long are the Toddler Years of a Puppy!!
