    Beware, she's lulling you into a false sense of security ;)

    You don't know what horrors she's plotting in her sleep.... :eek:

    Oh that made me laugh! We've all had those days where they have been so good (must be feeling a bit off) before we know it they're back to being mad lunatics! X

    My puppy Luna is also 14 weeks and I was not ashamed to tell my mum yesterday that I preferred my life before I got her!
    I love her (now) and would never give her up but I seriously miss my independence! The whole day revolves around her.
    We started puppy classes too and only had 1 session, all the other pups seemed so calm and Luna just wanted to run and jump over everyone. She would not pay us a blind bit of attention no matter how many pieces of chicken we waved at her.
    I'm glad she's confident and not scared but she's hard work! 2nd class tomorrow so here's hoping she's a little calmer xx

    Sending you lots of sympathy. :hug:


    I've not had a puppy in 14 years, yet I still refer to the first year as "puppy hell". I have an amazing capacity to forget bad points in my life, but I quite clearly remember feeling that "what have I done and how can I fix this" feeling. Twice. And if I'm honest, one of the reasons I'm being so cautious in finding my next puppy is that I know that feeling will come once again.

    On the other hand, I also know that it's worth it and that as horrible as puppy hell is, it WILL pass. Not that it helps you while you are in the thick of it!

    Hopefully you will find some help when you start your classes, if for no other reason as you won't feel so alone - there will be other people going through the same right in front of you. I always could find at least one person whose puppy was more well behaved than mine to aspire to and one "student" who was so naughty that he activated my schadenfreude gene to where I thought, "Hey, I guess I'm pretty lucky after all!". Oops, should I admit that last bit? :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I hope you find the same, or a least a reason to laugh instead of crying until you come out the other side of puppyhood. :)

    I remember going to my first puppy class thinking it would be a misery fest with all of us barely functioning as human beings and falling over ourselves to admit the hell we were living and the huge mistake we'd all made, but no, that was just me!!
