Puppies like to chew. And Jaws could be the poster puppy for chewing canines. They say that puppies chew to relieve the pain of teething. They usually have their adult teeth by 6 months of age - so we still have a few more months of this maladaptive masticating ahead of us. My human has frozen wet wash cloths - and Jaws is interested in them for about 2 minutes - tossing and flinging them around the room. They act as fairly dangerous projectiles while they are still frozen. We also have every form of chew toy available - spread around the house. He has his favorites - deer antlers are a hit. He also likes sticks, carpet, chair rails, mud, pant legs, his leash and the hair on Velcro dog's ears. My human is constantly offering him the "correct" thing to chew - rather than the roster of inedible, inappropriate options.
One thing that has been QUITE remarkable in the past few days - my human actually had a 20 minute period when we were all in the same room, hanging out and sleeping. She literally looked to the heavens and said a thank you to God for the moment of respite.
Time to bug my human to play fetch. Jaws hasn't quite figured out the game yet. He runs out to get the ball, and races back to my human at full speed and then JUST as he is within grabbing distance, he veers off to the side and runs past her. Shades of Paxton...
Have a happy Saturday. You know I will!
