It was real hard for Mom to get anything done the first few weeks with Bailie. We tried to wear her out so she would nap and Mom could work. It just throws a wrench in the routine for a few months.

I love that you have enough crotchless pants already – I think you may have meant as in lots of dogs have eaten them, but it some came across and I so saw that you have a hidden wardrobe hidden away that contains all sorts of fun stuff for you and hubby, including crotchless pants!

Food puzzle toys, kongs, etc. are great for keeping a puppy physically occupied and mentally stimulated! One of my current favorites that I usually recommend to my puppy clients is the IQ treat ball.

Housework is patient, it will wait. But puppies, they grow too fast.

First time they pee or poop behind the couch…which is where they go because they are in a big, new, and therefore, scary environment…it’s match, set, game over. It’s the biggest mistake people make with new puppies. They think the puppy is running around exploring because he’s so thrilled to be in a new, exciting place…No. He’s running around looking for Mom and the nest, anything that smells familiar, and he’s definitely not happy. Leave him in his pen, unless he has a short lead attached that you have hold of. It’s really easy to teach the Stay command this way. They are pretty happy to “stay” with you.

My only suggestion is to take advantage of every time that puppy is napping to get some things done!
