A personal blog devoted to the life with our puppy, a Doberman bitch Kimmy.

Yesterday was not my day

Kimmy was driving me nuts since morning, and the icing on the cake was having to clean up a CRAPLOAD of -- DOG POO -- from the living room floor in the evening (she hasn't done this for a long time).

First of all, going for walks with her is no longer fun but an exercise in futility. She continuously jumps up at me, grabs my pants, BITES the pants (or the ankles), and when I keep telling her "no", she growls on me!

Not only am I covered in mud prints after each walk, but my pants have holes in them, my ankles are bruised, and I'm sick of repeating no over and over and over. Will this dog ever learn???

When we are at home, the nipping and biting goes on! I can't tell you how many clothes have gaping holes in them from her teeth. Several pairs of Ben's PJs are practically shredded, and he's starting to avoid Kimmy, too, because now when she jumps up at him, she is as tall as he is and heavy enough to knock him down!

She has chewy bones and plenty of toys to chew that I offer her, but she will always drop them and head straight for a human limb! Not to mention the shoes (yes, I can report 3 casualties).

Today was marginally better, but the biting!!! She's 16 weeks old now, so I don't know whether she is teething or what.
