Hi all,
Just thought i'd finally register and say hi, I have been reading all the good advice from you all for the past few weeks and since we bought Simba home, its been such a help.
We have the cutest little 8 week old (8 weeks on sunday), looks like butter wouldnt melt...... but as you will all know, looks can be deceiving!!!
Talk about a biter!! My little 3 year old daughter loves him but the biting can get a bit hard and has reduced her to tears a few times. We explain that he is only playing and feeling with his teeth, but not much help to her when she has teeth marks.
The weeing and the pooing is frustrating but will pass with age, is there a typical stage this starts to clear up?
I think a lot of these issues will ease once he is aloud out to play, once his jabs are out of the way. We cant wait to take him for walkies and do all things doggy with him. He has all this excitable energy in him, just waiting to get out in the garden with us, we feel so cruel keeping him in!!
On a good note, im sure he has started to sit on command, granted when I have a treat in my hand but Im very proud of him all the same.
Any tips on the above, or anyone that wants to say hi are welcome, we talk about him ALL the time and would love to share stories/advice.
Thanks all
Paul, Stephanie, Summer and little Simba
